Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck Face New Hurdles in Beverly Hills Mansion Sale Amidst Divorce Proceedings
Ben AffleckIn a dramatic turn of events, Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck have encountered unexpected challenges surrounding the sale of their former marital home, hitting a significant hurdle amidst ongoing divorce proceedings. The high-profile couple, currently in the throes of mediation, had accepted a promising $64 million offer for the luxurious Beverly Hills estate from a couple based in New Jersey. However, the potential buyers have recently pulled out of escrow due to a tragic death in their family, according to reports by TMZ.
The sprawling 38,000-square-foot property, initially bought by Lopez and Affleck in May 2023 for $60.8 million, was relisted for a hefty $68 million. While insiders suggest the New Jersey couple remains interested in the estate, the sale has been compromised, necessitating a reassessment of the high-stakes transaction. The property, a significant asset amidst an ongoing complex division of their $550 million in collective wealth, is not only a financial burden but also a source of emotional strain for both parties.
The mansion features opulent amenities that include 12 bedrooms, 24 bathrooms, a fully equipped gym, a sports lounge, boxing ring, and courts for pickleball and basketball. Despite these lavish offerings, the mansion was reportedly more to Affleck’s taste than Lopez’s, who purportedly favored a more traditional, romantic style over the modern design of the estate.
The sale of the mansion marks a pivotal point in Lopez and Affleck's divorce, which is being mediated with the help of high-profile lawyer Laura Wasser. The legal separation date was noted as April 26, with Lopez officially filing for divorce in August citing “irreconcilable differences.” Despite the setback, both Lopez and Affleck are working toward a resolution, amidst reports of their differing preferences and the logistical challenges of asset division.
