Ben Affleck was recently seen looking visibly exhausted while sitting in his car and speaking on the phone, following a full day at his production company, Artists Equity. The sighting, captured in Los Angeles, came just one day after the actor spent his Sunday touring bachelor pads in the upscale Brentwood neighborhood.
The low-key outing immediately sparked renewed speculation about Affleck’s personal life, which has been under close scrutiny in recent months. Brentwood, known for its quiet streets and family-friendly vibe, is also notably close to the home of Affleck’s ex-wife, Jennifer Garner.
Affleck and Garner have maintained a strong co-parenting relationship since their divorce in 2018, after a decade-long marriage. The former couple shares three children: Violet, 19, Fin, 16, and Samuel, 13. Despite their split, they have remained on good terms and are often seen attending family functions together, according to the Daily Mail.
The actor’s renewed interest in Brentwood real estate is particularly notable given his recent separation from pop icon Jennifer Lopez. Affleck reportedly purchased a new home in the area about a year ago for approximately $20 million. The five-bedroom property became his residence after he and Lopez parted ways.
Meanwhile, the sprawling estate Affleck and Lopez bought together—known as Crestview Manor—remains unsold. Located in Beverly Hills, the palatial property was acquired for over $60 million and sits on five acres of land. It features an impressive twelve bedrooms and twenty-four bathrooms, along with luxury amenities such as a gym, swimming pool, sports courts, and a private bar.
The couple had only been married for two years before calling it quits earlier this year. Though their relationship had captivated the public with its high-profile rekindling and lavish lifestyle, it ultimately came to an end, leaving behind not only emotional ties but also major financial and real estate entanglements.
Despite the home’s expansive offerings and prime location, it has yet to attract a buyer, adding another layer of uncertainty to Affleck’s post-divorce transition.
While representatives for Affleck have not commented publicly on his current housing search or personal matters, the actor’s recent movements suggest he may be preparing for a new chapter—one that possibly includes settling back into a quieter life closer to his children and former wife in Brentwood.
