Beniffer 2.0 real estate unrest continues with JLo selling NYC penthouse 7 years after it was put on market

Although the pair are still entangled in marital woes, Lopez has finally moved on from one aspect of her past. The “Marry Me” star reportedly sold her Madison Park penthouse in New York City recently for $23 million, according to city property records released on Monday. The final sale came seven years too late after the singer first put it on the market, per The New York Post’s reporting. The news of JLo’s duplex sale comes just days after husband snapped up a new $20 million Los Angeles property after they seemed to have been living separately since May.

Reports of the real estate shuffle between them have only led to swelling speculations around their marital status. However, the “Gigli” costars haven’t publicly commented on any aspect of the various headlines about them swirling online.

Earlier this month, a source told Us Weekly that Bennifer were in a “rush to sell” their shared 12-bedroom Beverly Hills mansion. “Ben especially wants to be done with the house. He was never happy there,” the outlet reported.
