Ben Affleck Signs Over His Stake in Their $60 Million Beverly Hills Estate to Ex-Wife J. Lo
Ben Affleck has signed his stake in the former couple’s Beverly Hills estate over to Jennifer Lopez, updating their divorce property settlement, according to court filings obtained by Us Weekly; TMZ first reported the transfer.
Another chapter closed in the Bennifer 2.0 saga: Ben Affleck just signed over his share of the Beverly Hills mansion he bought with Jennifer Lopez. It is real-estate housekeeping, sure, but it is also a clean break signal. And yes, the price tag on this place was exactly as bonkers as you remember.
Where the house stands now
According to court documents obtained by Us Weekly (TMZ got there first), Affleck, 53, transferred his interest in the Beverly Hills property to Lopez, 56. The paperwork spells out two big things: both are on the hook for any taxes tied to the move, and for federal income tax purposes the transfer is being treated as a property swap between spouses as part of a divorce. Translation: it is structured to be tax-compliant and tidy.
The backstory (and the messy timeline)
They bought the place for $60 million in June 2023. After the marriage went south (married in 2022, separated in 2024, divorce finalized in February 2025 ), the mansion became a headache. Early on, they tried the stealth route, shopping it off-market, then pivoted to a formal listing to get more eyeballs. One source at the time said they were hustling to unload it and that Affleck was never happy living there.
From there, reports got a little tangled on dates, but the through-line is the same: they could not agree on where to price the house. Lopez pushed to hold the line, arguing they could get more. The market said otherwise, and it did not move. Affleck, meanwhile, wanted to cut the price and be done. At one point, they chopped $8 million off the ask, and when that still did not do the trick, the listing eventually expired and the property was pulled in July 2025.
The timeline, as clean as it gets
- June 2023: They buy the Beverly Hills mansion for $60 million.
- Post-split: They first try to sell off-market, then list publicly to widen the pool of buyers; Affleck is eager to move on.
- Price drama: Multiple reports say Lopez wants to hold firm for a higher number; Affleck pushes to lower the price.
- Price cut: An $8 million reduction hits the listing at one point.
- February 2025: Their divorce is finalized.
- April 2025: Still no sale; insiders say they remain split on price.
- July 2025: The listing expires and the house is taken off the market.
- Now: Affleck transfers his share of the property to Lopez, with both sides responsible for any related taxes, and the transfer categorized for federal purposes as incident to divorce.
What Affleck has said about the split
'My temperament is to be a little bit more reserved and private than hers. As happens in relationships, you do not always have the same attitude towards these things.'
That was Affleck to GQ in March 2025, his first real public take after the divorce paperwork cleared. He also stood by his appearance in Lopez's 2024 documentary The Greatest Love Story Never Told, saying he only agreed because he wanted to approach it honestly and show why he believes in her and supports her, even if their styles with the spotlight do not match.
Life beyond the mansion
Affleck was previously married to Jennifer Garner, and they share three kids. Lopez is mom to 18-year-old twins, Max and Emme, with ex-husband Marc Anthony.
