Jennifer Lopez, Ben Affleck settle rift over sale of $68m mansion

Hollywood superstars Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck have settled their spat over the sale of their $68 million property.

The pair had reportedly made a substantial cut to the listing price for their Bel Air, California mansion.

The $8 million cut affected the estranged couple’s finances, as they purchased the enormous house for $60,850,000 in May 2023, according to a TMZ article published on Thursday.

Before settling their rift, Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez appear to disagree on what actions to be taken to sell their $68 million Beverly Hills property, which was listed about a year ago.

Despite the lack of interest in the house, sources said that Affleck is keen to reduce the price while Lopez is not prepared to do so.

Because they have invested in special design work and see the house as their long-term family base, insiders said Lopez wants to maintain it.

On the other side, Ben is reportedly willing to sell, perhaps because he feels that the property doesn’t suit his comfort or taste.

In May 2023, the former celebrity couple, whose divorce was formally finalized in January, paid the princely sum of $60.8 million in cash to acquire the sprawling mansion.
