The couple even invested a whopping $60 million in their dream house - which also recently popped up on a real estate site - in Bel Air, California. However, recently the ‘AIR’ star has not been living in the mansion and opted for a $100k a month rented property in Brentwood as his residence.
After a seven-week absence from appearing together, the couple was first seen together during one of Affleck’s children’s school performances last month.

The statement continued, “For those who purchased through Ticketmaster, tickets will automatically be refunded – there is nothing further fans need to do.”
Lopez also addressed her fans in a statement published on the OntheJLo site saying, “I am completely heartsick and devastated about letting you down,” before adding, “Please know that I wouldn’t do this if I didn’t feel that it was absolutely necessary.”
