After obtaining their divorce earlier this year,
Jennifer Lopez and
Ben Affleck shocked many by removing their USD 68 million Beverly Hills mansion from the market. Despite ending their marriage, the ex-couple, who were married in 2022, made the decision to make this joint financial decision.
Choosing to remove the listing for the Beverly Hills mansion
Only a few weeks prior to Lopez's August divorce filing from Affleck, the Beverly Hills estate was first listed in July 2024. The 'Argo' actor and 'On the Floor' singer were keen to sell the 12-bedroom, 24-bathroom home, but they were unable to find a buyer, according to PEOPLE.
On Wednesday, July 2, PEOPLE stated, “While they’ve been hoping to sell the property, they’ve also been hesitant to take a big loss.” “They lowered the price to get more interest, and when this didn’t happen, they were advised to take it off the market. It was a business decision that they made together." Mentions the report.
This explains why they held off on selling
The real estate transaction involving Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck occurs during a "rough seller's market." Before formally removing the property from the market, the couple reduced the asking price by USD 8.5 million, from USD 68 million to USD 59.5 million.
As per PEOPLE, "It's a rough seller's market, especially for that price point." “Taking it off the market until it’s more of a seller-friendly climate seems like the smartest decision.”
In May 2023, Lopez and Affleck paid USD 60.8 million for the huge 38,000-square-foot house. The estate includes a caretaker house, a guardhouse with two bedrooms, a 5,000-square-foot guest penthouse, and a 12-car garage. A sports lounge, bar, and fully equipped gym are additional upscale features.
Where do Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez currently reside?
Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez have each moved into new residences since their divorce. In March, Lopez purchased a house in Los Angeles for USD 18 million. In order to be near his children, Violet, Seraphina, and Samuel, whom he shares with his ex-wife Jennifer Garner, Affleck bought a USD 20.5 million mansion in the Pacific Palisades last July.
Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez separated discretely in April 2024, and their divorce was finalized in January 2025. The ex-partners are still working together to make significant financial decisions almost a year after filing.
