AceShowbiz - Following her recent divorce from Ben Affleck, Jennifer Lopez has reportedly acquired a stunning new residence near Los Angeles. The pop icon and actress shelled out an impressive $18 million for the new property, underlining her fresh start after the end of a high-profile relationship.

Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck finalized their divorce in January, just five months after the singer-turned-actress filed to end their two-year marriage. The pair initially tied the knot in a Las Vegas ceremony in July 2022 before celebrating their union with a second wedding in Georgia in 2023.

The "Let's Get Loud" singer has been actively seeking a new abode since the spring of the previous year. Sources reveal that her house hunt gained momentum in April 2024, coinciding with the rocky phase of her marriage.

Interestingly, despite the buzz around her latest acquisition, Lopez's Beverly Hills mansion, which she purchased with Affleck, remains on the market. The former couple had originally bought the luxurious estate for a staggering $60 million after their Las Vegas wedding.

Public interest peaked not just because of the news of the new purchase, but also due to Affleck's recent remarks on their split. In an interview with GQ for their April 2025 cover story, the Oscar-winner described their divorce as "drama-free," emphasizing their respect for each other.

"I have nothing but respect [for her]," Affleck stated, dismissing the notion that public scrutiny played a significant role in their breakup. He elaborated, "You've got to own what you knew going into any relationship."

Yet, despite their amicable and scandal-free divorce, Affleck was determined to keep the details of their split secret for now. "The reason I don't want to share that is just sort of embarrassing. It feels vulnerable," he explained.

According to reports, Lopez is ready to enter dating scene again. With a new residence and positive outlook for future, Jennifer Lopez is all set for the next chapter in her life.
