Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck made a surprising decision with a shared asset, one year after finalizing their divorce.
The former couple took their $52 million Beverly Hills mansion off the market on January 26.
Lopez and Affleck previously listed the property for $68 million in July 2024.
Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck finalized their divorce last January without a prenuptial agreement, opting to keep their separate earnings from their two-year marriage and waive any spousal support. However, one shared asset remains that’s kept the exes financially tied together a year later: Their luxurious $52 million marital home, which they’ve been trying to sell since they announced their split. However, property records show that Lopez and Affleck kicked off 2026 by making a surprising decision with their 12-bedroom Beverly Hills property.
According to People, Lopez and Affleck have decided to pull the sprawling 38,000-square-foot estate—which they purchased for $60.8 million in 2023—off the market. Property records reveal that the exes removed the listing on Monday, January 26. Lopez and Affleck originally publicly listed the pricey, 24-bathroom home with an asking price of $68 million in July 2024, one month before announcing their breakup. They dropped the price to $60 million last May, and took the property off the market in July when it failed to sell.

Last September, the “On the Floor” singer and Gone Girl alum re-listed the home once again with a major price cut bringing it to $52 million. At the time, sources told People that taking the home off the market was a “decision they made together,” as Lopez and Affleck both wanted to cut their financial losses on the property as much as possible.

“While they’ve been hoping to sell the property, they’ve also been hesitant to take a big loss,” a source told the outlet. “They lowered the price to get more interest, and when this didn’t happen, they were advised to take it off the market. It was a business decision that they made together.”

A real estate insider revealed that the “rough sellers market” was compounded by the home’s multi-million dollar “price point,” limiting potential buyers. The home itself has no shortage of luxury amenities, including a 12-car garage, a sports complex featuring basketball and pickleball courts, a gym, a boxing ring, and a pool. There’s also a 5,000-square-foot guest penthouse, a two-bedroom guardhouse, and a caretaker property on the estate.
