Ben Affleck has reportedly gifted his ex-wife Jennifer Lopez his entire share of their $60 million mansion for free.
The former couple modified their property settlement agreement, which shows a “transfer of property among spouses,” per TMZ.
The document doesn’t specify the exact nature of the transfer, but on Friday, sources close to the situation told the outlet that Affleck gave Lopez his entire stake of the property at no cost.
Reps for Affleck and Lopez were not immediately available to Page Six for comment.
Affleck and Lopez bought the massive mansion in Beverly Hills, California, for $60.85 million back in June 2023 while they were still married.
The 38,000-square-foot home — which includes a whopping 12 bedrooms, 24 bathrooms and a full basketball court — was supposed to serve as the perfect love nest.
At the time, TMZ reported that the actor and the pop star — who tied the knot in July 2022 — paid in cash for the pad.
But the following June, they put their marital home on the market amid rumors they were heading for a divorce.
Despite reports that the duo were only selling the mansion because Lopez thought the property is “too big for her” and that Affleck “never liked the house,” the singer filed for divorce two months later.
That same summer, Affleck purchased a $20.5 million mansion in the Pacific Palisades to be closer to his kids — Violet, 20, Seraphina, 17, and Samuel, 13 — whom he shares with his ex-wife Jennifer Garner.
Affleck and Lopez finalized their divorce in January 2025 and the future of the home was unclear as it was still sitting on the market.
Lopez bought a $18 million home in Los Angeles the following March for her and her 18-year-old twins, Max and Emme, whom she shares with ex-husband Marc Anthony.
But last summer, Affleck and Lopez took the mansion off the market in a surprising “business decision.”
“While they’ve been hoping to sell the property, they’ve also been hesitant to take a big loss,” an insider told People at the time.
“They lowered the price to get more interest and when this didn’t happen, they were advised to take it off the market,” the source continued. “It was a business decision that they made together.”
The real estate insider told the outlet that “it’s a rough sellers market and especially for that price point.”
“Taking it off the market until it’s more of a seller friendly climate seems like the smartest decision,” the source added.
But with this new development, it seems that the future of the mega mansion is entirely in the hands of Lopez, who recently shared that she feels “free” two years after her and Affleck’s divorce.
“I’m in my happy era,” she gushed in a teaser clip, which aired on “Good Morning America” last month. “I think, for the first time in my life, I feel like I’m free; I’m on my own. And it feels really good.”
