Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez may have finalized their divorce in early 2025, but they have remained tied to one another thanks to their sprawling Beverly Hills mansion – which has been struggling to sell for years!

The former couple purchased the ultra-luxurious 38,000-square-foot property back in 2023 for a reported $60,850,000 in cash – a price realtors have since said was way too much! It reportedly features 12 bedrooms and 24 bathrooms, as well as a resort-style pool and high-end amenities designed for ultimate privacy. Despite all of these impressive features, however, it still hasn’t been able to find a buyer!

Ben Affleck Reportedly Gives His Portion Of Unsold Beverly Hills Mansion To Jennifer Lopez

After initially listing the property for $68M, the asking price was eventually slashed to $52M, and had been on and off the market a few times as well.

The Argo actor reportedly became so eager to offload the mansion that he didn't care if it meant taking a multi-million dollar loss, as he was keen to fully move on from his ex. An insider told the Daily Mail at the time: "He really just wants this to be sold so that he can cut the final cord that keeps him and Jennifer intertwined." And now, there have been some very surprising developments…

According to reports, the Gone Girl actor has taken things one step further in order to cut ties – by allegedly giving Lopez his entire share of the house for free. Yes, really!

Per TMZ, the Batman v Superman actor signed over his interest in the property to the Hustlers actress at no cost, with documents citing a "transfer of property among spouses" as part of their divorce settlement agreement. We definitely didn't see that coming!

Internet Reactions

The internet didn't hesitate to weigh in, with many people thinking it was very "telling" that Affleck was willing to give up so much financially just to be free from his ex-wife!

"Nothing says 'you suck and I just want no association with you' than giving up millions to disassociate yourself from someone," slammed one fan on TMZ.

"It's quite telling," thought a second, as a third echoed: "Exactly he just wants nothing more to do with her." "THAT'S how badly he wants her to go away," concurred a fourth.

"He's desperate to get rid of her completely. I hope he starts dating soon. The world would love to see him and Garner (the mother of his biological children) reunite," wrote a fifth, although a sixth didn't think that was the best idea for the 13 Going on 30 actress, adding: "Jennifer Garner deserves better."
