On the same day Jennifer Lopez celebrated her 55th birthday, her husband Ben Affleck closed escrow on his new $20.5 million ‘bachelor pad.
The Last Duel star, 51, purchased his new home in the Pacific Palisades on Wednesday, July 24, as the singer marked her birthday without him.
Coincidentally, that’s also when the Hustlers star finalized the sale of her four-bedroom New York City penthouse for $23 million, as per People.
His purchase came days after they publicly listed their shared Beverly Hills mansion for a whopping $68 million.
The pair have not been pictured together in months amid ongoing rumors of a split, and have spent most of the summer apart on different coasts.
THE BIRTHDAY BLOW
It comes following claims that Affleck’s sudden purchase of the home has been a ‘stab to the heart’ for Lopez.
Affleck’s home has five bedrooms and six bathrooms with breakfast and dining areas, as well as a separate family room, den, walk-in closets, media room, powder room, guest house and more amenities typical of a multi-million dollar house.
The home was designed by architect Cliff May.
Meanwhile the penthouse Lopez sold is a four-bedroom, 7.5-bath duplex.
A source told RadarOnline: ‘Ben’s decision to move into his own home is the final insult.’
