Jennifer Lopez splurges on M LA compound as she and ex Ben Affleck struggle to sell their marital mansion

Jennifer Lopez has secured a $21 million estate in Los Angeles as she settles into life post-Ben Affleck.

The 54-year-old superstar has planted roots in the exclusive Hidden Hills enclave, per TMZ, which also shared a pH๏τo of her new estate – just as Affleck has set up his own bachelor pad in Brentwood.

Her sprawling 2.5-acre estate boasts a 10,046-square-foot main house, a barn, stables, a riding arena, a guest house, and, of course, a pool, 

For a touch of modern luxury, the property also features a private theater, a chef’s kitchen, and a fully equipped gym.

Adding to its star-studded legacy, the estate was previously owned by Creedence Clearwater Revival founder John Fogerty, who purchased it from Sylvester Stallone before selling it to Lopez, according to the outlet.

Meanwhile, Lopez and Affleck have yet to offload their former marital home—a $61 million Beverly Hills estate they bought in May 2023.

Initially attempting an off-market sale, they later publicly listed the 38,000-square-foot mansion for $68 million in July. 

Known as Crestview Manor, the lavish estate includes a 12-bedroom, 24-bathroom main house, a 5,000-square-foot guest penthouse, a two-bedroom guardhouse, a caretaker’s house, and a 12-car garage. 

The property also boasts a home bar, gym, sports lounge, boxing ring, basketball and pickleball courts, and parking for up to 80 vehicles.

The former couple accepted a $64 million offer from a New Jersey buyer, but the deal fell through in September, leaving the mansion back on the market as of December 5. 

TMZ reported that while the buyers remain ‘interested,’ the home remains unsold.

A source told PEOPLE that Lopez and Affleck weren’t fully aligned when they bought the house. 

‘The $68 million mansion was Ben’s idea and a major compromise for her,’ the insider revealed, noting that its expansive layout was ideal for their blended family. 

However, Lopez reportedly preferred a more romantic, European-inspired aesthetic, while Affleck soon found the home’s location inconvenient for his Brentwood-based life and children.

After months of speculation about their crumbling marriage, Lopez filed for divorce in August, citing April 26, 2024, as their date of separation. 

Affleck moved into a $20 million Brentwood home in September, placing him closer to his ex-wife, Jennifer Garner, and their three children.

Lopez and Affleck’s rekindled romance, which began in 2021 after 17 years apart, saw them wed in a whirlwind Las Vegas ceremony in July 2022, followed by a star-studded celebration at Affleck’s Georgia estate. 

Now, as they navigate their split, both are charting their own paths—one lavish real estate deal at a time.
