NEWSBurn! Ben Affleck Bought His New $20 Million L.A. Mansion on Wife Jennifer Lopez's 55th Birthday Amid Divorce Rumors
Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez's lives seem to only be becoming more and more separate.
On Jennifer Lopez's birthday, her husband, Ben Affleck, was busy buying a $20.5 million house for himself in Los Angeles, as his wife celebrated turning 55 in the Hamptons without her husband.
A new report revealed the Gone Girl actor's close of escrow on his new elegant estate in the Pacific Palisades neighborhood of Southern California on Wednesday, July 24, which was also the same day Lopez finalized the sale of her New York City condo.

As OK! previously reported, a source spilled around mid-July that Lopez "was horrified" when she came home from her solo trip to Europe earlier this month only to find out "Ben had packed everything up while she was gone."
The insider compared the clearing out of Affleck's things to a "military operation," claiming his actions felt "very cold."

"As far as she's concerned, a real slap in the face," the confidante confessed, noting she shouldn't have to "waste her time" doing an inventory of their belongings.
