Jennifer Lopez tours Beverly Hills mansions amid Ben Affleck divorce as they try to offload $68 million marital home

Jennifer Lopez was spotted this week touring two stunning properties in Beverly Hills amid her divorce from Ben Affleck.

The Hollywood couple spent months trailed by feverish speculation that their marriage was on the verge of collapse, culminating in Jennifer finally filing for divorce on their second wedding anniversary, August 20.

They are still trying to offload their $68 million marital home in Beverly Hills, despite putting the mega-mansion on the market over a month ago.

However J.Lo, 55, was evidently already looking ahead at the next addition to her real estate portfolio when she was seen this Wednesday.

She appeared to be in bright spirits, smiling and chatting with a woman who drove her from one upscale address to another.

J.Lo cut a relaxed figure, wearing her hair down and modeling a pair of large sunglasses, as well as her signature hoop earrings.

Her wardrobe for the day included a white-shirt and a double-denim combination of a jacket and jeans, as well as a towering set of nude stilettos.

The Jenny From The Block singer, who has played tennis since her school days in the Bronx, scouted two properties with vast tennis courts in the back.

Both homes also featured covered patios, as well as swimming pools luxuriously equipped with deck chairs along one side.

Meanwhile, Jennifer and Ben are still attempting to sell their sprawling marital home, which is called Crestview Manor, according to its Zillow listing.

They acquired the estate for $60.85 million last year but have made significant upgrades since then and are now asking $68 million.

Crestview Manor includes a 38,000 square foot, 12-bedroom, 24-bathroom main house as well as a 5,000 square foot guest penthouse, plus a two-bedroom guardhouse, a caretaker house and a 12-car garage.

Amenities include a bar, a home gym, a sports lounge, a bar, a boxing ring, basketball and pickleball courts and parking for 80 vehicles.

Ben is now ‘slowly moving into his new home,’ which is ‘where he wants to be: close to his kids and in a neighborhood that he loves,’ a source recently informed People.

He closed escrow on his $20.5M five-bedroom, six-bathroom Brentwood mansion on July 24, which was also Jennifer’s birthday.

The Argo director amicably co-parents his three children – Violet, 18, Fin, 15, and Samuel, 12 – with his first wife Jennifer Garner.

As J.Lo and Ben divide up their assets with the help of celebrity divorce attorney Laura Wasser, a source told People that their ongoing divorce ‘has the potential to get ugly’ since they did not sign a prenuptial agreement.

The source noted that ‘there are some sticking points over financials’ between the couple, who eloped at The Little White Chapel in Las Vegas.

In her divorce filing, Lopez, who listed their separation date as April 26, 2024, wrote that their assets were ‘unknown.’

According to California state law, only the income and assets they earned during their short-lived marriage are ‘considered community property and subject to division.’

This includes the Beverly Hills mansion they purchased for $60.8 million last year and a number of the projects and endorsements they’ve done since tying the knot.

They are currently in mediation which is a less formal, faster alternative to a traditional divorce.

According to Wagner & Bloch’s website, ‘Divorce mediation is an alternative dispute resolution process where a third-party mediator guides a separating couple to resolve issues related to property distribution, child custody, alimony and other divorce matters.’

The pair are asking $68 million for the house they purchased for $60 million in 2023. It boasts 12 bedrooms, 24 baths, a pool, a guest house, a 12 car garage and basketball and pickleball courts, according to the Zillow listing

Amid the divorce, Jennifer also seems to be doing well as a source claimed ‘she still feels very fortunate’ despite ‘some bitterness’ surrounding the split.

‘She tried so hard to make things work and it didn’t matter to Ben. She’s surrounded by family, friends and her kids,’ the insider told People.

Jennifer and Ben legally separated April 26, with the actress then filing for divorce in LA County Superior Court on August 20, citing ‘irreconcilable differences’.

On the heels of the filing, Ben was speculated to be dating RFK Jr.’s daughter, Kick Kennedy, after they were spotted out together in Los Angeles on various outings.

On Wednesday, sources claimed Jennifer was ‘very upset’ with Ben amid rumors that he has been ‘hanging out’ with Kick in recent weeks.

However, Ben’s representative firmly denied the reports, telling People: ‘There is no truth to any of it. I don’t know if they even know each other.’

Jennifer and Ben originally met on the LA set of Martin Brest’s box office bomb Gigli in 2001, but abruptly split just three days before their wedding in 2004.

They both went on to marry other people, with Jennifer exchanging vows with Marc Anthony in 2004, while Ben walked down the aisle with Jennifer Garner in 2005.

As the former couple negotiate the end of their two-year marriage, a source told People that their divorce 'has the potential to get ugly' since they did not sign a prenuptial agreement before eloping at The Little White Chapel in Las Vegas

However, after splitting from their respective partners, they eventually got back together in 2021.

The superstar couple first tied the knot at a chapel in Las Vegas in July 2022, followed by a larger ceremony at his Georgia estate the following month.

The pair then went their separate ways earlier this year, with it being claimed that they had ‘planned’ their divorce before Jennifer’s filing on August 20.
