Jennifer Lopez accidentally reveals she is still living at $68M marital mansion Affleck is 'desperate' to sell
Jennifer Lopez accidentally revealed that she is still living inside the $68million mansion she used to share with Ben Affleck.
The Unstoppable actress posted a selfie to Insta Stories from inside the bathroom of the mega home in Bel-Air, California on Sunday.
The looker had her honey highlighted hair down with dewy nude makeup on. As she looked into the camera she showed off a pale beige cable knit turtleneck sweater worn under a pair of acid-washed denim overalls as she had one hand in her pocket and the other on her cell phone.
The Grammy winner was smiling as if she was happy to be back home after a trip to Saudi Arabia for the F1 concert.
She stamped SUNDAY over the image.
The giveaway that she was still in the Bel-Air home was the special luxurious white mouldings and the pale beige wood floors which are a perfect match for the former Bennifer love-nest.

There was also pink flowers in a cream colored vase off to the side.
Lopez seemed to be having a cozy afternoon at home as Los Angeles was experiencing rare cold weather and rain.
The mansion, which Ben and Jennifer purchased for just over $60million, has been on the market for nearly a year.
They first listed the dwelling in July 2024.
Last week sources told TMZ that Affleck is eager to lower the price of the house while Lopez is not ready to do so, despite there not being much interest in the abode.
'Jennifer thinks they can get more money for the home, so she wants to keep the price as is. But the real estate market is not there and it's not selling,' an insider told Us Weekly .
Meanwhile Affleck is prepared to sell, no matter the final offer.
'Ben wants to get rid of it because their divorce is over and he wants to cut all ties and have it be done,' the insider stated. 'He just wants it over and to sell it. He wants to reduce the price.'
DailyMail.com has reached to Jennifer's rep for comment.
Some realtors have also informed TMZ that the $68M asking price is too high and needs to be dropped by at least 15% if the pair want to offload their marital home.
An agent told the publication that the two stars had overpaid for the estate - which consists of 12 bedrooms and 24 bathrooms.
But buyers who do have the finances to purchase a home around that price range are currently searching for deals in the market.
Insurance costs are also on the rise - with insiders telling the outlet that insurance for the Beverly Hills mansion is estimated to be around $500,000 annually.
Earlier this year in January, deadly wildfires spread throughout Southern California which has also resulted in fire insurance costs catapulting.
Last year in August - one month after the house was put on the market - Lopez and Affleck struggled to find a buyer, despite the renovations made .
The following month, the stars faced a devastating blow after they accepted an offer on the estate.
TMZ reported at the time that Ben and Jennifer received a $64 million offer from a New Jersey couple. However, they 'pulled out of escrow' due to a death in the family.
Selling Sunset star Jason Oppenheim told Realtor.com in October 2024: 'It would have been surprising for the house to sell in less than 100 days.'
In November she showed off her back yard.
The singer was promoting her new album This Is Me... Now as she walked on the lawn at the Bel-Air, California property that has views of the surrounding mountains.
The swimming pool costs around $150,000 because it is extra large - it is about three times larger than the average pool - and also has two costly features: infinity and zero edge.
Infinity means the water falls down into a lower pool and then is pumped back up - this creates a look like the pool never ends. Zero edge means the water comes right to top when you enter the pool, as in there is no lip. There is also a built-in hot tub at the far edge.
Her pool was also accented by several long white lounge chairs that were placed in the shallow end.
The siren from the Bronx was in one of the outfits for the album cover. She had on a beige hat, white tank top, layers of gold jewelry and baggy jeans with construction boot as she held onto a glass of her alcoholic beverage, Delola.
Her new album This Is Me... Now is about her rekindled love for Affleck after they ended their engagement about 20 years ago. There will also be a film to go with the new tracks which will come out on February 16, 2024.
She has been showing off her decadent new home on social media for months.
Often she poses around the impressive grounds.
This comes after the Maid In Manhattan movie star presented her Thanksgiving table not located in her dining room, but rather in the backyard of her home.
The table was long and rustic wood with green eucalyptus leaves everywhere along with lemons and oranges and hurricane lamps with white candles.
She also had Hermes gold-and-white plates which start at $200 for a salad plate and go up to $500 for a dinner plate. Lopez used two per person.
The Mother actress was promoting her alcohol brand Delola and she noted that the beverage is great because the products are already mixed inside so there is no need to blend.
She had in her hand the L'Orange Spritz which was Premium Amaro, Orange, and Passionfruit.
'An ode to the Italian spritz with notes of bright, delicious fruit perfectly balanced with the bitterness of amaro. Delola will set you free – free from cutting, squeezing and mixing. Simply pour Delola over ice and experience a world-class crafted cocktail,' she says online.
Lopez wore a belted khaki dress with black buttons. Her hair down in soft waves as she added hoop earrings.
