Ben & J.Lo's Home Hunt Headache: Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck's Struggles to Find the Perfect Mansion
Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck are on a mission to find their dream home, but the journey has been anything but smooth. The couple, who recently tied the knot, have now fallen out of escrow on their third mansion in a row, according to Star Magazine USA.
According to an insider, J.Lo discovered "too many faults" with a $64 million Pacific Palisades property they initially planned to purchase. With the pair also having second thoughts on a $55 million Bel-Air property and a $34.5 million Pacific Palisades estate, the ongoing search is "driving Ben crazy," the insider claims.
"Jen keeps changing her mind and won't be satisfied until she finds her dream home. She might love a place and see its potential, and then she'll want to knock down walls and re-landscape, things that cost millions and will be impossible to get approved by the city," the insider adds.
At 53 years old, Jennifer admits she's cautious when it comes to settling down in a family home. She's previously mentioned that integrating her children (twins Max and Emme, 15) with Ben's (Violet, 17, Seraphina, 14, and Samuel, 11) requires "a process that needs to be handled with so much care." However, applying the same level of caution to their house hunt has become "a major source of contention," according to the insider.
The couple's endless disagreements over their future home have led to speculation about the state of their relationship. "Ben and Jen have been arguing nonstop. If they can't commit to buying a home together, what does that say for their relationship, people wonder?" the insider questions.
Despite the challenges, Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck continue their quest to find the perfect abode. With both stars having strong opinions and high expectations, it remains to be seen whether they'll be able to agree on the perfect property to call home.
