One of Hollywood’s most high-profile couples, Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez, are reportedly keen to move out of their marital home as soon as possible. The Accountant 2 star was reportedly not feeling comfortable in his recently acquired marital mansion with Jennifer Lopez, which is now back on the market. There is speculation that his top priority is a speedy sale than maximizing his profits, indicating a strong desire to distance himself amid rumors of marital woes.
Affleck and Lopez are in a hurry to sell their $ 60 million mansion
According to insiders who spoke to Page Six, Affleck never felt at home in the luxurious Beverly Hills estate. The couple, who spent nearly two years shopping for their dream home, publicly listed their mansion for sale for $68 million after purchasing it for $60 million. Some sources now claim they could have sold it earlier, but perhaps waited for a more opportune time to reach out to as many people as possible — though split rumors may have ultimately played a role in the timing.

“They thought they could sell it off the market but decided to sell it to draw more attention to the property,” an insider claimed.
Ben was never happy there
“They are in a hurry to sell it. Ben especially wants to be done with the house. He was never happy there,” a source told Page Six. News of their shared mansion hitting the market surfaced in June, along with reports that they were also trying to sell some of their artwork. The development comes at a time when Ben and Jen have been living completely separate lives in recent months. The actor is currently living in a rental property in Brentwood, while the pop star stays in her LA home. The couple hasn’t been spotted together in over a month now.
The domestic strife has started to show its effect on the real estate market as well, with reports suggesting that they want to get it done without wasting any time. Insiders allege that the sprawling 38,000 square foot home never felt right to the couple. Perhaps with the kids not always around, the huge space felt like too much. “They rarely have all the kids there at once, so it felt too big for both of them,” the source said.
