Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez were inside their large Beverly Hills property, where they were seemingly trapped inside, on June 9. Nevertheless, the two were not having a happy reunion with each other.
On the contrary, according to insiders who spoke with In Touch Weekly, the divorce negotiations between the former couple were "very tense" and were joined by their respective attorneys. Ben appeared to be with a stone-faced expression when he finally left at nine o'clock at night.
One source claimed that Ben and Jennifer’s mediation lasted for nine hours. “The talks obviously didn’t go well,” the insider said. On the previous day, Ben and Jennifer had put the mega-mansion, which was meant to be their permanent residence, up for sale.
“Ben never seemed happy living there. As soon as he and J. Lo moved in — after searching for months for the perfect home — the marriage started to go south. Suddenly they were alone in this big house, [which spans 52,000 square feet and has 17 bedrooms and 30 bathrooms] and they had to face reality: They weren’t seeing eye to eye on anything and were fighting more and more,” the informant shared.
According to the tipster, Ben, who is 51 years old, and Jennifer, who is 54 years old, put on a unified front while they were out in public, but behind closed doors, things were coming apart.
“The house felt so empty. They overdid it. It was almost like they were overcompensating for something when they bought this monstrosity. But J. Lo fell in love with the mansion, and Ben just wanted to make her happy,” the mole stated.
A much smaller space, Ben's prior bachelor home in the Brentwood region of Los Angeles was about 13,000 square feet in size. And when he moved out of the home that he and Jennifer had shared, he allegedly chose to rent a condominium that was 10,000 square feet in size and was located just two blocks away from Jennifer Garner, his first wife, who is 52 years old, as per Daily Mail.
Despite the fact that Jennifer identified herself as a domestic homebody in May through an interview with Harper's Bazaar, she stated, "I love to cook" and "I adore hosting at home, family and friends. While Jennifer and Ben, according to the snitch, "rarely had friends over," she enjoys having people around to their house. The majority of the time, it was just the two of them, with the exception of when the children decided to stop by.
Ben and Jennifer Garner are co-parents to Violet, 18, Fin, 15, and Samuel, 12, while Jennifer Lopez is the mother of twins Emme and Max, who are 16 years old. Marc Anthony, who is 55 years old, is Jennifer's ex-husband. “It’s almost as if Ben and J. Lo didn’t want anyone to see how unhappy they were behind closed doors,” the naysayer claimed.
In addition, the fact that Ben moved out is a significant factor, according to the source. “With a house that big, they could have lived in their own separate wings and probably never would have had to cross paths. But apparently Ben wanted to avoid a War of the Roses situation,” the insider claimed.
Ben and Jennifer, who have a combined net worth of $550 million, are currently in the process of selling their "dream home" for a price of $65 million. “How they’ll split the proceeds from the sale remains to be seen. But with that much money on the table, things could get extremely ugly,” the insider stated.
Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez have yet to comment on the claims that they have ongoing divorce talks. So, avid followers of the Hollywood couple should take all these unverified reports lightly until everything is proven true and correct.
