Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck Are Getting Back Together? Speculations Arise Over USD 68M Beverly Hills Mansion
Decision to pull Beverly Hills mansion listing
The Beverly Hills estate was first listed in July 2024, just weeks before Lopez filed for divorce from Affleck in August. According to PEOPLE, the On the Floor singer and the Argo actor were eager to sell the 12-bedroom, 24-bathroom property but could not find a buyer.
'While they've been hoping to sell the property, they've also been hesitant to take a big loss,' an insider told PEOPLE on Wednesday, July 2. The source added, 'They lowered the price to get more interest and when this didn't happen, they were advised to take it off the market. It was a business decision that they made together.'
Here's why they waited to sell
Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck's real estate move comes amid a 'rough sellers market.' The couple dropped the asking price by USD 8.5 million, from USD 68 million to USD 59.5 million, before officially pulling the property off the market.
'It's a rough sellers market and especially for that price point,' a real estate source told PEOPLE. 'Taking it off the market until it's more of a seller-friendly climate seems like the smartest decision.'
Lopez and Affleck purchased the massive 38,000-square-foot home in May 2023 for USD 60.8 million. The estate features a 12-car garage, a 5,000-square-foot guest penthouse, a two-bedroom guardhouse, and a caretaker house. Other luxury amenities include a sports lounge, bar, and a full gym.
Where are Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck living now?
Following their divorce, Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck have moved into new homes separately. Lopez bought a USD 18 million home in Los Angeles in March. Affleck purchased a USD 20.5 million mansion in the Pacific Palisades last July to stay close to his children, Violet, 19, Seraphina, 16, and Samuel, 12, whom he shares with ex-wife Jennifer Garner.
Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck's divorce was finalized in January 2025 after they quietly separated in April 2024. Nearly one year after filing, the exes are still making big financial decisions together.

'We both wanted to drive': Brad Pitt on why Ford vs Ferrari didnt come through with Tom Cruise
Washington DC [US], July 4 (ANI): Brad Pitt is currently basking in the success of his recently released film 'F1', which has topped the charts at the international box office. While the rumours of the 'F1' sequel are still rife on the internet, with a possible crossover of Tom Cruise, the actor Pitt revealed why the 'Ford vs Ferrari' didn't happen with him and Cruise in the lead roles, as reported by Variety. In an earlier interview, 'F1' director Joseph Kosinski revealed that he initially pitched the idea of Ford vs Ferrari with Brad Pitt and Tom Cruise in the lead roles. However, it didn't see the light of another day due to budget issues with the makers. James Mangold ended up directing "Ford v Ferrari" with Christian Bale and Matt Damon instead. In a recent interview with The National, as quoted by Variety, Pitt revealed that there was another reason why 'Ford vs Ferrari' didn't feature him and Cruise in lead roles. "Tom and I, for a while there, were on 'Ford v Ferrari' with Joe [to direct]. This was about 10 years before the guys who actually made it - and made it a great movie," Pitt said as quoted by Variety. He added, "What it came down to is that we both wanted to drive, and [Tom] wanted to play Shelby, and I wanted to play Ken Miles. And when Tom realised that Carroll Shelby would not be driving much in the movie, it didn't come through. So I'm not sure how that's going to work [in a potential 'F1' sequel], but we'll give it a go. I'd love to," as quoted by Variety. According to the outlet, Pitt is currently considering an 'F1' sequel, as Apple is reportedly in talks about a potential follow-up to the racing movie, which grossed 144 million USD worldwide upon its release. "I would want to drive again, selfishly speaking. F1 is still the focus. It needs to be on Joshua Pierce - Damson Idris's character - and the rest of the team fighting for a championship. Where does Sonny fit in? I'm not sure. Sonny's probably out on the Bonneville Salt Flats, setting speed records or something like that. So I'm not sure beyond that, just yet," said Pitt as quoted by Variety. 'F1' is directed by John Kosinski, who is famous for the direction of 'Top Gun: Maverick'. The racing drama also stars Damson Idris, Javier Bardem and Kate McKenna in the lead roles. It was released in theatres on June 27, 2025 (ANI)

Pop star Katy Perry, actor Orlando Bloom split 6 years after getting engaged
New York, Jul 4 (AP) Popstar Katy Perry and actor Orlando Bloom have split, multiple media outlets reported on Thursday. Outlets including People and USA Today cited a statement that said the pair 'have been shifting their relationship over the past many months to focus on co-parenting' and would continue to be seen in public with their daughter. The statement, attributed to representatives for both stars, said their priority would be raising their daughter with 'love, stability, and mutual respect'. The statement came a week after reports of the couple's breakup swirled ahead of the wedding of billionaire Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez Bezos, which Bloom attended alone. Perry has been on a world tour. Representatives for Perry and Bloom did not immediately respond to The Associated Press' request for comment. Perry, 40, and Bloom, 48, have been romantically linked since 2016. The pair split in 2017 but rekindled shortly thereafter, getting engaged on Valentine's Day in 2019, as Perry revealed during an interview on 'Jimmy Kimmel Live'. In 2020, the pair welcomed a daughter named Daisy Dove Bloom. Perry and Bloom got UNICEF to announce the news on its Instagram account. Both are goodwill ambassadors for the United Nations agency that helps children. Bloom and his former wife, Australian model Miranda Kerr, have a son, Flynn, who was born in 2011. Daisy is Perry's only child. Perry, born Katheryn Elizabeth Hudson, was previously married to comedian Russell Brand. Born and raised in California, the 13-time Grammy Award nominee helped usher in the sound of '00s pop, quickly becoming one of the bestselling artists of all time for her campy, big, belting anthems. She has released seven studio albums, most notably 2010's sugar-sweet 'Teenage Dream'. The album produced five No. 1s that tied a record set by Michael Jackson's 1987 album 'Bad'. Bloom, who is from Canterbury, England, is best known for his roles as the elf Legolas in 'The Lord of the Rings' and "The Hobbit" films as well as Will Turner in the 'Pirates of the Caribbean' series.
