EXCLUSIVE: JENNIFER LOPEZ REFUSING TO SELL $68M MANSION TO SPITE BEN AFFLECK: “SHE’S STILL ANGRY”
“He ran from their marriage. Now she’s refusing to let him run from this deal.”
Jennifer Lopez is holding the line — and sources say it’s personal.
The superstar singer, 55, is refusing to drop the price on the $68 million Beverly Hills estate she once shared with Ben Affleck, despite the property sitting on the market for nearly nine months.
“This is typical Ben,” a source close to the situation tells #ShuterScoop. “When things get hard, he runs. That’s what he did in the marriage — and Jen is sick of it.”
Affleck, 52, is eager to unload the property and pushing to slash the price, but Lopez isn’t budging. She’s playing the long game.
“She doesn’t need the money. He does,” a real estate source dishes. “Ben’s got projects to fund. Jen is happy to wait until she gets what she’s worth.”
The former couple accepted a $64 million offer last fall, but the buyer pulled out — and insiders say the standoff has only worsened since their divorce was finalized in January.
“She’s still angry. She feels like she bent over backwards to make things work, and now he wants to rush this sale because he’s feeling pressure? She’s not having it,” the insider adds.
Lopez has told friends she’s done being the one who compromises, especially now that she’s rebuilding her life — and her brand — solo.
“Jen’s not here to help Ben get a discount exit. She wants to win this one.”
As for the house itself? Sources say neither ever truly loved it — but now it’s become a million-dollar battleground in a very public divorce.
With no buyer in sight and the tension rising, one insider sums it up like this:
“The house may be empty, but the drama inside it is alive and well.”
