Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez are in the final stages of hashing out the property settlement in their divorce, and they ALMOST had a lot of newfound cash to divide up, because TMZ has learned their marital house had a buyer.
Sources with direct knowledge tell TMZ ... a couple from New Jersey fell in love with their 38,000 square foot Beverly Hills area home and made a $64 million offer, which was accepted.
We're told the couple had a death in the family and pulled out of escrow, but our sources say they are still interested in the property.
At $64M, BA & JL are still underwater. They paid $61 million for the house back in May 2023 and spent several million on renovations. They will have to pay a hefty fee to the realtors and then a 5.25% mansion tax.
Nevertheless, there's still money to be distributed. Ben and J Lo initially paid cash for the estate, but subsequently took out a $20 million mortgage on the property.
As TMZ reported, Ben and J Lo showed up at their office building on the Sunset Strip Monday, along with disso queen Laura Wasser, who is mediating the property settlement.
Stay tuned.
