Ben AffleckandJennifer Lopez have hit an expensive roadblock amid their of-marriage/”>divorce.

the estranged couple – who split in April after two years of marriage – are reportedly in the final stages of dividing up their assets, which includes the sale of their former marital home.

Ben and Jennifer purchased the Beverly Hills property in 2023for $60.9 million, which was half of the original price of $135 million, and listed it for sale for $68 million in July after they attempted to quietly sell it off-market.

However, according to TMZ, Ben and Jennifer accepted an offer of $64 million from a couple from New Jersey – but the sale is now under threat after they “pulled out of escrow” following a death in their family.

This means that the unknown buyers are no longer under contract and the property will be relisted for sale.

The outlet claims, however, that the original potential buyers are “still interested” after falling “in love” with Ben and Jennifer’s 38,000-square-foot mansion.
