Have Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck found a house yet?
Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck are already gardening and renovating their new $64 million home.
It looks as though Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck are already gardening and renovating their new $64 million property.
The house hunt is officially over — Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck are finally getting their new home.
The couple, who have put in an offer on at least two homes in recent months only to back out, have gone through with their purchase.
The mansion where the couple has finally decided to make their new family home is in the Pacific Palisades neighborhood in Rustic Canyon, Los Angeles, the same area JLo and Affleck had made an offer on a $34 million home earlier this year.
The new dream house
JLo and Ben visited the home they are preparing to move into, as they met with contractors and other workers to begin preparing the grounds and the home.
The celebrity pair showed up to the home dressed casually, with Lopez sporting cargo pants, an oversized turtleneck sweater, and her hair thrown up in a bun, while the ‘Good Will Hunting’ actor wore an orange plaid coat with jeans and Nike Air Jordans.
The couple surveyed the property with their phones and an iPad as they toured the expansive grounds.
The 1.13-acre property has eight bedrooms, 11 bathrooms, a gym, a movie theater, a games room, an elevator, a pool, and a fire pit.
The ‘Jenny From the Block’ singer and her Oscar award-winning husband had previously looked at a $34.5 million home in the same neighborhood, but pulled out of the deal just days before signing the contract without specifying a reason why.
A home for the whole family
JLo and Affleck had been looking for a new home for over a year, as they searched for a property with enough room for all their children.
The dynamic duo have taken steps to make their blended family more cohesive by having more family time, and making enough room for every one of them to be under the same roof at once.
JLo shares 15-year-old twins, Max and Emme, with Marc Anthony, and Affleck and Jennifer Garner share three children, 17-year-old Violet, 14-year-old Seraphina, and 11-year-old Samuel.
After their wedding, Lopez commented on ‘The Today Show’ that it has been an “emotional transition” to have the blended family come together, but at the same time, a “dream come true”.
“It’s just been a phenomenal year,” JLo said at the time. “Like, my best year, I think, since my kids were born.”
