Jennifer Lopez has made a major real estate move, purchasing a $21 million estate in Hidden Hills, California, as she continues to navigate her separation from husband Ben Affleck. According to Daily Mail, the 2.5-acre property—nestled in the private and star-studded Hidden Hills enclave—is not a move to distance herself from Affleck, whose Brentwood home is about an hour away, but rather a decision driven by a desire for peace, privacy, and security.
The estate offers a tranquil lifestyle away from the bustle of Los Angeles, something Lopez has reportedly prioritized as she focuses on raising her 16-year-old twins, Max and Emme. The gated community is known for its tight security and exclusivity, making it a popular choice among celebrities seeking privacy.

“It’s not about putting distance between her and Ben,” a source told the outlet. “It’s about creating a calm, secure environment for her and the kids.” The purchase comes amid Lopez and Affleck’s quiet efforts to manage their separation. The couple, who famously rekindled their early 2000s romance in 2021 and tied the knot in a Las Vegas ceremony in 2022, have reportedly been living apart in recent months.

Adding fuel to speculation surrounding their relationship, their shared $61 million Beverly Hills mansion remains on the market. An attempted sale of the sprawling estate recently fell through, leaving the future of the property—and their living arrangements—in limbo. Sources close to the couple have emphasized that the situation remains amicable, but the two stars are navigating the split carefully and largely out of the public eye.

Lopez, known for her drive and resilience, is said to be focused on maintaining stability for her children while carving out a fresh chapter for herself in Hidden Hills. With its lush landscaping, high-end amenities, and privacy, the new estate offers a fitting retreat for the global superstar as she balances career, family, and personal transition. Though the future of “Bennifer” remains uncertain, Lopez’s latest move signals a clear intent to prioritize peace and privacy on her terms.
