Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez appear to be in a disagreement over the home they once shared while married.
“Jennifer thinks they can get more money for the home, so she wants to keep the price as is,” a source exclusively shares with Us Weekly. “But the real estate market is not there and it’s not selling.”
As for Affleck, 52, the insider says he is ready to sell regardless of what the final offer may be.
“Ben wants to get rid of it because their divorce is over and he wants to cut all ties and have it be done,” the source explains. “He just wants it over and to sell it. He wants to reduce the price.”
Ben Affleck Buys $20 Million Home in Los Angeles Without Jennifer Lopez
Lopez and Affleck’s shared Beverly Hills mansion was put on the market in July 2024 for $68 million. The former couple purchased the property for $60 million in June 2023 after tying the knot in July 2022.
At the time, a source said the pair originally thought they could sell it off-market, “but made a game-time decision in order to put more eyes on the property.”
“They are in a rush to sell it,” the source said. “Ben especially wants to be done with the house. He was never happy there. The house is incredibly huge at 38,000 square feet and Ben and Jen never felt settled at the house. They rarely have the kids full time, so it felt huge for the two of them.”
As the property stays on the market, the “On the Floor” singer and actor have been able to finalize their divorce, with a Los Angeles judge signing off on the documents in February.
Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck ‘Planned’ Divorce, ‘Agreed’ to Terms
When Lopez, 55, initially filed for divorce in August 2024 after two years of marriage, she cited irreconcilable differences as the reason behind the split.
Since then, Lopez reportedly purchased a new home near Los Angeles for about $18 million.
Although both parties have tried to keep the reasons behind their split private, Affleck recently cleared up some rumors about what led to their divorce.
In a March interview with GQ, the Oscar winner was asked about why he chose to be involved in Lopez’s 2024 documentary, The Greatest Love Story Never Told. The film was a companion piece to her 2024 visual album, This Is Me … Now, and included scenes where Affleck discussed their relationship.
“Part of it was, ‘OK, if I’m going to participate in this, I want to try to do it in an honest way and in a way that’s interesting,’” he explained. “Because I thought it was an interesting examination.”
Affleck went on to give Lopez credit for being someone who “handled celebrity more adeptly and more adroitly than I have.”
Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez’s Relationship Timeline
“My temperament is to be a little bit more reserved and private than hers,” he admitted. “As happens in relationships, you don’t always have the same attitude towards these things. And so I thought, ‘Oh, this is interesting because how do you reconcile that?’ Because … I love and support this person. I believe in them. They’re great. I want people to see that.”
Later in the interview, Affleck said it was “important to say” that there wasn’t “some major fracture” in his and Lopez’s marriage. In fact, he has “nothing but respect” for his ex today.
