Jennifer Lopez Continues Living in $68M Bel-Air Mansion Amidst Stalled Sale

Jennifer Lopez continues to reside in the $68 million Bel-Air mansion she once shared with Ben Affleck, despite having purchased a new $17.5 million home in Hidden Hills that is currently undergoing renovations. The couple originally bought the Bel-Air estate for about $60.85 million in 2023 and listed it for sale in July 2024 with an asking price of $68 million, which has since been reduced but failed to attract buyers. Affleck is eager to sell quickly and willing to lower the price further, while Lopez prefers to hold firm on the current valuation, believing the property can fetch more. The mansion, featuring 12 bedrooms and 24 bathrooms, remains on and off the market with experts suggesting a price drop of at least 15% to find a buyer. Insurance costs for the estate have also risen significantly due to recent California wildfires, adding to the challenges of selling the property. Their divorce was finalized in January 2025, with an agreement to split any profits from the sale, but the home sale remains unresolved as Lopez stays in the house for convenience and comfort during her new home's renovations.
