Jennifer Lopez Holds Tight to Ben Affleck as Kevin Costner Romance Rumors Swirl

Jennifer Lopez appears to still be tied to the Bennifer 2.0 chapter, even as she and actor Ben Affleck await the finalization of their divorce settlement on February 20. Despite publicly stating that she has learned to find happiness without a man in her life, Lopez’s recent actions suggest her former partner remains a significant presence.

Amid swirling rumors of a potential romance with Kevin Costner, the 55-year-old actress and singer is reportedly searching for a home in Brentwood, Los Angeles—the same upscale neighborhood where Affleck owns a $20 million mansion. Notably, Affleck’s property was temporarily evacuated during the January 7 wildfires that swept through the area.

According to TMZ, Lopez is eyeing a property right next door to her ex. “Of course, that’s the same L.A. neighborhood where Ben purchased his new home after they split,” the report noted. “We’re told Jen ‘really likes’ the home, but has ‘serious concerns’ about the air quality around it. She likes the place enough to bring in an air quality specialist to test the area before going any further in the purchase process.”

This development has only added to speculation about Lopez’s current state of mind and relationship priorities. While she has maintained that she is focused on her own happiness, her proximity to Affleck’s life—both geographically and emotionally—continues to raise eyebrows.

For Lopez, this chapter follows a storied romantic history. Her upcoming divorce marks the conclusion of her fourth marriage. She was previously married to Ojani Noa (1997–1998), Cris Judd (2001–2003), and Marc Anthony (2004–2014). Each of these relationships has been the subject of public fascination, as has her on-again, off-again connection with Affleck.

Lopez, whose recent projects include the film Unstoppable, has remained in the spotlight not just for her career but also for her personal life. With her reported interest in a Brentwood home next to Affleck’s, it seems the story of Bennifer 2.0 continues to resonate, even as the pair prepares to formally part ways.

While some fans speculate about the significance of Lopez’s real estate choice, others see it as a practical decision unrelated to her past. Whether or not Lopez settles into a home near Affleck, her enduring connection to her former partner keeps Bennifer firmly in the public eye.
