Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck, the iconic Hollywood power couple, have made a surprising decision to part ways with their lavish Beverly Hills mansion. According to a source who spoke to PEOPLE, the pair are listing their shared home, which they acquired after their marriage in June 2023. TMZ was the first to break the news of their intention to sell the property.
This latest development comes amidst a whirlwind of events in the couple’s lives. Just days ago, Lopez announced the cancellation of her highly anticipated “This Is Me… Live” tour, citing a need to take time off to be with her children, family, and close friends, as stated on her OntheJLo website.
United Front at Graduation
Prior to the tour cancellation, Lopez and Affleck were spotted putting on a united front as they attended Affleck’s daughter Violet’s graduation ceremony. The couple was photographed holding hands and supporting the 18-year-old during this milestone event, seemingly unfazed by the swirling rumors surrounding their relationship.
However, the following day, Lopez was seen arriving solo at Giorgio Baldi in Los Angeles, still wearing her wedding and engagement rings, fueling speculation about potential strain in their marriage.
Opulent Beverly Hills Estate
According to the Wall Street Journal, the couple purchased the $61-million-dollar mansion they are now planning to sell in the spring of 2023. The sprawling 38,000 square-foot home sits on five acres of land and boasts an impressive array of amenities, including 12 bedrooms, 24 bathrooms, a 12-car garage, a pool, a sports complex with basketball and pickleball facilities, a gym, and a boxing ring.
Interestingly, sources have revealed that while Lopez resides in the Beverly Hills mansion, Affleck has been staying at a rental home a few miles away as he films his upcoming movie, “The Accountant 2.”
Uncertain Future
As the couple navigates these changes, their future remains uncertain. While the decision to sell their shared home may raise eyebrows, it could also be a strategic move or simply a desire for a fresh start. Regardless of the reasons, the world will be watching with bated breath to see how this chapter unfolds for the beloved pair.
