The American singer, actress and model began dating actor Ben Affleck in 2002. They met during the filming of the movie ‘Gigli’. However, their relationship broke up only two years later, mainly due to the harassment of the celebrity press, which was obsessed with this couple of celebrities.
Affleck even stated that he did not think it was possible to have a relationship with Jennifer Lopez again because of the bad experiences they had, but time has disproved him. They got back together less than a month ago, and it looks like they’re serious, as one of the first things they did as a couple was to buy a spectacular mansion in Los Angeles Mansion in Los Angeles. Find out what it’s like!
Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck’s new mansion
This spectacular house is located on a discreet plot of almost 10,000 square meters, surrounded by trees and overlooking the golf course of Bel Air, one of the most ostentatious neighborhoods of the Californian city of Los Angeles. It belonged to a billionaire Texas fund manager named Todd Lemkin, who has sold his property to the couple for $55 million. The truth is that the seller closed a good deal, as he bought this same house for 27.6 million in 2016.
The mansion already has a name: Beniffer, a very funny and endearing play on their names. It was built in 1936 by the American architect Paul Revere Williams, known for designing numerous mansions for celebrities in the past such as Frank Sinatra or Lucille Ball. This is not the first house Jennifer Lopez has purchased in Bel-Air, as a few years ago she bought another one for 28 million. In this way, the couple has increased their real estate portfolio.
Characteristics of the Bennifer house
The mansion rises on three levels and has 10 bedrooms and 17 bathrooms in total. It also includes a movie theater, a wine cellar, a basement with a multimedia room, a gymnasium and separate quarters for security personnel. As if this were not enough, the property also includes an annex house for guests. It has four kitchens: the main kitchen, the catering kitchen, the guest kitchen and an outdoor kitchen in the back for outdoor cooking when the good weather arrives.
The garden of the house has a carefully manicured lawn and an infinity pool: a pool that produces the visual effect of having no limit or that it extends to the horizon. In short, it is a property that has everything and is completely secluded from civilization. With their purchase, the couple has celebrated that they are back together in style, as the mansion is located in the same neighborhood where other iconic singers and actors such as Nicolas Cage and Beyoncé have purchased homes.
