Jennifer Lopez's real estate search has intensified amidst rumors of her split from husband Ben Affleck. The 55-year-old singer and actress was recently seen touring a $22 million Beverly Hills home, following Affleck's purchase of a $20.5 million estate in the Pacific Palisades.
Sources close to Lopez reveal that she is feeling "furious" and "humiliated" by the public nature of their rumored separation. "She's furious. He has humiliated her," a source stated. "He was the one who initiated getting back together. He's humiliated her because she made a big deal that he's the love of her life. They just had two weddings two years ago."
This recent home viewing marks Lopez's second significant real estate tour in a short period, having previously checked out a $68 million mansion in Beverly Hills. Accompanied by her 16-year-old daughter Emme, Lopez's recent activities suggest she is preparing for a significant change.
The saga between Lopez and Affleck, both highly public figures, has been a topic of speculation and intrigue. Affleck, 51, moved out of their $60 million marital home earlier this year, opting for a $100,000 per month rental in Brentwood. The timing of his purchase of a new home on Lopez's 55th birthday has only fueled the rumor mill.
Adding to the complexity, insiders suggest that the couple has already finalized their divorce papers but are waiting for the right moment to make the announcement public. "They finalized the divorce papers a month ago but are waiting for the right time to drop them," a source close to the couple disclosed. "At that time, they will release a joint statement that will say how they have much love for each other and how they fought to make it work but couldn't."
Despite the personal turmoil, Lopez continues her search for a new home. Her recent tour of a five-bedroom, seven-bathroom pad in Beverly Hills, accompanied by Emme, highlights her focus on moving forward. "She's looking for a new place to create fresh memories," said a real estate insider, as reported by Page Six.
Affleck's recent move has been attributed to his desire to be closer to his children with ex-wife Jennifer Garner. "Ben really likes his new home and feels hopeful about the change," a source told Entertainment Tonight. "He wanted to move and be closer to [ex-wife] Jennifer Garner and their kids."
The separation of the "Gigli" co-stars has been a hot topic since June, with their marital home listed on Zillow and subsequently put on the market. Despite the speculation and apparent preparations for a new chapter in their lives, neither Lopez nor Affleck has publicly commented on their relationship status in recent months.
However, insiders report that Lopez is struggling with the public nature of the split. "She has not fully accepted it is over," an insider claimed, noting her frustration and feelings of betrayal.
The history between Lopez and Affleck is well-documented. They were previously engaged from 2002 to 2004, only to rekindle their romance in 2021. During their time apart, Affleck married Garner, with whom he shares three children, while Lopez had two more marriages and became a mother to twins Emme and Max with ex-husband Marc Anthony.
