Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck make an important decision about the mansion that still unites them.

Jennifer Lopez (55 years old) and Ben Affleck (52 years old) have made the news again, this time not because of rumors of reconciliation or new projects, but because of a decision that puts an end, at least for now, to one of the most publicized chapters of their separation: the sale of their spectacular Beverly Hills mansion.

Nearly a year after the couple announced their split, the residence that was their marital home will remain part of their joint estate. According to People magazine, Lopez and Affleck have decided to take the luxurious property off the market after failing to find a buyer in over a year despite several reductions in the original price.

The home, initially valued at $68 million , had been one of the symbols of the artist and actor's union, which they acquired shortly after saying "I do." After the divorce, they agreed to put it up for sale in June 2024, first discreetly and later through a public offering that also failed to attract any interested parties willing to pay the asking price.

Faced with a lack of compelling offers, the former couple reduced the price to $59.5 million. However, even that reduction wasn't enough to close a deal. According to a source cited by People, "Although they hoped to sell the property, they were also hesitant to take a significant loss. They lowered the price to garner more interest, and when they didn't get it, they were advised to take it off the market. It was a business decision they made together."

A real estate expert consulted by the same outlet explained that the sale of ultra-luxury properties in Los Angeles is going through a difficult time. "The market is tough for sellers, especially at that price point," he noted. "Taking it off the market until a more seller-friendly climate is in place seems like the smartest decision," the specialist added.

Beyond its sentimental value, maintaining the mansion isn't cheap either: according to TMZ, monthly maintenance alone exceeds €264,000, and fire insurance could cost more than €465,000 a year.

The property, located in one of the most exclusive areas of Beverly Hills, is a truly modern palace measuring over 3,500 square meters. It features 12 bedrooms, 24 bathrooms, multiple kitchens, a private cinema, a gym, a beauty salon, a wine cellar, a boxing ring, a guest penthouse, and a garage with space for up to 80 vehicles, surrounded by gardens, an infinity pool, and views of the Los Angeles hills.

For now, the mansion will remain closed and removed from real estate listings . It isn't ruled out that it could be put back on the market when the market is more favorable. Until then, the spectacular residence will remain one of the last remaining assets, at least on paper, that unites one of Hollywood's most high-profile couples.
