Jennifer Lopez Never Found $68M Beverly Hills Mansion Appealing; Source Claims It Was Ben Affleck’s Pick
Jennifer Lopez never found the Beverly Hills mansion she shared with Ben Affleck appealing, according to a People source. The $68 million dwelling was mostly Ben’s idea, the source added. The estranged couple’s former love nest, was purchased for $60 million in 2023 and publicly listed for sale just over a year later, in July 2024, amid enduring chatter of their marriage going through a rough patch. Lopez eventually filed for divorce from the Argo star in August.
Lopez, per People’s source, only agreed to purchase the opulent house because of its spacious layout, which was fit to accommodate both her and Affleck’s families. With its 38,000-square-foot footprint, two private entrances, 12 bedrooms, 24 bathrooms, a fully equipped gym, a pickleball court, and office space, the property was big enough to provide space for the singer’s twins, Max and Emme, 16, whom she shares with ex-husband Marc Anthony, as well as Affleck’s three children, Violet, 18, Seraphina, 15, and Samuel, 12, whom he shares with ex-wife Jennifer Garner.
Per the abovementioned source, ultra-modern spaces are not really Lopez’s type. She would rather prefer a romantic, Spanish, European vibe.

Another source countered the idea that Affleck was the one to pick the BH mansion that the couple is now having trouble offloading. The tipster said that the Oscar winner always preferred Brentwood because his kids lived there. “It was such a pain and time-consuming for Ben to navigate traffic from their house. He never liked it,” the source said.
Affleck, for those who may not know, recently spent $20.5 million on a house in the same locality after quietly moving his belongings out of the house being discussed while the Hustlers actress was on vacation during the summer. The five-bedroom property is “family-friendly, but it could easily be transformed into a bachelor pad,” a source previously told People. The neighborhood reportedly is home to several entertainment industry A-listers and boasts a sophisticated crowd.
Jen, meanwhile, is still seeing houses to start afresh after her separation from Affleck.
In her August 20 divorce filing, Lopez requested the judge to waive spousal support entitlements for both parties while also seeking reestablishment of her maiden name. The singer listed April 26 as their date of separation and, according to media reports, the pair did not have a prenuptial agreement.
While their personal connection has ended, Lopez and Affleck remain linked professionally as the singer-actress stars in two movies: Unstoppable and Kiss of the Spider Woman, produced by her soon-to-be ex-husband’s production house, Artists Equity. The former flick is set to premiere at the Toronto Film Festival on Friday, September 6.
Lopez is expected to attend the annual event for the film with Matt Damon, Affleck’s best friend, and partner at the previously mentioned production company. Affleck is likely to skip the showcase.

“Don’t Say…”: Top Court On CBI’s Argument Against Bail For Arvind Kejriwal
Granting bail to Arvind Kejriwal will not “demoralise” the Delhi High Court, which last month refused the Chief Minister relief over his arrest by the CBI in the alleged liquor policy scam, the Supreme Court said Thursday. A bench of Justice Ujjal Bhuyan and Justice Surya Kant waved away the federal agency’s argument against releasing the AAP leader, saying, “Don’t say that.”
Appearing for the CBI, Additional Solicitor General SV Raju also argued that Mr Kejriwal had incorrectly bypassed the lower court – i.e., Delhi’s Rouse Avenue Court – and approached the High Court for bail.
“He approached High Court without going to Sessions Court… on merits, trial court could have seen it first. High Court can only see in exceptional cases…” he said, declaring releasing Mr Kejriwal now would demotivate the High Court.
The CBI’s logic also drew a sarcastic swipe from AAP MP Raghav Chadha, who posted on X, “If the Sun rises from the East, it will demoralise the West.”
In early August the High Court rejected Mr Kejriwal’s bail plea, directing him to approach the sessions court for relief. The AAP, however, opted to move the country’s top court, citing its observation in the release of ex Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia, that “sending the appellant back to the trial court would be like playing a game of snakes and ladders…“
After Thursday’s hearing the top court reserved its verdict on Mr Kejriwal’s bail plea. The court also reserved its verdict on a separate plea challenging the CBI’s arrest of the Chief Minister.
The AAP chief was arrested by the CBI in June; he was taken into custody at the Rouse Avenue Court shortly after securing bail for his arrest by the Enforcement Directorate in the same case.

Senior advocate Abhishek Singhvi, appearing for Mr Kejriwal, criticised the CBI’s arrest as an “insurance” to keep the AAP leader in jail for as long as possible, particularly with the Delhi Assembly election due early next year. Mr Singhvi pointed out Arvind Kejriwal had received bail in the ED case, which meant he had fully satisfied the ‘triple test’ legal principle for release.

It was also pointed out that all others accused in the alleged liquor policy scam – Mr Sisodia and AAP Rajya Sabha MP Sanjay Singh, as well as Bharat Rashtra Samithi leader K Kavitha – had bail.

“Prolonged incarceration cannot be there…” Mr Singhvi said, referring to statements by the top court in releasing Mr Sisodia, “Is ‘triple test’ satisfied? Yes… in the Manish Sisodia judgment, the court held that in this particular case of excise policy, trial is impossible to finish.”
Mr Kejriwal has been in jail since late-March. He received temporary reprieve in June, before Delhi voted in the general election, but had to return to Tihar Jail after the results were out.
The ED and CBI contend Arvind Kejriwal played a key role in forming of a new liquor excise policy for Delhi, which allowed him to sell wholesale licences and get kickbacks, around Rs 100 crore of which, the authorities claim, came from a ‘South group’ led by the BRS’ K Kavitha.
This money, the agencies allege, was used to fund the AAP’s election expenses in Goa.
Mr Kejriwal, the AAP, and other accused have denied the charge, counter-accusing rivals Bharatiya Janata Party, to whose government at the centre the agencies answer, of mounting a campaign against opposition politicians and parties, particularly before elections.
