Jennifer Lopez acquired in 2023 for around $60 million has taken an unexpected turn following their divorce. More than a year after finalizing their marriage, Affleck has decided to cede his stake in the Beverly Hills property to Lopez, according to court documents cited by TMZ.
This decision implies that the artist and businesswoman assumes full control of the real estate, becoming solely responsible for its future and any economic benefit derived from its eventual sale.
The most striking aspect of the agreement is that Affleck reportedly gave up his share for “free,” without receiving economic compensation in return.
This move reinforces the idea that the actor sought, above all, to cut the last material tie that united him with his ex wife, even if it meant leaving behind an asset of such magnitude. The mansion, with its 12 bedrooms and 24 bathrooms, had become a headache after the separation, remaining on the market for over a year without finding a buyer, recording price cuts and even off market sale attempts.
According to sources cited by Us Weekly and Daily Mail, Affleck and Lopez did not share the same vision regarding the sale. While the actor was in a hurry to get rid of the house and cut ties, Lopez was betting on maintaining the price, believing they could get more money, despite the real estate market not supporting that valuation.
The new agreement completely changes the scenario, granting Lopez a privileged position to decide the future of the property, assuming the associated expenses but also any potential profit
After finalizing their divorce in February 2025, both have rebuilt their lives separately: Affleck acquired a $20 million property in Pacific Palisades in 2024, while Lopez bought a house in Calabasas for $21 million.
Interestingly, the artist reportedly resided in the Beverly Hills mansion while carrying out renovations on her new home, keeping alive the story of this iconic property that she now defends alone
