Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck have officially listed their Beverly Hills mansion for a staggering $68 million, amid swirling rumors of a potential split. The couple, who recently spent the 4th of July holiday apart, have put their six-acre estate on the market, just a year after purchasing it in cash. The property, which has been renovated to the highest standards over the past four months, boasts 12 bedrooms and 24 bathrooms, along with a plethora of luxury amenities.
The mansion features a sports lounge, gym, boxing ring, pickleball and basketball courts, and even a built-in elevator. Perched atop a five-acre promontory, the estate offers breathtaking views of the surrounding mountains, providing a serene backdrop for its unparalleled amenities. The listing, managed by Santiago Arana of The Agency, emphasizes the privacy and security of the property, which is situated behind double gates.
Affleck and Lopez, whose second wedding anniversary is approaching, bought the 38,000-square-foot home last year after an extensive search for a new residence for their blended family. The couple wed in Las Vegas nearly two years ago, rekindling their romance after calling off their first engagement two decades earlier. The home, originally listed for $135 million in 2018, saw its price drop over the years before Ben and Jen made their offer.
Recently, Lopez shared the music video for her 2021 song “Cambia El Paso” on Instagram, a track about making life changes. The song’s lyrics, which include lines like “He doesn’t deserve to have her in his arms” and “Her life is better now without him,” have fueled speculation about the couple’s relationship status. Lopez’s post, celebrating the song’s anniversary, added to the rumors of a potential split.
The couple’s decision to list their home comes amid reports that they have been living separately. Lopez celebrated the 4th of July in the Hamptons, while Affleck stayed in Los Angeles. A source confirmed that the couple has been trying to be as amicable as possible during this challenging time, focusing on the well-being of their children and families.
Their blended family includes Lopez’s 16-year-old twins, Emme and Max, from her previous marriage to Marc Anthony, and Affleck’s three children, Violet, 18, Seraphina, 15, and Samuel, 12, from his marriage to Jennifer Garner. The couple’s relationship has been under intense scrutiny, with fans and critics closely watching for signs of trouble, including whether they are wearing their wedding rings.
Affleck has reportedly been living in a $100,000-per-month rental home near his ex-wife Jennifer Garner, while Lopez has been spending time in Europe and the Hamptons. Sources indicate that neither Affleck nor Lopez wanted to keep their Beverly Hills home for different reasons. Affleck found the house too far from his children, while Lopez felt it was too large.
The couple’s children have been working behind the scenes to help their parents reconcile. They believe that Lopez and Affleck are deeply in love and do not want them to divorce. The kids have been encouraging their parents to continue counseling and communication, hoping for a peaceful resolution.
Despite the rumors and their separate living arrangements, both Lopez and Affleck have been seen wearing their wedding rings. There was speculation that a divorce announcement would come over the 4th of July weekend, but it never materialized. Friends and insiders remain uncertain about the couple’s future, with some holding out hope for a reconciliation.
Affleck’s ex-wife, Jennifer Garner, is reportedly supportive of whatever is best for the children. She has always prioritized their well-being and is open to the idea of Lopez and Affleck getting back together if it is what the kids want.
Us Weekly recently reported that there is a “sliver of hope” for the couple, with Lopez suggesting they take time to figure things out. The couple has not yet made a final decision regarding their relationship, as they navigate their individual and shared challenges.
As the couple’s massive Beverly Hills mansion hits the market, fans and observers continue to speculate about the future of Bennifer 2.0. Whether they will reconcile or go their separate ways remains to be seen, but for now, their luxurious home is up for grabs at a cool $68 million.
