Jennifer Lopez remains saddled with the $61 million Los Angeles mansion she and Ben Affleck acquired as their marital home. Lopez, 56, and Affleck, 53, started trying to sell the house in June 2024, two months before she filed for divorce on their second wedding anniversary. They have been struggling in vain to find a buyer, and Affleck ultimately gave up his entire stake in the property this April, turning his interest over to Lopez. Now insiders have revealed that Lopez found a potential buyer who paid a 'substantial' deposit, only to then withdraw from the deal on Tuesday, via TMZ. Located in the luxurious Beverly Crest area on the Westside of Los Angeles, the sprawling 46,000 sq ft estate has 12 bedrooms and 24 bathrooms. The Daily Mail has contacted a representative for Lopez for comment.

Affleck and Lopez took the estate off the market in January, three months before it emerged he had relinquished his share in the house. They acquired the property in 2023, months after they tied the knot in August 2022 in the throes of a rekindled romance with its roots in the early 2000s. By June 2024, when they began trying to sell, Affleck and Lopez were in the eye of a cyclone of rumors that their marriage was skidding towards implosion. In the month of the divorce filing, Affleck acquired a $20 million bachelor pad in the Pacific Palisades and promptly decamped to the spread.

The house happened to be blocks from the residence of his first ex-wife Jennifer Garner, with whom he co-parents his children Violet, 20, Fin, 17, and Samuel, 14. Meanwhile, after her divorce from Affleck was finalized in February 2025, Lopez bought a $21 million residence in the Kardashian enclave of Calabasas. However she reportedly kept living in the Beverly Crest mansion she had shared with Affleck and also undertook an extensive remodel. 'Jennifer is renovating the home to her satisfaction,' a source exclusively informed the Daily Mail last year. 'She is spending a lot of money because it's big: there is the main house, the pool house and a guest house.'

When Lopez and Affleck first listed their property amid the disintegration of their marriage, they set a staggering asking price of $68 million. There followed a failed escrow, and then a year in which they were unable to secure another buyer, after which they took the house off the market last July. Although they put the house back up for sale that September, this time marked down to $52 million, they delisted it once again in January.
