00:00And now it's time for Good News, Bad News!
00:04Starring Ben, Jen, and their overpriced house for sale!
00:08Let's start with the good news!
00:09They actually went into escrow, a family from New Jersey, was really interested in the property,
00:14loved it.
00:15They put an offer in for $64 million, they're asking $68.
00:19Congratulations!
00:20They're getting closer to untangling their lives together!
00:24Wait, what's the bad news?
00:26Fortunately, this family had a death in their family, so they pulled out of escrow.
00:32This thing's never gonna end, but not all is lost!
00:36We're told they're still interested.
00:38Not to mention it shows people want the house!
00:40I was told by a lot of realtors that they had priced it way too high and they were never
00:43gonna sell it.
00:44But now there seems to be hope!
00:46Well here's the problem with it.
00:47As long as that house sits in the market, there are unresolved issues with the marriage.
00:53So it's important to them, forgetting about money, to get it all wrapped up.
00:57And speaking of their divorce...
00:59So they are negotiating this property settlement right now.
01:03And yesterday, Ben and Jen showed up along with Laura Wasser, who represents every celebrity
01:10in every divorce.
01:11And she's mediating this property settlement, we're told.
01:14Yes!
01:15The diso queen is on the scene!
01:18Do these celebrities just snap their fingers and she just a poof appears?
01:22You just click your heels and you say Wasser, Wasser, Wasser.
01:25She's that good.
01:26But despite their divorce moving forward, they're still friends.
01:30They really love each other and wanted so badly to make this work.
01:35It couldn't work.
01:37Just like their movie Geely.
01:39Good luck selling the house, Ben and Jen!
