Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck have decided to take their $86 million Beverly Hills home off the market, ending the recent effort to sell the property. The former couple, who divorced in January 2025 after two years of marriage and previously dated in the early 2000s, removed the 12-bedroom mansion from online listings, according to reports by TMZ. This development marks a pause in what has been a tense and complicated Ben Affleck home sale process.
Price Cuts and Financial Details Behind the Sale
The pair originally purchased the mansion for $60.85 million in May 2023. They attempted to sell the lavish 24-bathroom estate for $68 million but lowered the asking price by $16 million in September in hopes of attracting buyers at $52 million. Sources previously disclosed that Ben Affleck wanted to reduce the price further while Jennifer Lopez preferred to maintain the original $68 million figure. Alongside this, the exes reportedly took out a $20 million mortgage on the estate.
Living Arrangements Amidst Property Transition
While Jennifer Lopez has acquired a new home in Hidden Hills, California, she continues to reside in the Beverly Hills mansion while her new residence undergoes renovations. Meanwhile, Ben Affleck, who paid $20.5 million for a property in Brentwood, also purchased another home last year, signaling ongoing changes in their living situations.

In the midst of these real estate changes, Jennifer Lopez has opened up about her views on love during her recent “Up All Night” show in Las Vegas. Performing her 1999 hit “If You Had My Love” at The Colosseum at Caesars Palace, she shared with the audience how the song has evolved in meaning for her over time.
