Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez are reportedly at odds over a post-divorce decision, with sources pointing to growing tension between the former couple. According to TMZ, the disagreement has created a stalemate, though the exact terms remain private.

At the center of the issue is their Beverly Hills estate, which the two listed for $68 million in July 2024. The property has seen limited interest so far in 2025, and real estate agents familiar with the market told TMZ that the asking price is too high. Several experts suggest a price reduction of at least 15% is needed to attract serious buyers. One agent also noted the couple may have overpaid when they purchased the mansion in May 2023 for $60.85 million in cash.

Complicating the sale are rising wildfire-related insurance costs in Los Angeles. A severe wildfire season earlier this year has pushed premiums significantly higher, with sources estimating annual insurance costs for the estate at around $500,000—an amount that is reportedly deterring potential buyers.

Affleck and Lopez finalized their divorce earlier this year. While the details of their property agreement have not been made public, both are said to be directly involved in the sale process. The pricing dispute is believed to reflect deeper, unresolved issues stemming from the separation.

The Beverly Hills estate was one of the couple’s most high-profile purchases during their marriage, symbolizing their high-profile union. Now, amid shifting market conditions and their personal split, it has become a source of contention.

Neither Affleck nor Lopez has made public statements regarding the situation.
