Ben and J.Lo Hit Snag in $64 Million Mansion Sale During Divorce Talks

The attempt to sell the Beverly Hills mansion owned by Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez has encountered a major hurdle.

What’s causing the sale delay for Affleck and Lopez?

The couple had received a $64 million bid for their impressive 38,000-square-foot home from eager buyers.

Unfortunately, the sale was unexpectedly halted as the buyers had to back out due to a personal tragedy they were facing.

Despite the setback, the couple remains interested in selling their home, which was initially listed for $68 million back in July.

The luxurious estate, named Crestview Manor, is known for its opulent amenities and vast size.

Affleck and Lopez bought the property for $60.8 million in May 2023 and spent millions on renovations before putting it on the market.

This Beverly Hills residence features 12 bedrooms, 24 bathrooms, and a variety of extravagant amenities, such as an indoor sports area, a home gym, and courts for both basketball and pickleball.

Additional facilities include a guest suite, a caretaker’s house, a garage accommodating 12 cars, and parking space for up to 80 vehicles.

Even with its scale and luxury, the property’s location has raised concerns for the former couple.

Affleck’s dissatisfaction with the location

Despite the mansion’s elegance, sources suggest that Affleck and Lopez didn’t fully agree on the home purchase.

Lopez reportedly made concessions that were more in line with Affleck’s desire for a spacious and practical living space.

A source revealed that while Lopez’s taste leans towards a more romantic, European aesthetic, the design of Crestview Manor is distinctly modern.

Affleck has expressed frustration with the house’s location, pointing out issues like heavy traffic and its distance from where his kids live in Brentwood.

These developments regarding the buyers pulling out occur amidst the couple’s ongoing divorce negotiations.

The high-profile duo, married in 2022, is currently mediating the division of their assets, including the Beverly Hills property.

Reports indicate that they did not formalize a prenuptial agreement, complicating their financial discussions.
