Jennifer Lopez ‘reaches out to ex Ben Affleck’ after LA wildfires see him flee home

After being forced to leave Ben Affleck’s home due to the devastating wildfires in Los Angeles, singer Jennifer Lopez is reportedly keeping in touch with her ex-boyfriend.

The Batman star, 52, had to evacuate his $20.5 (£17 million) mansion in Pacific Palisades on Tuesday after unrelenting flames destroyed thousands of properties in California.

Jennifer, 55, and Ben parted ways in 2024 after just two years of marriage. After the devastating events, sources claim that the I’m Real star’s ex and his three children are in contact regularly. Since “she heard he was evacuated,” they claimed J-Lo has been particularly stressed out about Ben’s health.

A source told Page Six that the singer “has been checking in on Ben throughout this whole ordeal” and “let him know she’s there for him and the kids”, in reference toViolet, 18, Seraphina, 15, and Samuel, 12, whom he shares with ex Jennifer Garner.

The insider continued, noting that she had “offered her support for whatever they needed.”

After J-Lo filed for divorce in August of last year, the former couple, affectionately known as “Bennifer,” called it quits on their union. However, the mum-of-two is said to have “reached out as soon as she heard about Ben’s home possibly being in danger and that he was evacuated”.

On Tuesday night, Ben was seen driving to his ex-wife, Jennifer Garner’s home in Pacific Palisades as both of their multi-million dollar properties were under threat from the wildfires. The Oscar winner, who wed his second wife J-Lo earlier this month, is one of the many celebrities who have been driven out of the wealthy LA district’s fires, which have destroyed homes and are fueled by winds of more than 100 mph.

Earlier this week, pictures emerged of Ben driving to 52 year old Jennifer’s pad. The former couple split in June 2015, just days after their 10-year wedding anniversary, but they continue to be close friends while raising their three children together.

By Wednesday, Ben returned to his estate after learning that it was still standing. Ben’s home is still under an evacuation order, according to a source who spoke to Page Six.

Numerous celebrities have revealed that the fire destroyed their homes on social media. Anthony Hopkins, singer, Jhene Aiko, and multi-millionairess, Paris Hilton all lost their properties as socialite, Paris, admitted she was “heartbroken”.

Taking to social media, sharing a footage of her burnt-out home, she explained how the “unimaginable” destruction by the fires had left her overwhelmed, but that she was “holding onto gratitude that my family and pets are safe. Heartbroken beyond words”, Paris wrote. No one should ever have to go through the experience of watching our home in Malibu burn to the ground on live TV while watching the news with my family.
