Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck have surprised fans by removing their $68 million Beverly Hills mansion from the market. The couple, who divorced earlier this year, had listed the property for sale but suddenly changed their plans. This move has led to speculation that they might be reconciling.
The 12-bedroom, 24-bathroom mansion was purchased in May 2023 for $60.8 million. After their divorce, they struggled to sell it, with no serious offers since early 2025. Sources say Affleck wanted to lower the price, but Lopez refused. Now, taking it off the market has raised eyebrows.
Why the Mansion Was Hard to Sell
The massive Beverly Hills estate sits on five acres and includes a guesthouse, a 12-car garage, and an indoor sports complex. Despite renovations, experts said the $68 million price was too high. High insurance costs, around $500,000 per year, also scared buyers away.
In September 2024, a New Jersey couple offered $64 million, but they backed out due to a family tragedy. Since then, no other buyers have shown serious interest. Real estate agents suggested lowering the price by 15%, but Lopez insisted on holding out.
Signs of a Possible Reconciliation
After their divorce was finalized in January 2025, both moved into separate homes. Affleck bought a $20.5 million bachelor pad, while Lopez settled for an $18 million property outside Los Angeles. However, they have remained friendly, with Affleck even supporting Lopezโs projects.
Recently, they were seen together at family events, including their childrenโs school activities. Their kids have reportedly been pushing for them to reunite. A source said:
“The kids believe they are still in love and want them to stay together. They hope to see them as a family again.”
Financial Disagreements and Real Estate Struggles
During their marriage, Affleck preferred a more modest home, while Lopez wanted luxury. Their mansionโs high maintenance costsโover $1.5 million yearlyโadded stress. Even after their split, they couldnโt agree on selling it.
Affleck wanted a quick sale, but Lopez held firm on the price. Now, pulling it off the market suggests they may have other plans. Some insiders think they might keep it as a shared investment or even live there again.
Whatโs Next for Bennifer?
Neither Lopez nor Affleck has commented on the reunion rumors. However, their recent actions hint at a possible reconciliation. Fans are watching closely, especially after their past on-again, off-again relationship.
