U-Haul truck noticed exterior JLo and Ben Affleck’s $68M LA mansion
A U-Haul truck was spotted parked outside divorcing couple Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck‘s marital megamansion in Beverly Hills on Thursday amid reports she no longer ‘feels comfortable living there.’
The couple formerly known as ‘Bennifer’ – who legally separated April 26 – originally paid $60.85M in May 2023 for the double-gated, 12-bedroom, and 24-bathroom Crestview Manor property, which is perched atop a five-acre promontory.
There was also a curious red pick-up truck loaded with cardboard boxes parked outside the recently-renovated home, which spans 46K square feet under roof and 38K square feet under air conditioning.
The 55-year-old pop diva and her 52-year-old estranged fourth husband – who reportedly have a $20M mortgage – hired The Agency realtor Santiago Arana in May to quietly unload it off market, before it was publicly listed on MLS for an eye-popping $68M on July 11.
There are still no buyers for ‘The Crown Jewel of Wallingford’ which boasts a stunning zero-edge pool, 12-car garage, basketball and pickleball courts, a fully-equipped gym, a boxing ring, a sports lounge, and a bar.

Aside from the lavish main residence, the property comes with a 5K-square-foot guest penthouse, a caretaker house, and a two-bedroom guard house.
‘She and Ben bought the house for the whole [blended] family,’ an insider told People on Wednesday.
‘It’s way too big for her and filled with too many memories as well.’
Jennifer has been house hunting as far back as May to no avail while Ben closed escrow on his $20.5M five-bedroom, six-bathroom Brentwood mansion on July 24, which just so happened to be her birthday.
On August 20, Lopez filed for divorce from Affleck in LA County Superior Court on what would’ve been the second anniversary of their wedding at his $8.9M, 87-acre property on the Hampton Island Preserve in Georgia.
The two-time Grammy nominee and the two-time Oscar-winning filmmaker reportedly did not sign a prenuptial agreement, so everything they earned during the marriage is community property.
Jennifer and Ben originally met on the LA set of Martin Brest’s box office bomb Gigli in 2001, abruptly split three days before their wedding in 2004, and began surreptitiously texting each other again in February 2021 – two months before she ended her engagement to Alex Rodriguez.
