00:00So, uh, the Dias cast, uh, J-Lo and Ben Affleck are getting divorced and we have the proof.
00:05We broke a story over the weekend.
00:07They are selling the marital mansion they bought almost a year ago to the day.
00:13Um, Ben has already moved out.
00:16She is looking for her own home and that mansion is now on the market.
00:21A mansion that they, they worked so hard to find for months.
00:25No, no, no.
00:26Two years.
00:27Was it two years?
00:28Two years.
00:30It has been two years.
00:31They looked at over 80 properties, settled on this one.
00:34Well, they looked for about a year before they found that one.
00:37They were looking for two years.
00:38I mean, they actually were looking before.
00:40Yeah, it went on forever.
00:42Well, it doesn't matter now, uh, because it has been listed, uh, and actually they listed
00:46it with someone at the agency, uh, Maurizio Imanski's, uh, agency.
00:51And their realtor is Santiago Arana, big realtor and the agency, um, has quietly listed it.
00:57It's an off the market listing.
00:59They are asking around $65 million.
01:02Thing is.
01:03That's a loss.
01:04Well, yeah.
01:05Even though they bought it for 60.
01:06They bought it for a little over 60.
01:07It's a loss because in LA now you have a mansion tax, which is millions and millions of dollars.
01:13You've got realtor's fees.
01:15And I, I didn't know this until this weekend.
01:18They did a ton of improvements on the house.
01:20Oh, really?
01:21Yeah.
01:22And so they're going to lose millions of dollars if they, so that, so that's not a great time
01:25to buy this.
01:26To be selling it.
01:28Right.
01:29And I think that shows you that how dire things are in the marriage.
01:32The fact that they'd be willing to take that kind of a loss just to move on.
01:37Well, they have, they have to at this point because, um, I believe there is a mortgage
01:41on this property still.
01:42I mean, I don't think there was when they bought it, but I think there's a mortgage
01:46on this property and, um, and they're just going to be sinking more and more money.
01:52Everybody says, well, they're so rich.
01:53It doesn't matter.
01:54It does matter.
01:56And we're actually doing a documentary, um, that's going to air on the, on Fox network
02:01on Sunday night.
02:02It'll be on Hulu Monday morning on JLo and Ben, the warning signs about this.
02:07And we're going to be talking about one of the things is they spend a ton of money.
02:13So it's not like, oh yeah, it's just 60 million.
02:15It matters to them.
02:16Yeah.
02:17It really matters.
02:18Why?
02:19How could it not to spend that kind of money?
02:20Um, so we, you know, let me tell you the weird thing about it is that that's the obvious
02:25sign, right?
02:26Once we broke that story, you say, and we'd seen all the breadcrumbs being dropped for
02:31weeks.
02:32Ben living in this other house and them having sort of awkward meetings in public, air kisses,
02:38the air kisses.
02:39Exactly.
02:40Uh, but then, uh, the next day on Sunday, Jennifer went out to dinner Saturday night,
02:45Saturday night, Saturday night, Georgia Baldy, and, uh, she was still wearing her wedding
02:51ring.
02:53And by the way, the day before Ben Affleck was out looking miserable, I might say, but
02:57also wearing his wedding ring.
03:00So look, I can't explain it, but I can tell you, we know that they are, they've been trying
03:06to sell the house for two weeks.
03:07This isn't just yesterday.
03:08Right.
03:09They've been trying to sell it for two weeks, quietly showing it.
03:13So I got to say, the other thing that, you know, we get into in this documentary a lot
03:17is just, look, they broke up 20 years ago.
03:20Right.
03:22And when we kind of pieced all of this together, there are so many warning signs that this
03:27was not going to work out.
03:29And we, you and I talked about this when they, when they got back.
03:32They got back together.
03:33Right.
03:34And it just seemed like, um, it was almost like they were just the public love for them
03:40to be back together, that they were in love with that idea.
03:43They were in love with that idea, but also separately, he hates publicity and she loves
03:50publicity and just the way their lives are just, they don't mesh particularly well.
03:56There's a lot of passion.
03:57You can't keep that passion up in day to day life.
04:00Day to day.
04:01You're not, that's been one of the big, big problems.
04:05So I have a question.
04:06So you're saying warning signs and maybe it's just their lifestyles and their personalities,
04:11but I've brought this up before and it kind of, it kind of got poo-pooed at the time.
04:14You go back and you look at these paparazzi photos and these videos of them over the past
04:18like year and a half where they're out in public, Ben looking miserable, them seemingly
04:22arguing at times.
04:23We've seen that plenty of times.
04:25Would you count that as a warning sign?
04:27Because on his face, I would say, yeah, that's a, that's like a clear sign that they were
04:30already struggling or is this going to get poo-pooed again?
04:33No, it's not going to get poo-pooed.
04:36But I think those warnings started long before they even got back together the second time.
04:41But you're right.
04:42And we actually get into that in the documentary that, you know, he says, this is my resting
04:46face.
04:48There are psychologists who beg to differ that this is all just resting face and we
04:54do get into that.
04:55So props to Fabian.
04:56Hi, I'm Haley Brooke from North Carolina and I think the fans clocked it really early during
05:03the documentary that already came out about JLo and she recently canceled her concert
05:08and it was at 78% being sold out.
05:12So things are definitely not going well over with JLo.
05:17No, she's, she's having a really terrible year.
05:21I mean, because, and you got to remember too, I mean, there are kids involved here, there's
05:25blended families that are now splitting up.
05:28So it is a real difficult situation for them.
05:30But again, you can, if you want to watch this, we have this documentary on Sunday night and
05:36then on the network, Fox network, and then the next day on Hulu next Monday.
