Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck have quietly taken their lavish $60 million Beverly Hills mansion off the market, raising questions about what may have changed behind the scenes. The move comes months after the couple finalized their divorce in January, signaling that a significant chapter in their relationship has closed.
The 38,000-square-foot estate was as grand as it gets, boasting 12 bedrooms, 24 bathrooms, a full tennis court, a boxing ring, a state-of-the-art gym, a guest penthouse, and a garage large enough to house 12 cars. Designed to host up to 80 people, the mansion was purchased with high hopes, but sources close to the couple now say it became more of a wedge than a sanctuary.
According to insiders, the property never quite felt like home for either star. “The place just didn’t feel right for either of them,” a source revealed. For Ben Affleck, the house felt excessive and was far from his children’s primary residence. “It started to feel like a house they bought for the wrong reasons,” the insider added.
Affleck, known for his preference for low-key, comfortable spaces, reportedly struggled to connect with the mansion’s extravagant aesthetic. Meanwhile, Lopez, a fan of elegance and luxury, had different expectations for their shared home. The difference in their personal styles reportedly created ongoing friction during their time together.
Even as the pair tried to sell the mansion, their differing perspectives continued to play a role. “Jennifer did not want to drop the price anymore, thinking the house was worth what they asked for. But the actor was ready to let it go and move on,” said a source familiar with the matter.
Now, with the house off the market and their marriage officially ended, Lopez has taken a new step forward. The music and film icon recently purchased an $18 million home in Los Angeles, which insiders say better reflects her current lifestyle and mindset.
“She seems happy focusing on where she is now in life,” a friend of Lopez shared. As fans watch from afar, it appears that both stars are choosing different paths, with real estate choices serving as yet another reflection of their evolving lives apart. The once dream home is now a reminder of a relationship that, despite its star power, ultimately couldn’t find peace under one very grand roof.
