Jennifer Lopez ‘compromised’ for Ben Affleck’s ‘idea’ of Beverly Hills mansion

Jennifer Lopez only “agreed” to buy the Beverly Hills mansion with Ben Affleck only because of the commodities the property offered, and not on the basis of any emotions.

“The $68 million mansion was Ben’s idea and a major compromise for her,” a source told People about the estranged couple's marital home, which they bought reportedly for a $60.8 million in May 2023 and already listed it for sale publicly just after a year later, in July 2024, for about 6 million more.

“She agreed to it because of its spacious layout, accommodating both their families, a gym and a pickleball court, office space, plus it has two private entrances,” the insider adds.

The source also described that although she agreed with the residence, she doesn’t prefer the ultra-modern lifestyle and added, “She loves the romantic, Spanish, European vibe.”

Another source came forward with reports contrary to the ones prior and stated how the residence was a non-convenient location for the actor.

“His life’s in Brentwood. His kids live there,” the insider told the outlet. “It was such a pain and time consuming for Ben to navigate traffic from their house. He never liked it.”
