Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez's Rush to Sell Mansion Amid Marital Woes Sparks Speculation
Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez seem to be in a rush to part ways with their Beverly Hills mansion, adding fuel to the ongoing speculation about the state of their marriage.
The celebrity couple, who have been under the spotlight for weeks due to divorce rumors, are reportedly eager to sell their lavish property as quickly as possible.
According to a source close to the couple speaking to Us Weekly, the decision to list the mansion publicly was made recently, indicating a sense of urgency in their desire to move on. The insider revealed, "They are in a rush to sell it. Ben especially wants to be done with the house. He was never happy there."
Reports initially surfaced in June that Affleck, 51, and Lopez, 54, were planning to sell their home off-market. However, a shift in strategy to attract more potential buyers led them to opt for a public listing.
The source further disclosed that the couple never truly felt settled in the expansive 38,000-square-foot mansion. With their busy schedules and blended family dynamics, the house often felt too large and unwelcoming for the pair.
Insights from People magazine shed light on Affleck's concerns about the mansion's distance from his children, while Lopez reportedly found the residence to be excessively spacious for their needs.
Together, the duo shares five children, with Lopez having 16-year-old twins Max and Emme from her previous marriage to Marc Anthony, and Affleck being a father to daughters Violet, 18, and Seraphina, 15, and son Samuel, 12, from his former relationship with Jennifer Garner.
The Hollywood power couple acquired the 12-bedroom, 24-bathroom mansion in June 2023 for a staggering $60.85 million after an extensive search for their dream home.
The decision to purchase the property came shortly after their surprise rekindling and subsequent elopement in Las Vegas, marking a significant milestone in their tumultuous relationship.
Despite Lopez's initial sentiments about love and patience, recent reports suggest that she may have reached her breaking point in the marriage. An industry insider hinted at her growing dissatisfaction, stating, "Jenny has had enough and she really tried but she can do no more."
Similarly, sources close to Affleck hinted at his disillusionment with the relationship, with one individual claiming he would consider divorcing on grounds of temporary insanity if possible. The insider added, "He feels like the last two years were just a fever dream, and heβs come to his senses now."
As the saga of Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez's shared mansion unfolds, fans and onlookers are left speculating about the future of their relationship and the implications of their real estate decisions.
