Ben Affleck has reportedly given Jennifer Lopez his share of their Beverly Hills mansion, according to a TMZ report cited on Friday. The move comes after months of difficulty selling the property and appears to close another financial chapter from their split.
Court documents obtained by TMZ reportedly show that the former couple updated their property settlement with a “transfer of property among spouses.” Sources with direct knowledge of the deal told the outlet that Affleck gave up his entire interest in the home for free.
Property tied to a high-profile split
The Beverly Hills estate sits at the center of one of Hollywood’s most watched post-divorce asset divisions. The 38,000-square-foot mansion has 12 bedrooms, 24 bathrooms, and a selling history that has drawn close attention because of its size and price.
Affleck and Lopez reportedly bought the home for $60.85 million, making it one of the largest shared assets involved in their separation. The property was listed at $68 million in July, shortly before Lopez filed for divorce, but the couple later pulled it from the market after it failed to attract a buyer.
Sale attempts and price cuts
The pair reportedly tried for about a year and a half to sell the residence at the original asking price. In September, they reduced the price by $16 million, but the home still remained difficult to move.
That challenge appears to have pushed the former spouses toward a different approach. TMZ reported that Lopez has been living in the Beverly Hills house while she works on renovations at another property she recently bought, which adds another layer to the timing of the transfer.
Key details from the reported property deal
- The mansion was originally listed at $68 million.
- Affleck and Lopez reportedly paid $60.85 million for the home.
- The estate includes 12 bedrooms and 24 bathrooms.
- TMZ said Affleck transferred his interest to Lopez for no payment.
- The property was taken off the market after slow sales interest.
The reported transfer also follows a broader pattern in the former couple’s separation, which became public after Lopez filed for divorce and the pair finalized the split early last year. Their relationship has drawn steady attention because it began in the early 2000s, ended, and then resumed nearly two decades later.
Affleck and Lopez first dated from 2002 to 2004, and their reunion led to a second engagement in April 2022. They married in a spontaneous Las Vegas ceremony in July 2022 before holding a family celebration the following month, only for the relationship to end again with the divorce filing in August 2024.
Lopez recently hinted at the awkwardness of the breakup during a Las Vegas residency show, when she brought a fan named Ben onstage and responded with “Ugh!” after hearing his name. That moment added another public reminder that the split continues to shape headlines around the former couple’s personal and financial lives.
