Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez are giving up on their mission to offload their Beverly Hills marital mansion one year after putting it up for sale.
The 52-year-old actor and the “Love Don’t Cost A Thing” singer, aged 55, acquired their shared home in May 2023, paying $60.8 million outright, just shy of their first anniversary.
They broke up the following year, listing the home for $68M in July after they were unsuccessful in selling it off the market.
As they struggled to get the property off their hands, they subsequently lowered the price by $8 million.
According to the outlet, real estate records now show the sprawling property has been removed from the market, per People.

The 52-year-old actor and 55-year-old actress bought their house for $60.8 million in cash in May 2023, as they approached one year together; a photo of JLo taken in May.
The Kiss of the Spider Woman actress filed for divorce from Ben on their two-year wedding anniversary last August.
Ben shares Violet, 19; Fin, 16; and Samuel, 13, with ex-wife Jennifer Garner, 53.
Meanwhile, Lopez shares fraternal twins Emme and Max, 17, with ex-husband Marc Anthony.
A Zillow listing describes the estate as ‘recently renovated with the highest level of quality.’
Features listed include a boxing ring and sports lounge, fully equipped gym, basketball and pickleball courts, and a bar.
There is also a 12-car garage, guest penthouse, caretaker house and a two-bedroom guardhouse.
Last month an insider exclusively told the Daily Mail, ‘Ben and JLo slashed the price on their Beverly Hills mansion for $8 million less than they paid for it, but this is nothing to Ben.’
‘He really just wants this to be sold so that he can cut the final cord that keeps him and Jennifer intertwined,’ it was added.

Affleck spent last Sunday house-hunting for bachelor pads in the Brentwood neighborhood not far from Garner’s $7.8M four-bedroom Brentwood Park home.
It’s been a year since Affleck closed escrow on his last property, a $20.5M five-bedroom Brentwood mansion, after separating from second wife Jennifer.
Meanwhile, Jennifer has started home renovations to her new $17.5M five-bedroom Hidden Hills mansion.
DailyMail’s source said Ben and Jennifer’s shared abode ’caused drama’ in their marriage because the Argo director ‘never wanted to shell out that much for this home to begin with.’
‘[Ben] knows [Jennifer] will always have a presence in his life with their kids remaining best friends, but this house is the one last thing that is a symbol of their marriage,’ the person close to the couple continued.
