Ben Affleck has reportedly purchased a new $20 million mansion in Los Angeles, sparking further speculation about his marital status with Jennifer Lopez. This move comes after the couple listed their shared Beverly Hills home for $68 million, following reports of ongoing tension in their relationship.

Although neither Affleck nor Lopez has publicly addressed their marital situation, sources have revealed to PEOPLE that they are currently focused on their separate lives and have no joint summer plans. The couple has been living apart for several months, with Affleck residing in a rental home in Brentwood.

Despite occasional public appearances wearing their wedding rings, the purchase of a new home by Affleck suggests a significant shift in their relationship. Celebrity realtor Josh Flagg, who is not associated with the couple, believes the sale of their Beverly Hills home indicates a strong desire to move on, even if it means taking a financial loss.

The couple's separation and recent real estate decisions have fueled rumors of a potential divorce, despite their public displays of affection. While the future of their marriage remains uncertain, the new home purchase adds another layer to the ongoing speculation surrounding the high-profile couple.
