Ben Affleck's 'Fighting' Jennifer Lopez On $64 Million Mansion As Couple Squabbles Over Securing Permanent Home
Newlyweds Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez are bickering over their $64 million mansion as the Batman star fears his dreams of owning the 16,000-square-foot property they are currently under contract to buy will be squashed by his wife, RadarOnline.com has learned.
Bennifer 2.0 is in escrow on the eight-bedroom, 14-bathroom mansion in Pacific Palisades, CA. They have already backed out of several deals, including pulling out of a nearby $34.5 million home last minute.
According to an insider, Affleck is deadset on going through with their promise and buying the $64 million mega-mansion — but J Lo isn't sold on it.
“Ben is fighting for it. He really wants this house,” the source told Page Six, adding that he loves the affluent neighborhood; however, his wife is ready to walk away for a fourth time.
RadarOnline.com told you first — Affleck and J Lo's house hunt has been a nightmare of power plays and fights, with the Argo actor deadset on having a man cave in their new home.
Sources snitched that their decision to pull out of the $34.5 million purchase while in escrow was because they couldn't agree on where Ben's dream den should go — and his vision didn't fit J Lo's décor ideas.
"Jennifer has strong-armed Ben on just about everything else, but this is one issue he refuses to back down on," an insider spilled.

"All Ben wants is a man cave with an excellent entertainment system where he can hang with friends and decompress," the source said. "But Jennifer has a very definite idea of how the house should be: clean lines, open living spaces, white walls, plush rugs, and floor-to-ceiling windows. She wants the décor tastefully done to her specifications — and Ben's jukebox and ping-pong table just won't fit!"
The pair were recently spotted at the $64 million property on March 11 — and they didn't look happy. Sources told RadarOnline.com that their search for a new home isn't the only issue Bennifer has been fighting about.
