LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Ben Affleck is embracing his new chapter with confidence, leaving behind his $68 million marital home with Jennifer Lopez without a second thought.
Amid the ongoing divorce, sources have claimed that the Oscar-winning actor "never looked back" since moving out, and is "very focused on work and his kids" as he adjusts to life post-split, RadarOnline reported.
Ben Affleck moved out of $68M Beverly Hills home months before Jennifer Lopez filed for divorce
Months before Jennifer Lopez, 55, filed for divorce on August 20, Ben Affleck, 52, had already decided to move out of their Beverly Hills mansion.
Rumors had swirled for months that the couple once considered a Hollywood power duo, were living separate lives. Insiders reveal that Affleck had no regrets about his decision to leave their shared home and was renting a $100,000 per month house in Brentwood, conveniently close to his ex-wife Jennifer Garner and their three children, Violet, 18, Fin, 15, and Samuel, 12.
While whispers of trouble in paradise followed the 'Boiler Room' star and 'On the Floor' singer, sources maintain that Affleck was already focused on his future. Since the split, the film director has been "staying busy and happy" as he navigates life as a newly single man.
In a turn of events, the former couple listed their sprawling marital estate for sale in June, just over a year after purchasing it. By July, Affleck had settled into a $20 million bachelor pad, while Lopez was spotted celebrating her 55th birthday in the Hamptons, far from the turmoil.
Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez are keeping it amicable for their kids amid divorce
Despite being spotted together on several occasions, including Ben Affleck's 52nd birthday, Jennifer Lopez officially filed for divorce in August.
Even after a brief public appearance together in September that fueled reconciliation rumors, sources maintained that the pair are "still moving forward" with their divorce, ensuring an amicable relationship for the sake of their children.
"They all came together for a fun lunch so the kids could hang out. She is trying to be friendly with Ben. They are working out financial details amicably," an insider revealed.
"A divorce is never easy, but Jennifer doesn't want to be selfish about it. The kids always got along and have fun together. It makes her happy seeing the kids happy together. Happy kids are her priority."
Jennifer Lopez reflects on personal growth after split
Jennifer Lopez, reflecting on her journey, shared candid thoughts about her personal growth over the summer. "The work is figuring yourself out. It's looking back at the feelings underneath and the belief systems that we have about ourselves that make us make certain choices and create certain patterns in our life."
"And so, when you get to a point where you think that you've learned the lessons, and then it blows up in your face again, you realize, 'Okay, I haven't, so what is it that I need to look at right now?' I would say, never stop looking inward, because it's so easy to blame everybody else."
Despite the challenges, both stars seem determined to keep moving forward.
