Though both have repeatedly deny it, the facts just keep pointing to Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck’s marriage being all but over. After public comments from each of them about the different individual hardships they face in their marriage, they are now reportedly selling their house—not a great sign for a supposedly happy couple.

Jennifer Lopez & Ben Affleck Are Reportedly Selling Their House
Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck got married in July of 2022. By spring 2023, they bought a house together, and what a house it is. They paid a crisp $61M for the 38,000 square foot mansion, which boasts a whopping "12 bedrooms, 24 bathrooms, a 12-car garage and a pool, plus a sports complex with basketball and pickleball facilities, a gym and a boxing ring," according to the Wall Street Journal.
What's not to love, right? Well, there must be something, because according to a source speaking to People, they are selling the Beverly Hills estate. We're finding it hard to believe there could be something wrong with the house (although JLo has been known to make some pretty egregious demands), which leads us to believe that the rumors must be true: JLo & Ben Affleck's marriage is not headed in a good direction.
Jennifer Lopez & Ben Affleck's Marriage Is On The Rocks
These rumors are not unfounded, either. According to sources, they're not even living together—while JLo soaks up her last days in their Beverly Hills mansion, Affleck is staying at a rental home just a few miles away while filming the movie The Accountant 2. People reported that their is strain in their marriage, and Ben even said in JLo's movie, This Is Me...Now that they've had to make some really tough compromises to make their marriage work.
"Getting back together, I said, 'One of the things I don't want is a relationship on social media.' Then I realized it's not a fair thing to ask," but ultimately admitted, "we're just two people with different approaches trying to learn to compromise."
This is apparently one of the things that causes a lot of tension. "Jen’s need to make their relationship so public and perfect often leaves Ben feeling overwhelmed and henpecked," a source told In Touch.
Another instance is having separate interests. A that same source also noted that "Ben thinks having independent lives and separate interests is healthy for the relationship. J. Lo doesn’t totally agree, but she gets it." Maybe it's all just too much?
