Sale of Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck’s $50 Million Marital Mansion Falls Apart

Jennifer Lopez‘s attempt to finally offload the Beverly Hills mansion she shared with ex-husband Ben Affleck has reportedly suffered a significant setback after a mystery buyer who had entered escrow on the $50 million property allegedly walked away from the deal.

Just days after one of Lopez’s brokers announced that the singer had accepted an offer on the palatial spread, it has now been reported by TMZ that the deal has collapsed, despite the unnamed buyer putting down what is described as a “substantial” deposit on the enormous abode.

“Jennifer Lopez is still searching for a new lover of the mansion she’s been trying to unload for years, because the buyer she had on the line fell through,” the outlet reported.

Realtor.com® has contacted the singer’s spokesperson and listing agent for comment.

The latest setback marks another twist in the home’s long and complicated journey, which began in May 2023, when Lopez, 56, and Affleck, 53, purchased the lavish property for $60.85 million, with the intention of using it as their marital home.

But after little more than a year, the estate was put back on the market, this time for $68 million—just days before the “Jenny From the Block” singer filed for divorce from the “Gone Girl” actor.

Although the former couple finalized their divorce in February 2025, the mansion remained a lingering issue, languishing on the market for months, despite repeated price reductions.

By September 2025, the ask had plummeted to $52 million—before the property was removed from the market altogether in January 2026.

Then, April, reports claimed Affleck had agreed to transfer his share of the home to Lopez, allowing her to oversee the sale of the property on her own. She subsequently relisted the estate in May for $49.99 million—more than $18 million below its original asking price and nearly $11 million less than what the pair had paid for it.

And it initially appeared the dramatic price reduction had paid off when Branden Williams, who co-listed the property with Rayni Williams of The Beverly Hills Estates, told the New York Post on July 13 that the home was in escrow after Lopez accepted an offer.

Now, that deal appears to have unraveled, although it is unclear why the anonymous buyer walked away, and no other details about their identity been revealed.

Williams refused to disclose the identity of the prospective buyer; however, he hinted that they would have been almost as well known to the public as the famous seller, describing him as working “in tech and finance” and noting that “everybody knows his name.”

The listing agent also declined to reveal the offer that was made to his client.

Affleck and Lopez purchased the extraordinary property for $60.9 million in May 2023, less than a year after they wed, and quickly set about renovating the estate, reportedly spending millions to turn it into their dream marital sanctuary.

However, just over a year later, they put the property back on the market with an asking price of $68 million. Soon after, it was revealed that they had officially split.

While they managed to finalize their divorce within 20 weeks of Lopez filing, selling their former marital home would be a much tougher task. By May 2025, the exes had dropped their asking price to $59.95 million, before delisting the home just two months later.

The expansive dwelling reappeared on the market in September for the even lower price of $52 million, only to be delisted in January, when reports surfaced that Lopez was still residing in the home while renovations were completed on her new $18 million property in Hidden Hills.

By April 2026, it was reported that the actor had wiped his hands clean of the headache that was their marital home and given his portion of the property to the singer. At the time, it was assumed by some that Lopez would be making the home her main residence.

Then, in May, the home’s asking price was once again decreased to $49.99 million.

The latest listing comes complete with a brand new set of images that elegantly capture its open floor plan, tennis court, soaring ceilings, and resort-style pool, describing the property as the “ultimate celebrity compound.”

“Set within one of the city’s most secure gated enclaves, this newly rebuilt estate spans five acres on a commanding promontory, opening to sweeping mountain views and complete seclusion,” the description adds.

Interestingly, the latest listing images reveal that many of the living spaces have been cleared of all of Lopez’s belongings—with the enormous walk-in closet seen empty, while many of the personal items that were previously pictured have now been removed.

In April, TMZ reported that Affleck effectively walked away from his interests in the property altogether, with court documents obtained by the outlet indicating that the former spouses have amended their property settlement agreement from the divorce to give Lopez full ownership of the mansion.

While the documents did not include details of the transfer, TMZ alleged that Affleck took no payment from Lopez in return for his share of the home.

“The parties shall be responsible for any taxes arising from the transactions/transfers. The parties agree that the transactions/transfers shall constitute a transfer of property among spouses incident to divorce for federal income tax purposes,” the documents read.

When Lopez and Affleck’s divorce was originally finalized in January 2025, the duo had agreed to split any profits from the sale of their former marital home.

However, they faced a desperate struggle to find a buyer for the lavish dwelling. At the time, Lopez shared several images of herself still residing at the home, despite having purchased another nearby dwelling in Hidden Hills for $17.5 million in February 2025.

In September, the actress and singer sparked speculation that she was angling to hold on to the property when she took to Instagram to share snaps of herself getting ready for different red carpet events inside the enormous abode.

Lopez has not commented on her current living situation. However, one source claimed to the Daily Mail that the singer was making use of the Beverly Hills megamansion while her new abode undergoes renovations.

“Jennifer is staying [at her and Ben’s former home] because she still owns it, so why not? Also, her new house in Hidden Hills is undergoing renovations, so it would not be comfortable to move in yet,” the insider said.

It’s unclear whether the new agreement with Affleck prompted Lopez to put that new home back on the market.

The Hidden Hills property, though luxurious, pales in comparison to the Beverly Hills mansion, offering just five bedrooms and eight bathrooms. It was described in its listing as “exuding sophistication,” offering the perfect mix between “the best of New England charm” and “relaxed California informality.”

Property records reveal that Lopez purchased the 2-acre dwelling through a trust linked to her business manager, having reportedly been searching for her ideal new home since April 2024, when rumors about a rift in her marriage first began to circulate.

The property spans more than 8,600 square feet and is made up of a main residence, guesthouse, pool house, and five-stall barn, complete with a tack room and an equestrian arena.

The main home has five en suite bedrooms, including a “sumptuous master suite,” which boasts dual walk-in closets, a wet bar, a private balcony, and a bathroom worthy of a five-star resort that boasts a steam shower and an enormous bathtub.

The Beverly Hills mansion features a wide range of custom amenities, including an indoor sports complex, complete with basketball and pickleball courts, a fully equipped gym, a boxing ring, a sports lounge, and a bar.

As for its more “traditional” features, the home boasts a staggering 12 bedrooms and 24 bathrooms in 38,000 square feet of living space. The estate sits on a plum 5.2-acre lot in the Beverly Crest community.

The listing describes the abode as a serene spot where “timeless elegance and modern convenience blend seamlessly in the heart of Beverly Hills.”

Affleck has long since moved on from the home, reportedly purchasing a $20.5 million Pacific Palisades bachelor pad in July 2024.
