Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez are struggling to sell their sprawling $68 million Beverly Hills mansion after their recent split, encountering several obstacles with potential buyers.
The couple, who have had a tumultuous relationship over the years, are now attempting to part with their 38,000-square-foot home. Despite putting the property on the market, it has proven difficult to finalize a sale. According to TMZ, a couple from New Jersey had expressed interest and were close to purchasing the mansion. However, due to an unexpected death in their family, the potential buyers backed out, leaving the sale unresolved.
Affleck and Lopez first met on the set of Gigli and began dating in 2002. Although they were engaged, they postponed their wedding in 2003 and eventually split in 2004. The couple rekindled their relationship in 2021, marrying in 2022. However, after months of speculation, Lopez officially filed for divorce in August 2024, citing a separation date in April 2024.
Sources indicate that the couple may face financial losses from the sale due to the improvements they made, the Los Angeles mansion tax, and broker fees. Despite this, Beverly Hills real estate expert Josh Flagg told People that the couple’s priority seems to be offloading the property, as they listed it close to what they initially paid for it. Affleck has already purchased a new home, and Lopez is also searching for a new residence, emphasizing their desire to move on from this chapter of their lives.
