It’s not that easy to let go of the past, it seems. Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez may have separated but are struggling to let go of their Beverly Hills mansion. According to reports, the mansion has been on the market for a while now but has not found any takers. 

The couple parted ways officially in August and put their humongous 38,000-square-foot home on the market in July but the mansion is still not sold.  

Lopez and Affleck first met while filming Gigli and began dating shortly after in 2002. The couple announced their engagement in 2003 but broke up in 2004.

Nearly two decades later, the two rekindled their romance in 2021 and married in 2022 in a lavish ceremony.

Rumours of their separation started doing the rounds early this year. TMZ reported that Lopez filed for divorce on August 20, 2024, with the official separation date listed as April 26, 2024.

According to a report in TMZ, “A couple from New Jersey fell in love with their 38,000 square foot Beverly Hills area home,” and it appeared that Lopez and Affleck were finally about to part with the property. The buyers backed out due to a death in their family, even though they were interested. 

The couple will probably lose money on the sale due to several factors, including improvements they made to the home, the Los Angeles mansion tax, and their broker’s fee. Meanwhile, Affleck has already purchased a new home, and Lopez is looking for a new place as well.

Financial loss is not the couple’s main concern, reported People. A Beverly Hills luxury real estate agent Josh Flagg told the website, “Since Lopez and Affleck listed the home relatively close to what they paid for it, it’s clear that they really want to move the property.”

“Generally, people do not sell their primary residence a year after they buy it unless there is a divorce, a death, or some kind of desperation. I’m also going to take (a guess) that they’re not going to walk out of this making money. They’re going to either break even or take a small loss.”
