Jennifer Lopez has once again captured attention, not with a major announcement, but with a subtle bathroom selfie that hints at lingering ties to her former life with Ben Affleck.
Over the weekend, the Unstoppable star posted a casual photo on her Instagram Stories that eagle-eyed fans quickly identified as being inside the $68 million Bel-Air mansion she once shared with Affleck. Despite the property being listed for sale since July 2024, it appears Lopez may still be calling it home, Daily Mail reports.
In the photo, Lopez embraced relaxed Sunday vibes, wearing a beige cable-knit turtleneck under acid-washed denim overalls. Her honey-highlighted hair was down in soft waves, and her makeup was kept natural and glowing. The post was simply captioned “SUNDAY,” but fans immediately recognized the luxurious white moldings and light wood floors distinctive to the Bel-Air estate.
Adding more fuel to the speculation, Lopez also shared an image of a cozy living space featuring chocolate chip cookies on a coffee table, a crackling fireplace, and a vase of pink flowers — a setting unmistakably tied to the mansion’s elegant interior design.
While Lopez seems to be enjoying moments of calm in familiar surroundings, behind the scenes, the situation is far more complicated. According to insiders speaking to Us Weekly, the $68 million property has struggled to attract serious buyers, despite its impressive 12 bedrooms and 24 bathrooms.
Reports suggest a divide between Lopez and Affleck over how to proceed with the sale. Lopez reportedly wants to hold firm on the asking price, believing the estate’s value justifies it. Meanwhile, Affleck is eager to move on, pushing for a price reduction to expedite the process.
“Ben wants to cut ties and sell it,” a source revealed. “He’s ready to move on and thinks lowering the price is the best way to do that.”
Real estate experts echo Affleck’s stance, with many recommending the couple slash the asking price by at least 15% to align with current market conditions. Some have even speculated that Lopez and Affleck may have initially overpaid for the home, making it harder to find buyers willing to match their asking price.
As Lopez continues to enjoy the comforts of the Bel-Air estate, the real estate drama surrounding one of Hollywood’s most high-profile former couples is far from over
