Looks like Ben Affleck and JLo have decided who to switch to

First comes love, then comes marriage, then comes the baby in the pram, right? Well, not for Hollywood couple Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez, whose romantic timeline is a little different from most others. Love came first, then a failed engagement at an early age, followed by having children / marriages with other people. The two then reunited in 2021 and eventually got married in a surprise wedding in Las Vegas last June. However, Bennifer made the deal, while their life situation was still changing, but that was okay as they finally decided where to move.

Phase I: Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez start looking for a forever home

Truth be told, the iconic artist couple have been looking for a place to call home together for some time now. Their house hunt reportedly began months before Ben Affleck’s marriage proposal to JLo took place during a sultry bubble bath session in April. At the time, it was suggested that they bid on a Texas billionaire property that had 17 bathrooms in total.

However, apparently this was not the case or it would not be. After they got engaged, another rumor circulated that they had made a different offer on the Beverly Hills mansion owned by Mariah Carey’s former billionaire boyfriend James Packer. But it turns out that Affleck and Lopez are only leasing the location temporarily.

Phase II: Mr. and Mrs. Affleck Eye settle down

Fast forward to last month: Ben and Jen got married, as mentioned, which Ben’s ex Gwyn (Paltrow) was very happy about. His search for a home would have since been completely halted, however, with TMZ Reporting that the newly minted Afflecks have decided to forgo the purchase of a new home and will instead move into JLo’s $ 28 million Bel-Air estate they have owned since 2016.

Sources say major renovation plans are underway to make the property more suitable for their mixed family needs. As a result, the official move date won’t be for another year or so, so they’ll stay with Packer McMansion until then.

This could very well be the real plan of the stars. Because TMZ The former Batman actor, who will soon reprise his role in next summer’s film, has also announced it water man 2 – put his bachelor flat in Pacific Palisades up for sale this week. It is apparently looking to overthrow the 7-bedroom behemoth, having bought it for nearly $ 20 million in 2018 and putting it on the market for nearly $ 30 million. The potential return on investment will certainly fund JLo’s home renovation. (And don’t worry, that sale at sunset the star / real estate agent who claimed to have matched Affleck to Raya is not the star of the sale here).

Phase III: Happy and content for Ben Affleck and JLo?

Something for the wife, huh? Now that they’ve officially put a ring on it, so to speak, and the housing problem creeps in, it’s time for fairy tales forever. Everyone seems to have an opinion, including the pop singer’s first husband, about how long the relationship will last. But the only ones that really matter are those of Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez’s five children from previous relationships, who would get along well and would be the new father figures in their lives, according to reports.

Additionally, the couple are reportedly planning a much grander second wedding at another Affleck-owned property. So they can proclaim their love in front of close friends and their entire family, instead of just the Little White Chapel pastor and random onlookers in Las Vegas.

Together, the actors are always busy acting. Jennifer Lopez’s next role in the action thriller Mother The release is scheduled in the Netflix 2022 schedule by the end of the year. Meanwhile, Ben Affleck makes an appearance in Employees IIIwhich will be released in theaters on September 13th. So, overall, first comes love, then marriage, then home and the new era for Hollywood’s most infamous “It” couple.
