Ben Affleck is reportedly determined to make a clear break from his ex-wife, Jennifer Lopez, by selling the Beverly Hills mansion they once shared. According to recent reports, Ben Affleck selling house after divorce from J.Lo signals his intent to sever their final shared asset following their split earlier this year.
Actor Reportedly Eager for Quick Sale Despite Financial Loss
A source revealed that Affleck, age 52, is ready to accept a significant financial loss on the house he bought with Jennifer Lopez during their marriage. Last year, after the couple ended their relationship, the Beverly Hills property was put up for sale. In pursuit of a swift sale, Affleck slashed the mansion‘s asking price by $8 million, marking it significantly below their purchase price. This decision comes as the house struggles to attract buyers, remaining unsold for several months.
The insider emphasized Ben Affleck’s motivation for pricing the home aggressively, suggesting that the loss “is nothing to Ben.” The source explained that he
“really just wants this to be sold.”

The source continued that the main purpose behind Affleck’s urgency is his desire to move forward and
“cut the final cord that keeps him and Jennifer intertwined.”

Family Ties Remain Despite Property Division
Although Affleck is focused on letting go of the property, sources note that separating from the mansion doesn’t mean a complete break from Lopez. The source shared that Lopez
“will always have a presence in his life”
thanks to their blended families. Jennifer Lopez, age 55, has twins Max and Emme with her former husband Marc Anthony, while Ben Affleck co-parents three children—Violet, Seraphina, and Samuel—with his ex-wife Jennifer Garner. The connection between their kids has reportedly made moving on more complex for the former couple.
The Mansion as a Symbol of Their Marriage
The mansion stands as the final reminder of Affleck and Lopez’s union, with the source stating it is
“the one last thing that is a symbol of their marriage.”

“does not care that he takes a multi-million cut.”

As the house remains on the market, the situation reflects the lingering tensions and desire for a fresh start after a high-profile split. What comes next for Affleck and Lopez will likely continue to draw public attention, as both stars focus on their families and individual futures while letting go of the last physical tie of their relationship.
