After almost two years of house-hunting, Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck have bought a home together in Beverly Hills. It cost them $60,850,000. The gorgeous 38,000-square-foot modern estate on Wallingford Drive, near Benedict Canyon Drive, has 12 bedrooms, 24 bathrooms, and a 12-car garage.

Tucked away from the noise of city life, the five-acre property features a vast sports complex with basketball, pickleball, a fully functional gym, a boxing ring, and a sports lounge and bar. The mansion also has a tennis court and a zero-edge pool.

As per TMZ, the couple paid for the home in cash and closed the deal in a week. The home was up for sale for $135 million in 2018. It was relisted in 2023 for around $75 million. The famous couple took the opportunity and bought the house at a discounted rate.

The house was originally owned by actor Danny DeVito and Mariah Carey's ex-fiance James Packer. It is in a gated community and is located about eight minutes from the Beverly Hills Hotel and around 20 minutes from Van Nuys Airport.

JLo's luxury cars were spotted outside the mansion with many trucks moved in and out of the property gates.

How Did The Lovebirds Meet?

The two stars met on the set of Gigli, a romcom that was released in 2003. The movie didn't do well but turned out to be a milestone in the couple's private life. At the time JLo was still married to her second husband Chris Judd. However, JLo and Affleck soon announced their relationship, which was followed by her divorce from Judd.

In an interview with People in 2016, the actress and singer said, "We didn’t try to have a public relationship,” she said. “We just happened to be together at the birth of the tabloids, and it was like ‘Oh my God.’ It was just a lot of pressure".

"I felt like … ‘Okay, this is it, she said. “[But] sometimes I feel like what you think people are and how you see them when you love them is different than when they reveal later, " she added.
