Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck’s grand mansion is making headlines again after her divorce filing.
Sources say the extravagant home was really a big sacrifice for Lopez, who wasn’t fond of its style but went along because Affleck was thrilled about how it could be a good place for all their families to hang out together.
“The $68 million house was Ben’s idea,” an insider shared, “and she accepted it because it had lots of room for everyone, a gym, a pickleball court, office space, and even two private entrances.”
The mansion had 12 bedrooms and 24 bathrooms and stretched over 38,000 square feet but had a modern look that Lopez didn’t really like.
“She prefers something more romantic with a Spanish or European feel,” the source added.
Sometimes we make big sacrifices for the people we love.

Contrary to what some might think, another source said that Ben wasn’t completely in love with the house either. He found its location frustrating because it was far from his kids. When he rented a place last summer in Brentwood, he liked being closer to them much better.
“Ben’s life is in Brentwood,” the source noted. “His kids are there and dealing with traffic from that house was tough for him. He never liked it.”
Recently, Affleck bought himself another home for $20.5 million. Meanwhile, Lopez has been on the hunt for her new place since April but hasn’t found one just yet.
“Jen is being shown houses,” another insider shared but mentioned she’s still searching for the perfect one. 🏡
