Amid claims from insiders that “a divorce is imminent” between Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck, TMZhas revealed that the Hollywood power couple has already hired a realtor to help them sell the home they share.

Lopez and Affleck hired Santiago Arana from The Agency, who has allegedly been “showing the house for around two weeks” with no buyer in sight yet. The timing also aligns with the period the divorce rumors about the couple began swirling.
