Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez stuck in marital home turmoil as $60M mansion FAILS to sell
Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez are giving up on their mission to offload their Beverly Hills marital mansion one year after putting it up for sale. The actor, 52, and My Love Don't Cost A Thing singer, 55, purchased their marital home in cash for $60.8 million in May 2023, nearly one year into their union. They broke up the following year, listing the home for $68M in July after they were unsuccessful in selling it off the market. As they struggled to get the property off their hands, they subsequently lowered the price by $8 million. According to the outlet, real estate records now show the sprawling property has been removed from the market, per People. The actor, 52, and actress, 55, purchased their marital home in cash for $60.8 million in May 2023, nearly one year into their union; JLo pictured in May The Kiss of the Spider Woman actress filed for divorce from Ben on their two-year wedding anniversary last August. Ben shares Violet, 19; Fin, 16; and Samuel, 13, with ex-wife Jennifer Garner, 53. Meanwhile, Lopez shares fraternal twins Emme and Max, 17, with ex-husband Marc Anthony. A Zillow listing described the estate as 'recently renovated with the highest level of quality.' Featured listed include a boxing ring and sports lounge, fully equipped gym, basketball and pickleball courts, and a bar. There is also a 12-car garage, guest penthouse, caretaker house and a two-bedroom guardhouse. Last month an i nsider exclusively told the Daily Mail, 'Ben and JLo slashed the price on their Beverly Hills mansion for $8 million less than they paid for it, but this is nothing to Ben.' 'He really just wants this to be sold so that he can cut the final cord that keeps him and Jennifer intertwined,' it was added. Affleck spent last Sunday house-hunting for bachelor pads in the Brentwood neighborhood not far from Garner's $7.8M four-bedroom Brentwood Park home. It's been a year since Affleck closed escrow on his last property, a $20.5M five-bedroom Brentwood mansion, after separating from second wife Jennifer. Meanwhile, Jennifer has started home renovations to her new $17.5M five-bedroom Hidden Hills mansion. DailyMail's source said Ben and Jennifer's shared abode 'caused drama' in their marriage because the Argo director 'never wanted to shell out that much for this home to begin with.' '[Ben] knows [Jennifer] will always have a presence in his life with their kids remaining best friends, but this house is the one last thing that is a symbol of their marriage,' the person close to the couple continued.

It Took A Nearly $3 Million Price Cut For Nicole Richie And Joel Madden To Sell Their Parisian-Style Beverly Hills Mansion
Benzinga and Yahoo Finance LLC may earn commission or revenue on some items through the links below. Nicole Richie and Joel Madden just did what their relatives are trying to do and sold their Beverly Hills mansion. Just like Cameron Diaz and Benji Madden, however, they had to shave a healthy amount off the listing price. Located in The Summit, an 80-home, guard-gated community, the property has an interesting history. While it was built in a French chateau style in 1987, it was owned and reimagined by Sam Gnatovich and Alexi Rennalls of SIMO Design in 2019, as detailed by Architectural Digest. According to Zillow, the couple listed it for $13 million in May 2020, just two years after purchasing it. It took some price changes, but Richie and Madden snagged the property in May 2021 for $10.15 million. Don't Miss: Maker of the $60,000 foldable home has 3 factory buildings, 600+ houses built, and big plans to solve housing — Invest Where It Hurts — And Help Millions Heal: In July 2024, just over three years after buying it, the media personality/fashion designer and Good Charlotte rocker put the mansion up for sale for $12.95 million. Two months later, the property reached contingent status, but the deal fell through, and the listing was removed. In December, it was back on the market for the same price, but it took a price cut to nearly $12 million in February for any movement. As of May 30, the home has been taken off the market after being sold for just under $10.2 million — a hair above what they bought it for. "A taste of Paris meets Beverly Hills. World-class in every way, finishes include: intricate millwork, wide plank oak floors, book-matched slab Calacatta Corchia marble and portola lime-washed walls," the Hilton & Hyland listing reads. Trending: , which provides access to a pool of short-term loans backed by residential real estate with just a $100 minimum. The five-bedroom, seven-bathroom home has 6,165 square feet of living space. The motor court leads up to the formal entryway where you're introduced to clean lines and plenty of marble on the fireplaces, the kitchen island and more. The primary suite also has a marble fireplace, its own sitting area, a wall of glass to take in the views, a gallery hallway and a large walk-in closet. To top it off, the primary bathroom has a marble tub and yet another marble fireplace. Three of the other bedrooms are also ensuite and have walk-in closets. We bet the new owners will spend plenty of time in the backyard, which features a pool and spa, a dining area and lounge area, plenty of greenery for privacy and stunning views. Richie and Joel's former home is just 4.5 miles from the property Diaz and Benji are trying to sell. It's unclear if either famous couple has their eye on any new Beverly Hills real estate, but we'll see if the twins and in-laws stay close by.

