Ben Affleck’s surprising whereabouts revealed as Jennifer Lopez ends their marriage
On the second anniversary of their wedding ceremony in Georgia, Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez are calling it quits. Lopez on Tuesday filed for divorce from Affleck to bring a tumultuous marriage to an official end, with the couple’s $68 million Beverly Hills mansion still up for sale.
Affleck and Lopez have been living separate lives for months, as the two actors came to the realization that their marriage was not going to work out. Affleck purchased a new home in Los Angeles for $20 million and has been spending time with his children in addition to working around the clock. It was no surprise that Affleck was not present at Los Angeles County Superior Court when Lopez filed for divorce on Tuesday.
Affleck on Tuesday was back on the East Coast with ex-wife Jennifer Garner. They were dropping off their oldest daughter, Violet Affleck, at Yale University in Connecticut — where the 18-year-old is set to begin undergraduate studies this fall. Getting Violet prepared for college life has been Affleck’s #1 priority in recent weeks, according to an insider who spoke to People. However, that isn’t all Affleck has been up to in recent days.
Before a small celebration at home on Aug. 15 — in recognition of his 52nd birthday — Affleck joined Garner and their three kids on a trip to Japan. Garner, who was married to Affleck between 2005 and 2018, shared a photo collage to Instagram from her trip — and even though Affleck does not feature in the photos, People has confirmed that he was there.

Lopez has not been too bothered publicly by Affleck spending time with Garner, and the “Let’s Get Loud” singer has a close relationship with Violet — just like Affleck has a close bond with Lopez’s twins Max and Emme. The strength and resolve behind those relationships will be tested in the coming weeks and months, as Lopez and Affleck bring their marriage to a close and move on with their lives.