The diva revealed a glimpse of the lush interior while posing in her hallway, as she was getting ready for the splashy LACMA Gucci event in Los Angeles.
Her home is filled with white surfaces with hints of silver and gold for a modern twist.
It's not the first time she has been seen in her supersized dwelling - the Bronx native has also taken videos in her kitchen, and posed in her living room and on her patio with views of her infinity pool.
The Hollywood power couple purchased the home with JLo overseeing all the decorating.
This summer the married couple handed over $60.85 million for the 46,000 square-foot mansion, according to TMZ.
The deal took just one week and the pair paid nearly $15 million under the $75 million asking price.
It first hit the market in 2018 for $135 million but that price was slashed nearly in half when it was re-listed this year.
The home — referred to as the 'Wallingford estate' — sits on a 5-acre promontory and boasts 12 bedrooms and 24 bathrooms.
The listing reveals that it was 'newly rebuilt and expanded' and features a 12-car garage and parking for 80.
There is also a 'one-of-a-kind' indoor sports complex, a 5,000 square-foot guest penthouse, a caretaker house and a two-bedroom guard house on the grounds.
With the indoor sports facility, Jennifer has a full gym at her disposal as well as courts for basketball, pickleball, and a boxing ring.
There is also a sports lounge and a bar.
TMZ reports that there is also a full hair and nail salon, a home theater, wine cellar, whiskey lounge, as well as sauna and massage rooms.
A zero edge pool is located behind the main house and overlooks the area.
There are two private, gated entrances to the property.
Brett Lawyer — who has worked with Katy Perry and Madonna — represented the couple in the sale.
Meanwhile, JLo Beauty has a surprise for fans.
There is a new Fresh and Flawless Skincare Kit which has been launched just in time for Mother's Day.
'The perfect routine for glowing skin, this kit features six formulas to brighten, firm and hydrate with lasting results,' the rep shared.
The special subscription price for the kit is USD $59.95 and includes 6 JLo Beauty products along w/ 3 free gifts: A jar of the brand's popular Beso Balm Ultra-Hydrating Lip-Mask and 2 That Limitless Glow Sheet Mask.

‘I'm not a robot' – Cole Palmer's mum tells him to be ‘more smiley' but Chelsea star is ‘laid back' like his dad
COLE Palmer admits his mum wants him to cheer up and show more emotion. But the Chelsea and England star says it takes something like a disaster on PlayStation for him to lose his famous cool - and even then only behind closed doors. 4 4 Palmer, who is preparing for England's World Cup qualifier against Andorra, said: 'My mum says to try and be a bit more involved and a bit more smiley and energetic and that. ' Me and my dad are just too laid back, I think. 'My dad says: 'He's just like me, so just leave him alone.' 'When did I last get angry? I don't know, maybe when I played PlayStation or something. 'I'm not just a robot like you think I am and don't show no emotion. 'When there's no cameras and I'm on the phone to my mates and I'm doing stuff I enjoy doing… 'Off the pitch I'm like this but then on the pitch…it's like a switch. 'I'm just being myself.' Palmer is so chilled that he can fall asleep at an F1 race. England boss Thomas Tuchel took the squad to the Spanish Grand Prix on Sunday and the Chelsea playmaker revealed: 'It was good. 'To do what-' - Cole Palmer left confused as he's asked to name his Premier League Mount Rushmore 'I went to the one in Abu Dhabi not long ago. But I fell asleep at that one. I don't know what it was. 'This one, I was awake.' Palmer's 'Cold' celebration and style of play make him an idol to young fans, regardless of which team they support. The Chelsea playmaker said: 'When you see kids and that doing what they're doing and saying that, it's nice.' Palmer is typically calm about his growing celebrity. But the born and bred Mancunian Palmer, who left Manchester City for the Blues in 2023, still finds living down south a challenge. Palmer previously commented on southerners being grumpy and said: 'They're all still moody. They're all still like that. 'I think because it's so busy, they're all stressed and that. It must be a southern thing. 'I don't live central. Sometimes I go into central London, but I couldn't live there.' 4 4

Cruz Beckham, 20, reaches milestone with girlfriend, 29, after Romeo's split
Cruz Beckham and his girlfriend Jackie Apostel have been dating for a year, amid the news that his brother Romeo Beckham has split from girlfriend Kim Turnbull As one Beckham boy nursed a broken heart, another celebrates a huge relationship milestone. Cruz Beckham, 20, and Jackie Apostel, 29, have now been together for a whole year, and the pair marking the huge milestone on social media. But Cruz and Jackie's happiness comes as his brother Romeo Beckham adjusts to life as a single man once again after his split from girlfriend Kim Turnbull. The news of Romeo Beckham's break-up with his Kim might just be the catalyst for mending relations between Brooklyn Beckham and his family, following weeks of tension and cold shoulders. But a family feud is the last thing on Jackie and Cruz's mind today as the happy couple rejoice in lasting a whole year. Sharing a snap of herself and her 20-year-old boyfriend on her Instagram Stories, Jackie told her followers: "My favourite person in the whole