Jennifer Lopez’s plans to sell her Beverly Hills Crest mansion have hit a setback after a prospective buyer reportedly pulled out of the deal.
According to TMZ, the unnamed buyer backed out of the purchase on Tuesday (July 14), sending the 38,000-square-foot Los Angeles estate back onto the market.
The buyer had reportedly placed a “substantial” deposit on the $50 million property, which Lopez previously shared with her ex-husband, Ben Affleck, before deciding not to move forward with the purchase. Lopez and Affleck were married from 2022 to 2025, marking her fourth marriage and his second.
Listing agent Branden Williams of The Beverly Hills Estates told The New York Post that the potential buyer came from the “tech and finance” world, adding that “everybody knows his name,” though he did not reveal the person’s identity.
Lopez and Affleck purchased the Beverly Hills Crest estate together in May 2023 for nearly $61 million. The 12-bedroom, 24-bathroom mansion was first listed for sale in July 2024 at $68 million, just days before Lopez filed for divorce. The asking price was later reduced to $59.95 million by May 2025, and after being listed and removed multiple times, the home returned to the market in May 2026 with a new asking price of $49.99 million—more than $18 million below its original listing price.
Court documents show that Affleck signed over his full ownership interest in the property to Lopez in April without accepting any payment. The change amended their original divorce agreement, which had called for the former couple to split the proceeds from any future sale. As a result, Lopez is now expected to receive the full amount once the property is sold.
Earlier this year, following the finalization of her divorce, Lopez purchased a five-bedroom home in Hidden Hills for $17.5 million.
