After spending time together in Miami, Montana, and Los Angeles, Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez may be ready to take their rekindled romance on the road again and are planning to spend the summer at the pop star’s $10 million mansion in the Hamptons.
According to Page Six‘s “Hamptons spies” there’s been some “feverish activity” surrounding the singer’s luxe Water Mill estate. Apparently, crews have been seen doing some landscaping on the grounds, testing the mansion’s security system, and bringing in a boat and fleet of Range Rovers, all of which seems to herald the imminent arrival of Lopez at her summer home. It would make sense that Affleck would be at her side once she finally arrives on the East Coast, as a source previously told People that the two star have been “discussing summer plans” and “want to spend as much time together as possible.” They added that “they also want to take a trip,” and a flight from LA to Long Island would certainly fit the bill. Lopez first purchased the multi-million 8-bedroom, 7.5-bathroom mansion in 2013, telling Hola! magazine that it’s her “dream home.” The gated property built in 2004 sits on 3 acres of land and features amenities befitting an international superstar, including a sauna, steam room, theater and heated pool.
But since she was there last summer, Lopez’s “dream home” has gotten a new neighbor—her other ex-fiancé, Alex Rodriguez. Page Six also reported that the former MLB player temporarily moved into a $5 million mansion in Bridgehampton for the summer, which is a little more than a mile away—or a three minute drive—from the singer’s place. He’s also already been spotted out and about in the area, grabbing dinner at Le Bilboquet in Sag Harbor with his nephew Nick Silva and “a very attractive brunette” who “turned some heads at the packed restaurant, with some wondering if she was Alex’s new girlfriend.” (It turns out that brunette is actually Liz Cohen, a business development manager at his company, A-Rod Corp.)
