Former Batman actor Ben Affleck has found a new Batcave – a $50 million mansion he is purchasing along with girlfriend Jennifer Lopez. Affleck and Lopez (aka “Bennifer”) have co-purchased a 20,000-foot estate in Bel-Air, Los Angeles – a home that reportedly has 10 bedrooms and 17 bathrooms, multiple kitchens, a gym, home theater, pool, and many other luxurious features. All that space could be an asset, as Affleck and Lopez are reportedly looking to fill the estate with each of their respective children, five in total, who age between ten and sixteen.
Affleck has two girls and a son with ex-wife Jennifer Garner; Lopez has a twin boy and girl with ex-husband Marc Anthony. Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez first met on the set of the film Gigli in 2001 and dated (with an eventual engagement) from 2002 to 2004. Tabloid scrutiny contributed to the couple’s wedding plans stalling and their relationship ending; they went on separate paths of love, marriage, parenting, and separation for the next twenty years, before reuniting in spring of 2021. The fact that they are purchasing a home together is a big signal that things are progressing in a serious direction.
