When Jennifer Lopez initiated her divorce from Ben Affleck in August 2024, it marked the end of her fourth marriage, signaling serious personal challenges for both actors. After reconciling following their early 2000s romance, their unexpected wedding in 2022 was short-lived, as past issues reemerged — notably, Affleck’s fluctuating moods and Lopez’s eagerness for public attention.
Even with public affection observed during their divorce process, Lopez and Affleck reached a settlement earlier this month. The absence of a prenuptial agreement made asset division tricky. Meanwhile, Lopez is reportedly still contemplating Affleck as she navigates rumors of a potential new relationship, leading to speculation in Hollywood.
The Neighborhood Dynamics of Ben and J.Lo
Lopez’s search for a new home remains active, despite wildfires threatening Los Angeles for almost three weeks. She continues to explore listings as she approaches the sale of the $60 million Beverly Hills property she once shared with Affleck. Coincidentally, she’s considering properties in the same area where Affleck lives.
Last April, Affleck moved into a $20 million residence in the Brentwood neighborhood, having briefly evacuated due to the ongoing fires. Reports from TMZ indicate Lopez has visited a mansion in Brentwood, but must weigh her options due to the deteriorating air quality in the region.
The prospect of Lopez, 55, moving close to Affleck, 52, could ignite rumors and discussions in Tinseltown. Lately, Lopez has been linked to actor Kevin Costner, 70, sparking speculation about a potential relationship forming in 2025. Simultaneously, as Affleck spends time with his ex-wife Jennifer Garner, also 52, it’s curious whether their former romance might reignite in response to Lopez’s presence in Brentwood.
