Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck find $34.5 million dream home
The celebrity couple, married for six months, have finally found their dream house in sunny Los Angeles.
Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck, who got married in July 2022, look to have found their marital home in a ritzy Los Angeles neighborhood already housing a litany of A-list celebrities. Reportedly the pair have already already signed a contract to secure the property,
The multimillion-dollar Pacific Palisades estate in Los Angeles was listed for $34.5 million, and JLo and Affleck were spotted touring the grounds of the 15, 100-square mansion.
The family tour
JLo, having just listed her $42.5 million-dollar Bel Air mansion, planned to move into a house big enough for herself and Affleck, as well as all of their children whenever they come to stay with them.
The couple brought along their family, including Affleck’s 14-year-old daughter Seraphina, who performed in an orchestra concert in LA last month that brought together the whole family, including her mother Jennifer Garner, and Lopez’s 14-year-old twins, Emme and Maximilian.
This home fits the bill
TMZ published photos of the stunning property, with what the listing describes as a “Hamptons-esque” home, set on an acre of land surrounded by Sycamore trees.
The property has a pool, a Jacuzzi, a six-car garage, an arched brick porte-cochere, a motor court, an outdoor kitchen, and a detached guest house.
Inside the home there are reportedly seven bedrooms, 13 bathrooms, six fireplaces, servants’ quarters, a gym and health spa, a wine cellar, and a home theater.
The house hunt
Affleck and Lopez secured the property after months of touring several other homes — some in a much higher price range.
The celebrity couple were close to buying late television businessman Aaron Spelling’s $165 million dollar Bel Air property in 2022, but they ultimately decided not to go through with it. The same house is now listed at $55 million.
Meanwhile, JLo is working on selling her home of six years, a French-style mansion in Bel Air with nine bedrooms. The ‘Love Don’t Cost a Thing’ singer listed the property in January 2023 for an asking price of $42.5 million.
