Beverly Hills Bust: Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez's $60M Mansion Fails to Sell

BEN AFFLECK AND JENNIFER LOPEZ'S BEVERLY HILLS MANSION NIGHTMARE: COUPLE ABANDONS PLAN TO SELL THEIR $68 MILLION PROPERTY AFTER ONE YEAR ON THE MARKET

The drama never ends for Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez, the power couple who can't seem to shake off their on-again, off-again relationship. The latest twist in their saga is that they've given up on trying to sell their opulent Beverly Hills marital mansion, which has been on the market for a whopping year.

Sources close to the couple have revealed that the Argo director and the singer's decision to abandon ship is largely due to Ben's desire to break free from the last remaining ties of their marriage. "Ben wants to cut the final cord," an insider spilled to The Scholarly Note.com. "He never wanted to shell out that much money for this house in the first place, and now it's a constant reminder of their failed union."

The couple purchased the stunning estate in cash for $60.8 million just one year into their relationship, but their marriage was short-lived, as they broke up soon after. Undeterred, they put the property on the market for a staggering $68 million in July 2024. However, their efforts to offload it were unsuccessful, prompting them to slash the price by a whopping $8 million.

The mansion, which boasts an array of luxurious features, including a boxing ring and sports lounge, fully equipped gym, basketball and pickleball courts, and a bar, was supposed to be the epitome of luxury living. But for Ben, it's become a symbol of their failed marriage. "He knows Jennifer will always have a presence in his life with their kids remaining best friends," the insider continued, "but this house is the last thing that keeps them tied together."

Meanwhile, Ben has been busy house-hunting for bachelor pads in the Brentwood neighborhood, not far from his ex-wife Jennifer Garner's $7.8 million four-bedroom home. It seems he's eager to start fresh and leave the memories of his marriage to JLo behind.

But what about JLo? The singer has been keeping herself occupied by renovating her new $17.5 million five-bedroom Hidden Hills mansion, which suggests she's moving on from the failed marriage.

The couple's decision to abandon their plans to sell the Beverly Hills estate is a clear indication that they're ready to move on and put this chapter of their lives behind them. But for Ben, it seems that getting rid of the last remaining tie to his ex-wife is essential in starting anew. As the insider aptly put it, "Ben really just wants this to be sold so that he can finally break free from Jennifer's grasp."

The drama surrounding Ben and JLo's relationship has been making headlines for months now, but it seems they're ready to move on and focus on their individual lives. Whether or not they'll ever get back together remains to be seen, but one thing is certain – the Beverly Hills mansion is no longer a part of their lives.
