PICTURED: Jennifer Lopez drops M on LA mansion as she and ex Ben Affleck struggle to offload marital home

Jennifer Lopez has secured a lavish $21 million estate in Los Angeles as she moves on from her relationship with Ben Affleck.

The 54-year-old superstar has settled into the exclusive Hidden Hills neighborhood, according to TMZ, which also shared a glimpse of her impressive new property. 

This comes as Affleck has already found his own bachelor retreat in Brentwood.

The sprawling 2.5-acre estate features a 10,046-square-foot main house, along with a barn, stables, a riding arena, a guest house, and a pool. For added luxury, the home boasts a private theater, a chef’s kitchen, and a fully equipped gym.

The property also has a touch of Hollywood history, having once been owned by John Fogerty of Creedence Clearwater Revival, who purchased it from Sylvester Stallone before selling it to Lopez.

Meanwhile, Lopez and Affleck are still struggling to sell their $61 million Beverly Hills mansion, which they purchased 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.
