Jennifer Lopez is officially starting a new chapter following her divorce from Ben Affleck, with the recent purchase of a new home near Los Angeles for approximately $18 million, according to property records. The move comes just months after Lopez and Affleck finalized their divorce on January 6, 2025, ending their marriage two years to the day after their second wedding ceremony.

Lopez, 55, had reportedly begun her house hunt in April 2024—around the time her divorce filing cited as the couple’s separation date. At the time, a source told People she was quietly looking for something that offered both privacy and exclusivity. She had even toured a “truly exceptional” Beverly Hills estate, but ultimately chose a different residence.

Lopez’s new property offers a private retreat not far from Hollywood, and marks her official move out of the Beverly Hills home she and Affleck once shared. That mansion, which the couple purchased in June 2023 for just under $61 million, was first offered off-market in June 2024 before being publicly listed a month later for $68 million. It remains on the market.

Meanwhile, Affleck purchased a new $20.5 million home in Los Angeles on July 24. According to sources, the five-bedroom property is “family-friendly” but could easily be reconfigured into a bachelor pad. Located in a low-key, high-profile neighborhood, it reflects Affleck’s effort to reset his living situation post-divorce.

That same day, Lopez finalized the sale of her longtime Manhattan condo for $23 million. The four-bedroom, 7.5-bath duplex had lingered on the market for seven years before finally closing—on Lopez’s 55th birthday. The timing of the sale and new purchase underscores a personal and professional transition for the singer and actress.

Lopez’s split from Affleck, whom she first married in 2022 following a rekindled early-2000s romance, marked the end of a high-profile Hollywood love story that captured public attention for more than two decades. While both stars have remained relatively quiet about the divorce publicly, their parallel real estate moves suggest a definitive separation not just emotionally, but logistically.

As she settles into her new home, Lopez continues to juggle multiple projects in music and film. The new residence signals a fresh start—away from the shared spaces of her past and firmly on her own terms.
