However, the mansion that Lopez and Affleck shared in Beverly Hills, listed for sale for 68 million dollars on July 11, 2024, remains on the market. The former couple bought the property for 60 million dollars in June 2023 after getting married in July 2022.
Affleck, who bought his own house in Los Angeles for 20 million dollars on July 24, 2024, recently spoke for the first time about his separation from the Diva of the Bronx, revealing that there was no “major fracture” that caused the end.
In an interview with GQ magazine, Affleck was asked why he decided to participate in Lopez’s 2024 documentary, The Greatest Love Story Never Told. “Part of it was, ‘OK, if I’m going to participate in this, I want to try to do it in an honest way and in a way that is interesting’,” commented the Argo star to the publication. “Because I thought it was an interesting examination.”
Affleck also praised Lopez for being someone who “handles celebrity in a more skillful and accurate way than I do.”
He explained, "My temperament is to be a bit more reserved and private than hers. As it happens in relationships, you don’t always have the same attitude towards these things. And I thought, ‘Oh, this is interesting because how do you reconcile that?’ Because... I love and support this person. I believe in her. She’s great. I want people to see that."
