Jennifer Lopez spends Christmas in the mansion she shared with Ben Affleck after their surprise divorce

Jennifer Lopez spent Christmas at her Beverly Hills mansion, some reports suggest. Meanwhile, Ben Affleck got an apartment in Brentwood, near the home of his ex-wife Jennifer Garner and their children.

In September, it was reported that Lopez was in talks to acquire a $55 million mansion in Beverly Hills. However, she is still living in the house she had acquired with Affleck

It seems they have struggled to sell the property, as they put the home on the market in May for $68 million, just a year after buying it

A broken relationship was already on the horizon

The outlet People reported that Affleck and Lopez did not agree on some details when they acquired the property in 2023.

"The price of the mansion, at $68 million, was a proposal from Ben and a big step for her," a witness told the media

This same source points out that Ben Affleck was not very comfortable in the place, as he did not feel identified with the aesthetic style of the mansion. The opposite was true for Jennifer Lopez, who loved the place

One of the main causes of Affleck's annoyance was the traffic and the long distances with his children who lived in Brentwood.

In this case, it is most likely that Ben spent Christmas with Garnier, his ex-wife and their children, various media outlets report

The details of the couple's separation

Ben Affleck's attitude was one of the triggers for "JLO" to make the decision to file for divorce, according to the Daily Mail

Supposedly the actor humiliated her, so Jennifer Lopez took revenge and requested the formal separation, exactly on the day they celebrated their second anniversary. The breakup was no surprise, they were losing their chemistry little by little

Everything went downhill with the purchase of the property in Beverly Hills, while the divorce process is still ongoing, they are still in contact and have a good relationship.
