Meanwhile, Lopez has sold her Manhattan penthouse at 21 East 26th Street for $23 million, The Real Deal reported. Lopez had most recently asked $25 million for the apartment after having listed it on and off since 2017. The buyer was an anonymous LLC from West Palm Beach, according to records.
Chris Pomeroy and Richard Orenstein of Brown Harris Stevens represented the listing. The apartment is situated in the 1924-built row house known as The Whitman; previous notable residents include Chelsea Clinton and race car driver Jeff Gordon.

Affleck and Lopez, who were married in July 2022, purchased their joint home in the Wallingford Estates neighborhood of Beverly Hills for $61 million last June after a year of house hunting. About two months ago, the couple started to shop the property off-market but opted to put it on the market one month later. The home is currently listed for $68 million, with Santiago Arana of The Agency repping the property.
