He reportedly bought a stunning Pacific Palisades, Calif. home for $20.5 million as his marital residence with Lopez sits on the market for $68 million — an $8 million increase from the price they snagged it for in June 2023.
The 51-year-old actor’s new bachelor pad, seen in photos obtained by Page Six, is much simpler than his and Lopez’s house with a reported 5 bedrooms and 6 bathrooms.
Comparatively, his and the “On the Floor” singer’s home is 38,000 square feet and boasts 12 bedrooms and 24 bathrooms.
Notable features in Affleck’s new abode are separate breakfast and dining spaces, a family room, a den, a media room and a powder room. The inside is spacious and airy with vaulted ceilings and wood beams that give it charm.
The kitchen features a chef’s stove and a massive stone island that seats five people.
One of the living spaces hosts floor-to-ceiling windows that lead to a beautiful in-ground pool and a covered patio that houses a fireplace.
There is also a guest house and horse stables on the well-manicured property.
A source told People earlier this week that Affleck’s new place offers a “sense of privacy and seclusion” and is “family-friendly” but has the potential to be transformed into the ultimate bachelor pad.
His decision to pick up a house ideal for entertaining family is no surprise, as an insider previously told the outlet that Affleck “never liked” his and Lopez’s house because it was “too far away from his kids.”
Affleck shares three kids with his ex-wife, Jennifer Garner: Violet, 18, Seraphina, 15, and Samuel, 12.
It’s not clear when he plans to move into his new place. Earlier this summer, the Oscar winner was thought to be staying in a Brentwood, Calif. rental home, where both Lopez and Garner were seen visiting him.
“Ben especially wants to be done with the house. He was never happy there,” the source noted.
The “Gigli” co-stars have been at the center of divorce rumors since May — when the “Marry Me” star walked the Met Gala carpet without her husband.
A person close to the stars told Page Six last month their marriage has been “over for months.”
Furthermore, another insider told us in May that the “Good Will Hunting” star is ready to move on and would “divorce on grounds of temporary insanity” if it were an option.
