Second chance

2022 marked an important milestone in the history of Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck. In April 2022, after several months of speculation, Ben Affleck proposed to Jennifer Lopez again, and this time the answer was a resounding “yes”. In July 2022, the couple married in an intimate ceremony in Las Vegas, celebrating their love in a simple yet meaningful way. The wedding was a surprise to many, as it was not what was expected from such a famous couple. Jennifer Lopez shared the details of her wedding through her personal newsletter “On the JLo”, making it clear that what mattered most was their happiness, regardless of the media hype.

The burden of the new divorce

The couple’s breakup involves the division of property. One of them is the gigantic mansion they bought, the same one that is valued at $68 million and has been put up for sale. The issue is that this property has been on the market for months and the fact that it has not been bought by someone has become frustrating for the artist. “She can’t wait to get out of the house when she can and assumed it would have happened by now and someone would have bought it, especially after the renovations and personal touches she added, but nothing has happened,” a source exclusively told Intouch Weekly

“Of course, she has been told that only a select group of buyers would be interested and have that amount of money, but it is becoming increasingly frustrating to be there,” a source told Intouch Weekly. “The house is like a noose around her neck and she feels trapped. She walks around the house and feels all the bad memories. Not even her weird voodoo magic has helped her. The place still has Ben’s fingerprints all over it,” the source stressed.
