Ben Affleck has seemingly taken a major yet thoughtful decision for himself to cope with the possible fiasco the Argo actor most likely to face if he gets divorce from Jennifer Lopez.

Amid the never-ending divorce rumors surrounding him and JLO, the 51-year-old actor raised many eyebrows by buying a $20 million home in L.A. on his wife's 55th birthday.

Speaking to PEOPLE, the source exclusively revealed the reason behind Ben's five-bedroom residence.

As per the insider Ben's $20.5 million Los Angeles estate has a “sense of privacy and seclusion” and is "not trendy. "

"The environment is family-friendly, but it could easily be transformed into a bachelor pad," the source revealed about actor's new neighbourhood adding that it "boasts a sophisticated crowd—it's not trendy. Real establishment.”

The couple, who are said to be on the verge of divorce have been sharing their Beverly Hills mansion, which is up for sale for $68 million.

They bought the home for $60,850,000 in May 2023 a year after their wedding in July 2022.

This update comes shortly after Daily Mail reported that the couple are just getting their divorce papers ready.
