Incredible: Ben Affleck surprised his former wife Jennifer Lopez with a lavish $60 million mansion as a gift for…Read more

Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck’s home could take “longer” to sell than expected. Jennifer filed for divorce from Ben on August 20 in a Los Angeles County Superior Court.

The singer and actress listed their separation date as April 26, 2024, which happened to be a few months before her and Ben’s second wedding anniversary. She also filed pro per, which means she filed by herself and without an attorney.

Before filing, Ben and Jennifer were seen leaving their Beverly Hills home at different times. They purchased the house together in May 2023 for a reported $60.8 million. They publicly listed the home for sale over year later for $68 million after making renovations.

Selling Sunset star Jason Oppenheim told Realtor.com Monday, October 21, that Jennifer and Ben should not be surprised that a home of such “magnitude” has not been sold.

He said: “It would have been surprising for the house to sell in less than 100 days. Most homes of this magnitude are on the market for six months, and in many cases significantly longer.”

The Hollywood home of the former couple is 38,000-square-feet that includes 12 bedrooms and 24 bathrooms. The outlet also stated that with a separate 5,000-square-foot guest penthouse, caretaker house, two-bedroom guardhouse, 12-car garage and space for 80 cars, the buyer pool for a property of this worth is significantly smaller.

The mansion also included many amenities such as a bar, an at-home gym, a sports lounge, a boxing ring and more. Realtor.com estimates that the monthly costs such as taxes, security, mortgage payments and homeowners association fees could be around $283,666 per month.

It was reported by TMZ that the home received a $64 million offer from a couple from New Jersey. The couple then “pulled out of escrow” due to a death in the family. According to New Ventures Escrow, when a property falls out of escrow, it means “something went wrong with the terms of the purchase contract or some other aspect of the transaction.”

The reports that Ben and Jennifer’s marriage was troubled began when he moved into a $20.5 million house in Pacific Palisades, California.