Beverly Hills Estate Owned By A String Of Industry Titans Hits The Market At $17 Million
Tall gates and dense hedging ensure complete seclusion—essential for a residence that has welcomed a former president. Few buyers place 'previous owner' at the top of a must-have list, yet provenance casts color on every address. A storied history suggests how a house is lived in, loved, even re-engineered. At 708 North Rexford Drive in Beverly Hills, that color comes from an elite palette. Three power players—fashion mogul Max Azria, Netflix co-CEO Ted Sarandos with former author, producer and former U.S. ambassador Nicole Avant, and Fox Television chief Jack Abernethy—have all at different times called these walls home. Built in 1923, the residence has been thoughtfully modernized while standing by its classic character. From the curb, the house projects discreet East Coast formality. A high hedge, twin motor courts and a black-slate rooftop adorned with dormer windows whisper New England more than Los Angeles. Step through the door and the illusion continues. Traditional millwork and formal rooms project buttoned-up composure. Yet sliding walls open to a sun-bleached pool deck—pure California. Style says tux, setting says swimsuit. Living areas favor the formality of measured layouts and polished finishes. Speaking of attire, Max Azria, founder of women's fashion brand BCBG (not to be confused with CBGB, the legendary dive bar turned NYC punk nirvana), likely found the six-bedroom layout perfect for his eye for fashion. Twin dressing areas—with closets spacious enough to host a season's collection—surely proved irresistible. The short hop to Rodeo Drive's designer ateliers only sweetened the choice. Time and temperature recommend the gathering scene: brisk coffee around the kitchen island in the morning, a chilled white on the patio once the air turns warm. Azria's buyers, Sarandos and Avant, brought a different spotlight. In 2012, the power couple staged a private fundraiser here for President Barack Obama. No press allowed. Guest cars curled through the dual motor courts and vanished behind foliage. Inside, the floor plan proved more than hospitable. Formal living and library corridored into a glassy family room, then spilled outdoors to a lantern-lit dining grove. Tickets ran towards $40,000 a seat. Proof positive that this architecture can handle both intimate scripts and box-office blockbusters. The keys would eventually land in the hands of 708 North Rexford Drive's current owner, Jack Abernethy, who quickly went to work behind the scenes. The Fox executive relocated the kitchen to the back of the house. Now marble countertops spectate as family and guests cannonball into a newly minted pool. A guest cottage sprang up a few steps away, outfitted with its own fireplace and two baths. The overhaul moved the heart of the home toward the garden, coaxing people outside, letting conversation track the sun across the lawn. The primary suite doubles its indulgence with twin closets and separate ensuite baths. Private quarters remain suitably elevated. The primary suite pushes onto an airy terrace with a fireplace. Two secondary suites play their own balconies. A convertible fifth bedroom waits on the main floor for staff, teenage independence… or a sudden brainstorm that needs an office by morning. Location completes the portrait. The Flats earns its name from—you guessed it—flat ground that stalls just before the Santa Monica Mountains begin to climb skyward. That gentle topography means quick hops to studios along Pico, red-carpet premieres on Hollywood Boulevard, late dinners on Rodeo Drive. The Beverly Hills Hotel glows five minutes away. Private jets at Van Nuys break the horizon in under half an hour. For executives who measure days in such increments, minutes matter. A detached guest house—equipped with living room, kitchen, bedroom and two baths—grants visitors enviable poolside access. So does legacy. A house that has inspired couture, courted presidents and rewritten prime-time schedules speaks to more than square footage. It signals uncompromising standards. Buyers may not list 'former owner' on a spreadsheet, yet the notion hovers. Who actually lived here? At 708 North Rexford, the cohort is hard to ignore, with each name a benchmark of success. The home rose to their levels. Now the question is: who will shape its legacy next? Priced at $16.85 million, the listing for 708 N Rexford is held by Brett Lawyer of Carolwood Estates.
