While Jennifer Lopez celebrated her 55th birthday in July, her husband Ben Affleck was busy buying himself a gift in the form of a $20 million mansion.
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.

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.”
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.