world." She added another snap of David and Victoria Beckham's youngest son and penned: "I love you even when you are morning grumpy." Cruz also shared a selection of snaps on his Stories, telling his girlfriend: "1 year down, many more to go". Jackie and Cruz's love-in comes as fans of the Beckham family hope Romeo's recent split could see Brooklyn Beckham reunite with his parents and siblings after a tense few weeks. Brooklyn, David and Victoria's eldest, and his wife Nicola Peltz have been noticeably distant from the rest of the Beckham clan of late - they even missed David's 50th birthday bash in April. It was rumoured that Romeo's choice of girlfriend was the spark that ignited this family rift. Earlier this year, whispers suggested that Brooklyn had once had a romantic connection with Kim, although Cruz Beckham reportedly stated in a now-deleted post that the pair "never dated". However, TMZ reported a couple of months ago that it was "all water under the bridge". They cited sources claiming that the issue stemmed from Brooklyn and Nicola questioning whether Kim had "the right intentions" when it came to dating Romeo. In the midst of all this drama, Romeo, 22, and Kim, 26, have decided to call time on their seven-month whirlwind romance. An insider has revealed that the pair "split a few weeks ago and it's all amicable and they are still friends". Many will be hoping that Romeo's change in relationship status will lead to a reunion between the Beckham brothers and a resolution of the family issues. However, they shouldn't get their hopes up too high. It's been said that Kim's involvement in the family drama isn't the reason behind the split - and David and Victoria Beckham, both 51, are keen to make that clear. Speaking to the Daily Mail, a source revealed that David and Victoria Beckham held Kim in high regard and believed she made their son Romeo "happy". The insider stated that despite the recent breakup a "couple of weeks ago", relations have "remained friendly". They divulged: "David and Victoria would hate for the view to be that they split because of Nicola and Brooklyn because that simply isn't the case. The fact is that Kim has got a really busy career as a DJ and Romeo has a busy work life too, there is lots of travelling for both of them at having a relationship at this time isn't all that conducive to their lives."

TV sports presenter reveals hospital health battle after ‘horrific' comments about her weight when she appeared on Formula One coverage
TV sports presenter Lee McKenzie has spoke out after being targeted by online trolls who made 'horrific' comments about her weight. McKenzie is a regularly presenter on both Channel 4 and the BBC and has worked on a variety of sports including F1, rugby and equestrian. The 47-year-old made an appearance for the broadcaster's coverage of the Spanish Grand Prix - in which Oscar Piastri claimed his fifth victory of the season - on Sunday. However, McKenzie's return was met by online trolls who commented on her physical appearance on the day and now the Channel 4 presenter has revealed that she had been struggling with 'health issues' in recent weeks. Taking to Facebook, she wrote: 'I've been thinking about whether I should post this but I will as it's not just about me, it's for all women and men too. 'Last month I went into hospital for an operation and I've been struggling with some health issues for a while now. 'As you see on here I'm a private person and I post about my work, not too much about life outside of work. I don't need or want attention or validation. 'But the comments about my appearance and weight at the Spanish Grand Prix have been horrific. I've had to turn off comments on my social media. It's worth saying they came from women and men alike. 'If you don't like what someone wears or looks like on television, feel free to think about it but why send it to them? Why contact someone to be deliberately rude? 'I'm a journalist and I'm good at my job and I'm furious that this affects me. But it does and there will be people out there getting similar abuse that are not as strong as me. Don't do it. 'The good news is that a larger operation that I thought I was going to get isn't needed at the moment and things can be treated with medication. Many people have this. It's not about being unwell. It's about the vile comments from women and men commenting on my appearance. 'My health is improving and I'm back at the gym. For me. Not for anyone else. Think before you write to someone'. The post has since been 'liked' by over 25,000 Facebook users and 22,000 of her Instagram followers. Accompanying the posts was a picture of McKenzie while at a previous F1 event and a selfie from the hospital bed - where she pose with a smile and a thumbs up. Elsewhere on the day, a dejected Lewis Hamilton made a brutal Ferrari admission after finishing sixth at the Spanish Grand Prix. The seven-time world champion is still waiting for his first podium since joining the Scuderia from Mercedes and was lost for words after his misery in Barcelona . Hamilton came home in seventh but was bumped up one place after Max Verstappen careered into George Russell , an incident which saw him demoted down to 10th. Unable to keep up with the two McLarens and Verstappen, Hamilton was told to let Charles Leclerc pass him early in the race, giving his team-mate a leg up as he went on to finish third, and he was overtaken by Nico Hulkenberg on the penultimate lap.
