Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez have been together for a year. While fans have been ecstatic that the couple rekindled their romance that began around 2003, but they split later, there is still better news as the couple are reportedly in escrow. They should be moving into a massive mansion in Bel Air, California. It costs over $50 million and is said to be a 20,000 square foot estate. The couple had earlier looked at property in Beverly Hills and other areas in Los Angeles.
Real estate sources told TMZ that Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck were buying a huge estate in the exclusive Bel Air area in Los Angeles. The mansion has 10 bedrooms and 17 bathrooms. And that is not all! It has more than one kitchen as well, a theater, a gym and more.
There is a his and hers bathtub as well as an infinity edge pool. There are garage spaces attached to the house. The house is surrounded by trees, offering a lot of privacy. However, it also has a compelling city view.
The sources said that the deal has not as yet been completely finalized. The property is owned by Texan billionaire Todd Lemkin and was listed for $65 million. However, the couple will reportedly pay somewhere in the mid-50 million dollars range, according to the outlet.
Ben and Jennifer who have children each from former spouses, intend to bring all their children to the mansion. The 52-year old singer has twins–Max and Emme with ex-husband Marc Anthony. The 49-year old actor and director has three children–Violet, Seraphina and Samuel with ex-wife Jennifer Garner.
Jennifer Lopez was living in Miami, earlier. However, as their romance blossomed again, in April 21, the couple began house hunting in Los Angeles. In February, on an appearance on the Today show, Jennifer Lopez said that both of them had learned that when a person was lucky enough to find love, “you have to hold a little bit of that privately.”
