Why Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck are Deciding to Sell Their $60M Marital Home Amid Divorce Speculations
Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck have reportedly made a joint decision to sell their $60 million marital home in Beverly Hills, California, amidst swirling divorce rumors. According to recent reports, the couple has expressed dissatisfaction with the 38,000-square-foot mansion for quite some time.
A source close to the couple revealed that Ben Affleck, in particular, never felt quite at home in the expansive property, citing its distance from his children as a significant factor. The insider shared, "Ben never liked the house. It's too far away from his kids." On the other hand, Jennifer Lopez is said to feel that the mansion is simply "too big for her," indicating a mismatch between the property and her personal preferences.
The Hollywood power couple, who acquired the lavish estate in May 2023 to accommodate their blended family, includes Affleck's children with ex-wife Jennifer Garner β Violet, Seraphina, and Samuel β and Lopez's twins with former husband Marc Anthony β Max and Emme.
Recent reports have surfaced suggesting that Lopez and Affleck have listed their 12-bedroom, 24-bathroom mansion for sale. While neither party has officially commented on the matter, speculation arose following the emergence of new interior photos on real estate platform Zillow.
Currently, Jennifer Lopez resides in the Beverly Hills home, while Ben Affleck has opted for a temporary rental arrangement amidst the challenges in their relationship. Despite their reported marital woes, sources indicate that the couple remains amicable, frequently spending time together and maintaining a friendly dynamic.
The duo, who first sparked rumors of a split in May, have navigated through ups and downs in their relationship. An insider previously shared that Affleck has come to terms with the reality that their union may not be sustainable, describing their time together as a "fever dream."
During a recent press tour for her film "Atlas," Jennifer Lopez shut down inquiries about the status of her relationship with Affleck, emphasizing privacy amidst the public scrutiny. Despite the challenges, the couple has showcased unity at various events, with Affleck recently visiting their marital home for an extended period.
The love story between the "Jersey Girl" co-stars has been marked by a history of engagement, separation, and eventual rekindling. After a whirlwind romance that led to their marriage in 2022, Lopez and Affleck continue to navigate the complexities of their high-profile relationship.
