“Jen and Ben are excited to further solidify their relationship and take this next step,” the source said. “At this point, they know they are meant to be together and they are prepared to elevate their relationship in this way and include their families in the process and bring everyone together as a healthy unit.”

The source said that Bennifer spend the bulk of their free nights together anyway. “They spend every night together when they can, and having this home will make that easier,” the source said. “It’s the next step in their relationship and since they are both in it for the long run, they can't wait to have a home together.”

“They are looking forward to making the home their own and having a place together,” the source continued. “They are also planning to decorate it together and any renovations that they choose to do will be theirs together. Jen is definitely taking the lead on the home decor, but they want to implement both of their styles so everyone feels comfortable moving into the house and this new chapter in all of their lives.”

Lopez spoke to Rolling Stonein February about why she doesn't believe her rekindled romance with Affleck will end, nearly a year into being back together. “I don’t think we would have got back together if we thought that was where it was headed,” she said. “We feel like what we found again is so much more important, and how we protect that and how we live our lives—what to share, what not to share—is the balance that we have now, the benefit of experience and the wisdom that we gained over the years.”
