Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck face setback in sale of $68M marital mansion amid ongoing divorce

Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck have hit another snag in the sale of the marital mansion.

While the divorcing duo recently received and accepted a $64 million offer for their home, according to TMZ, the potential buyers from New Jersey pulled out of escrow following a death in their family.

Despite the recent tragedy, the outlet reports the mystery couple is still interested in buying the home.

Though, at $64 million, Affleck and Lopez will still be in the red after considering the steep 5.25% mansion tax, realtor fees and the millions they spent in renovations on the property.

They originally bought the house for $60.8 million — all cash — in 2023.

Lopez and Affleck first listed their Beverly Hills, Calif. mansion for sale for $68 million in July after they attempted to quietly sell it off-market.

The five-acre property also features a separate 5,000-square-foot guest penthouse, a caretaker house, a two-bedroom guardhouse, a spacious 12-car garage and parking for 80 vehicles.

As for at-home recreation, the mansion includes a fully equipped gym, a boxing ring, a sports lounge, a bar and basketball and pickleball courts.

Earlier this month, a source told People the “Atlas” star was never a fan of the expansive pad, saying the home was originally Ben’s idea and was a “major compromise” for her.

“She agreed to it because of its spacious layout, accommodating both their families, a gym and a pickleball court, office space, plus it has two private entrances.”

The insider added that the “On the Floor” singer wasn’t interested in the house’s modern vibe.

She’s allegedly into “the romantic, Spanish, European vibe.”

Affleck moved out of their marital home over the summer and rented a home in Brentwood, Calif., to be close to his children.

Amid their split, he purchased a $20.5 million Pacific Palisades mansion in July, while the singer has been on the search for her next home.

She was last seen touring a $22 million bachelorette pad in Beverly Hills, Calif., last month.
