Currently, they are engaged in mediation to resolve asset division.
Jennifer Lopez was seen this week visiting two exquisite properties in Beverly Hills amid her ongoing divorce from Ben Affleck. Speculation around their troubled marriage reached a peak when Jennifer officially filed for divorce on August 20, matching their second wedding anniversary. The couple is still in the process of selling their $68 million marital home, which has been on the market for over a month.
Lopez Explores New Real Estate Opportunities
Amid her evolving personal situation, Lopez, 55, appeared upbeat as she toured the upscale neighborhoods. Sporting her signature large sunglasses and hoop earrings, she donned a stylish outfit comprising a white shirt, denim jacket and jeans, paired with eye-catching nude stilettos. During her visit, Lopez focused on properties that boast spacious tennis courts, covered patios, and luxurious swimming pools.
Details of the Marital Home Sale
The couple's expansive marital residence, known as Crestview Manor, is currently on the market. Initially acquired for $60.85 million last year, they are now asking for $68 million following several enhancements. The estate spread across 38,000 square feet includes 12 bedrooms, 24 bathrooms, a guest penthouse, and various amenities such as a home gym, boxing ring, and even basketball and pickleball courts.
Ben Affleck's New Living Arrangements
Sources reveal that Affleck is gradually transitioning into his new residence, a $20.5 million mansion in Brentwood, which he purchased on July 24, coinciding with Jennifer's birthday. He aims to be closer to his three children with ex-wife Jennifer Garner while amicably co-parenting with her.
Ongoing Divorce Proceedings
As the divorce unfolds, the couple has engaged celebrity divorce attorney Laura Wasser to assist in asset division. With no prenuptial agreement in place, complications regarding financial matters have arisen. Lopez listed their separation date as April 26, 2024, while her divorce filing indicates their assets remain 'unknown.' Under California law, only assets and income acquired during their brief marriage are eligible for division.
Lopez Remains Positive Amidst Challenges
Despite the challenges, sources indicate that Lopez remains optimistic, feeling grateful for her support from family and friends. The couple officially separated on April 26 before Lopez filed for divorce citing 'irreconcilable differences.' Rumors regarding Affleck's alleged new relationships have surfaced, but his representative has denied these claims, stating there is no substance to these reports.
History of Their Relationship
Lopez and Affleck's relationship history dates back to 2001 when they first met on the set of the film Gigli. Although they split days before their planned wedding in 2004, both went on to marry different partners. After ending those marriages, they rekindled their romance in 2021 and were married in Las Vegas in July 2022, followed by a larger celebration in Georgia. Their relationship ultimately faced difficulties, leading to the recent divorce filing.
