Jennifer Lopez reportedly moving to LA where Ben Affleck is based

Los Angeles — Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck are taking a big step in their relationship. According to a source quoted by E! News, Lopez is now “packing up her Miami rental” to officially move to Los Angeles, where Affleck is based. “She will be between L.A. and the Hamptons this summer, but L.A. will be her base,” the source said. “She is looking at schools for her kids in the fall.”

Lopez was photographed recently visiting at least one school in the Los Angeles area. It could be that she is looking for a school for her twins, Emme and Max, in the event of a move to the West Coast, reported Instyle.

“She is excited about a fresh start and pursuing things with Ben,” E!’s source added. “They will be at their L.A. home soon.”

In May,  Lopez and Affleck were seen outside their $18 million (S$23 million) rental home in Miami. According to a source, “She had a big smile on her face and was twirling in a loose summer dress. They spent the day inside together but came out a few times for fresh air and to admire the water view.”

Recently, an insider told Entertainment Tonight that the two are “hopeful” about their relationship this time: “They have both matured and are on the same page and it has been easy.”
