Just days after Jennifer Lopez was photographed house-hunting in Los Angeles, word around Hollywood is that Ben Affleck is also looking for a new place, sources tell Page Six.

There is buzz in real estate circles, we hear, that Affleck is looking for a new home in the City of Angels.

This news comes shortly after the “Argo” actor was seen driving his Sports car in LA’s tony Brentwood, Calif., neighborhood — where TMZ reported he left a house where he’d been staying the night.

But the photos also showed Affleck, 51, wearing his wedding ring as he dangled his left hand out of the window.

The “Gone Girl” star has reportedly been staying at the Brentwood home “over the past week or so.”

His ex-wife, Jennifer Garner, lives nearby.

Lopez, 54, was similarly spotted looking at a property in LA on Tuesday, but an insider insisted she was merely searching for an investment property.

Rumors have recently surfaced claiming Bennifer — who eloped in Vegas in July 2022 before having a larger wedding in Georgia the following month — in is on the rocks.

Chatter began when she attended the 2024 Met Gala solo last week.

A source told TMZ that Affleck could not attend fashion’s biggest night because he was busy filming “The Accountant 2″ across the country.

“Jen and Ben are having issues in their marriage,” an insider told Us Weekly. “They started having issues a few months ago as Jen had started ramping up work commitments and prepping for her tour.”

InTouch reported that Lopez and Affleck are in therapy to work on their marital issues.

On Thursday night, Lopez and Affleck were spotted together in public for the first time in more than a month.

The couple attended a school production for one of Affleck’s kids. But a source told the Daily Mail that the twosome “did not hug or kiss” during the “frosty” meetup.

Affleck and Lopez purchased a massive $60 million mansion in Beverly Hills in June 2023 after two years of house-hunting.

The 38,000-square-foot abode boasts 12 bedrooms, 24 bathrooms and a full basketball court. It also has a zero-edge pool, guest penthouse, caretaker’s house, 12-car garage and enough room to park 80 vehicles.

The “Love Don’t Cost a Thing” singer gave her millions of Instagram followers a glimpse inside the palatial dwelling before the 2024 Golden Globes in January.

They were also seen browsing properties in NYC last month.

While neither the stars nor their reps have commented on their relationship status, Lopez recently “liked” a cryptic Instagram post detailing qualities in a partner that could lead to an unhealthy relationship.

The post explained, “You cannot build a healthy relationship with somebody” who “lacks integrity and emotional safety.”

It also warned against people who don’t “respect your time” and lack “communication skills.”

Affleck and Lopez initially got engaged in the early 2000s but called off the wedding and broke up.

They each moved on and had kids with Garner and Marc Anthony, respectively, before rekindling their flame nearly two decades later.
