Ben Affleck, J.Lo slash asking price of Beverly Hills home to less than they paid for it
Published in Entertainment News
After nearly a year of trying to unload their marital mansion in Beverly Hills, Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez have finally slashed the asking price, despite J.Lo reportedly not wanting to do so.
But sprawling estates still cost a thing, as TMZ reports the newly divorced A-listers reduced the price from $68 million to just under $60 million — slightly less than they paid for it in 2023.
Insiders with direct knowledge told the outlet that the “Gone Girl” star, 52, was the one pushing for the reduction. It’s unclear what exactly led Lopez, 55, to agree.
Realtors told TMZ that the value of the 38,000-square-foot property has suffered in part due to an uptick in insurance costs, with anyone who buys the mansion being required to put up around $500,000 a year for insurance alone.
Affleck and Lopez purchased the property in May 2023 for just under $61 million, only for them to put it back on the market just over a year later — fueling divorce rumors that were already swirling at the time.
After tying the knot in two separate ceremonies in the summer of 2022, Lopez filed for divorce last August, on the second anniversary of their second wedding. The pair reached a settlement in January, which included no spousal support from either party.
Despite remaining mum on the split for months, they two have recently become more open about the end of the marriage, or at least how they’re coping with it.
Affleck insists the divorce was “drama-free” and there was “no scandal, no soap opera, no intrigue.” Lopez, meanwhile, says she has never felt so “free” and that she’s “come out the other side stronger and better.”
