Digs blend ‘cutting-edge technology with timeless elegance’
Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez have officially listed their Beverly Hills mansion amid speculation that the pair is headed for divorce.
After the pad had been on and off the market for five years, Lopez and Affleck scored the place in May 2023 for $60,805,000 — well below its previous owners original $75 million asking price.
The official listing says the home blends “cutting-edge technology with timeless elegance.”
“There’s always going to be people who pretend [to be potential buyers] because they just get a kick out of seeing a house or touring a house, or they want to see a famous person’s house,” he said.
“I assume that the access is going to be extremely limited,” he added. “It’s going to be people that are going to be as pre-qualified and [have] proof of funds as you could ever imagine before they get access to it.”
“Ben never liked the house. It’s too far away from his kids,” said a source close to Lopez, adding that “the house is way too big for her” as well.
Earlier this week, Lopez seemingly addressed the status of her marriage to Affleck by celebrating the anniversary of her breakup song Cambia El Paso on Instagram.
Lopez and Affleck started dating in the early aughts and were engaged in 2002. But the twosome buckled under the constant media attention and called their wedding off in 2004, with each moving on with new partners. Lopez went on to have twins with singer Marc Anthony, while Affleck went on to father three children with actress Jennifer Garner. Both unions ended in divorce.
Twenty years after they first got together, the twosome became husband and wife when they were married in 2022.
“Jennifer’s mom told her, ‘Cut your losses and move on to avoid getting any deeper in this mess,’” a source told the publication. “She told her that she’s wasted years believing that Ben was some kind of knight in shining armor. He was not the person she built him up to be. It’s taken too much of a toll on her and because of this she has lost sight of who she is and what she stands for.”
Despite celebration the Fourth of July apart, the two have been spotted wearing their wedding rings, and a source tells Page Six that Lopez is still “smitten” with her husband. But after the singer cancelled her North American tour, she is spending her summer vacation with family and friends.
“Nothing can break her spirit,” a source said. “She wants to have a summer full of fun and laughter.”
