Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck were reportedly dissatisfied with their $61 million Beverly Hills mansion from the start. They bought the property last year, but it seems it never felt like home.

Recent reports reveal the couple quietly put their marital home on the market last week. Sources suggest that both Lopez, 54, and Affleck, 51, had valid reasons for wanting to sell.

Affleck’s Concerns

Affleck never liked the house, citing its distance from his children as a significant issue. He co-parents three kids with his ex-wife Jennifer Garner, who resides in the Pacific Palisades.

Lopez, who has 16-year-old twins from her marriage to Marc Anthony, finds the 12-bedroom house excessively large. The space feels overwhelming for her and her children.

Separate Living Arrangements

Rumors suggest the couple has been living apart for weeks despite their efforts to find the perfect home together. They had toured over 80 properties before deciding on this mansion.

Affleck and Lopez enlisted Santiago Arana from The Agency to handle the sale of their property. The house has been on the market for about two weeks without finding a buyer.

Price and Financial Loss

The asking price is around $65 million, but they might face a significant financial loss. Despite investing heavily in improvements, selling at a profit seems unlikely.
