So it's finally happening, JLo and Ben Affleck have found their dream home and the big move
is underway. The two were trying to buy a giant mansion a couple of months ago but when that
didn't work out they kept looking. Now they've been spotted on the move and the word is their
new mansion once belonged to Danny DeVito and then Mariah Carey's ex-fiance James Packer.
The estate was extensively renovated recently, boasting a total square footage of 29,000
square feet across 4 structures and a long list of luxe amenities. In these videos we don't reveal
any addresses and even though I've done a house tour of my own place, please do not show up at
any private residences because it's not safe for anyone. Last week moving trucks were spotted
outside of both Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez's respective homes. These two lovebirds have been
on the hunt for a place to live together for what feels like over a year now, in the midst of which
they even got engaged. Just a couple of short months ago it looked like these two had found
the perfect place, a 50 million dollar beauty that the couple went into escrow to purchase.
Unfortunately that deal fell through, leaving Ben Affleck to hit the market once again. But
these two were so determined that they wouldn't waste any time or expense. While they spent an
afternoon checking out the former childhood home of Tori Spelling, a 165 million dollar
monster of a mansion that will also take a peek at, it didn't turn out to be the perfect home for
the couple. Instead they kept searching and eventually discovered their new home and landed
it in an off market deal. Hey guys it's Kara back with another exclusive house tour here on
Famous Entertainment and today we'll take a look at the new home of Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez.
Don't forget to like, subscribe and hit me up on Instagram to chat and now let's get into this
video. In March of 2022 it was announced that Ben and Jen had entered escrow to purchase a pretty
substantial 50 million dollar property. In fact we even profiled their potential love nest in an
earlier house tour video. Well not long after this the deal fell through. It's not exactly clear what
happened or why but a buyer can pull out at any time during the inspection period. So maybe JLo
and Ben discovered something about the home that they didn't love or they decided that it wasn't
the right place for them. But hitting a snag in the road wasn't gonna put a damper on their hopes
of finding the perfect place together. Instead they kept looking. That's when in mid-April Ben and Jen
were spotted outside a truly epic mansion. I'm talking one worth a stunning 165 million dollar
price tag. Almost three times what they were gonna pay for the home that fell through. This huge
estate nicknamed the manor boasts 14 bedrooms, a whopping 27 bathrooms and it was previously owned
by TV legend Aaron Spelling, his wife Candy as well as their daughter Tori Spelling. After having
owned the home for a number of years Aaron sold the property to English socialite Petra Ecclestone
who then spent 20 million dollars renovating the property and turning it into the stunning work of
art it is today. Shortly thereafter Petra would sell it herself in 2019 pocketing a cool 120
million dollars in the process. Now that we've got a sense of the home's history let's take a look at
the estate itself. Crawling across 4.68 acres of land on one of the most in-demand streets in the
neighborhood known as Holmby Hills, this property's outdoor amenities are numerous. Not only does it
include a massive backyard there's also a swimming pool and spa, fountains, a full-sized tennis court
as well as citrus trees and rose gardens. While the home's exterior looks a lot like it did in the
1990s Petra updated the interiors to reflect her euro chic sense of style which included black and
white marble plus moody dark grays and silver set into its 56,000 square feet of space. Then
there's the stunning modern entrance hallway complete with dual winding staircases. It's the
kind of front hall most would dream of having. Moving on to the master suite it's over 5,000
square feet all on its own and the ensuite bath boasts a large heart-shaped mirror alongside a
free-standing tub located in the center of the room. Other luxurious amenities inside the home
include a library, numerous sitting rooms, gift wrapping rooms, flower cutting rooms, and a mansion
sized attic. But the highlights are probably the in-house hair salon, the indoor bowling alley,
as well as this crushed velvet style home theater. Well maybe all these extra features were just a
bit too much for JLo because she and Ben ultimately decided to pass on this place and keep searching.
After a couple more months of continuous house hunting it sounds like she and Ben finally found
it. Now it's reported that Jennifer and Ben's long hunt has finally come to an end. After
discovering moving trucks outside of both Ben and JLo's individual homes in LA, it had been
uncovered just where it is that they're moving to. According to sources Ben and JLo have secured a
gigantic Beverly Hills estate in an off-market deal from Mariah Carey's ex-fiance James Packer.
Not only did he formerly live here, once upon a time actor Danny DeVito called this place home
It's been hard to confirm this was the mansion Bennifer bought though because it was done in an
off-market deal. In fact, sources would go as far to say that the home was never even under
consideration of being shown to anyone else except for Ben and Jen. Which means if this
Hollywood power couple fell in love with the place, they must have made an offer that the
owner couldn't refuse. Multiple moving trucks were seen both at the new property and at JLo's
Bel Air home, while her white Cadillac Escalade was also parked outside their new alleged place.
During their long search, JLo and Ben were said to have a laundry list of A-list requirements
their new home would have to have, including things like a beauty salon and spa, at least a
2,000 square foot closet, his and hers bathrooms, two kitchens, only the finest materials, and high
end appliances, and of course a pool, a guest house, and an office. And according to everything
that's been uncovered about this mansion, it has all that, and then some. At this still early
point, details are slim, but it's said the estate boasts 14,000 square feet of space in the main
house, 7 bedrooms, dozens of sitting rooms, and an upscale marble kitchen. Initially, the estate
once had 1.77 acres of land, but when a couple of real estate developers lived here, they extensively
renovated it. These days, the estate is split in two, with the property spanning about 1.29 acres
and a total square footage of around 29,000 square feet across 4 structures. Also in the
main mansion, there's a spacious entertainment room, an elegant dining room, a games room,
and even a hair salon. Meanwhile, aside from the several guest houses on the property, there's also
the essential swimming pool and spa setup. If that's not enough, the 8 car garage looks
sufficient for JLo and Ben's car collection, which includes Jen's Rolls Royce Phantom Drophead and
Ben's Tesla Lexus RS, as well as about 3 other luxury cars and a handful of motorcycles. The
grounds also offer plenty of entertaining spaces and patios outside, as you might expect.
The compound was on the market back in 2018 for $85 million, 3 years after Danny DeVito sold it,
for about $28 million. This time, since it was in an off-market deal, the exact amount
Benefer spent on this estate is unknown. The rumour making the rounds is that the home is worth at
least $60 million, but considering what it was on the market for last time, it could very well
have been around $85 million or more. Well now that JLo and Ben have the home of their dreams,
all we have to wait around for next is the wedding. I mean, they could even host it here.
