In a quietly significant postscript to one of Hollywood’s most closely watched divorces, Ben Affleck has reportedly signed away his entire stake in the former couple’s $60 million Beverly Hills mansion to Jennifer Lopez — without receiving a single dollar in return.
The transfer was confirmed through a modification to the pair’s property settlement agreement, which describes a “transfer of property among spouses,” according to TMZ.
While the legal document does not spell out the specific terms, sources close to the situation told the outlet that Affleck voluntarily relinquished his full ownership interest in the property at no cost to Lopez.
The sprawling estate — purchased in June 2023 for $60.85 million while the couple was still married — was once envisioned as the crown jewel of what many hoped would be Hollywood’s most enduring second-chance love story. Sitting in the heart of Beverly Hills, the 38,000-square-foot compound features 12 bedrooms, 24 bathrooms, and a full-sized basketball court, a property that by any measure was built for permanence.
But permanence, it turned out, was not on the cards. Within a year of the purchase, the mansion was listed for sale amid swirling divorce rumours. Reports at the time attempted to frame the decision in neutral terms — Lopez allegedly finding the home too large, Affleck supposedly never having warmed to it — but the real story arrived two months later when Lopez formally filed for divorce.
As their marriage unravelled, both parties quietly resettled into new corners of Los Angeles. Affleck moved into a $20.5 million Pacific Palisades property in the summer of 2024, positioning himself closer to his three children — Violet, 20, Seraphina, 17, and Samuel, 13 — whom he shares with his ex-wife Jennifer Garner.
Lopez, for her part, purchased an $18 million Los Angeles home the following March, establishing a base for herself and her 18-year-old twins, Max and Emme, whom she shares with ex-husband Marc Anthony.

Through all of this, the Beverly Hills mansion lingered on the market — a $60 million loose end that neither party appeared in a hurry to resolve. Then, in a move that surprised observers, the two quietly pulled the property off the market last summer in what was described as a “business decision.”
Affleck’s Generous Exit:
With the divorce finalised in January 2025, the fate of the estate has now become clearer. Affleck’s decision to transfer his share of the property to Lopez without financial compensation represents a remarkably clean exit — one that strips away what could have been a prolonged and contentious negotiation over one of the most valuable residential assets in recent celebrity real estate history.
Whether the gesture reflects lingering goodwill, a pragmatic desire for closure, or something more calculated remains known only to the two of them. What is clear is that Jennifer Lopez now holds sole ownership of a property that once represented the couple’s shared future — and Ben Affleck has walked away without looking back.
