JLo Raised Her Twins in Rare Country House before 'Emotional' Move to $61M Megamansion with Ben Affleck

• Jennifer Lopez and her husband, Ben Affleck, bought a massive mansion in Beverly Hills and moved in together.
• Before this move, Jennifer Lopez lived in a gorgeous and luxurious estate in Bel-Air.
• The videos and photos of the estate, which she sold, were shared online.

Jennifer Lopez and her husband, Ben Affleck, have kids with their previous partners. Lopez is a mom to twins Emme and Max, 15, whom she shares with her ex-husband Marc Anthony.

Lopez and Anthony share custody of their children, with the father seeing them seven days a month. The former couple has also agreed to split their custody on school vacations, birthdays, and holidays. They also decided to keep their children away from the paparazzi. On the other hand, Affleck has three kids with his ex-wife, Jennifer Garner.

Garner and Affleck co-parent their kids Violet, 17, Seraphina, 14, and Samuel, 11. When Lopez and Affleck married, the five kids became a big blended family. Garner, Affleck, and Lopez made the transition easy due to how well they co-parented.

The "Hustlers" star has never been shy to rave about how great of a father Affleck is. She said her children loved him and looked to him as a father figure. Lopez has been in many public relationships, and though she admitted that ending her marriage with Anthony was heartbreaking, she reckoned she learned a lot from her personal failures.

Therefore, moving forward, she wanted to work on her co-parenting relationship with her children's father. But when it comes to her career, she will never tire of putting in the extra hours.

Behind the curtains, Lopez is a loving mother who loves to cuddle up with her children, watch movies, and eat cookies. "She's an amazing mother," remarked a close source. Even when the mother of two is out on location shooting, some of her co-stars said she will always be on Facetime with her kids and leave a hard week of filming just to spend the weekend with them.

As a working mother, Lopez wants to communicate with her children constantly. Whether home or not, she finds a way for them to stay connected. The singer has celebrated many career milestones, but she never wants to call herself an icon; for her, it is about staying humble, evolving, and becoming a better mother.

Some of Lopez's co-stars also confirmed that she and the rest of her family were all humble. "They are all really kind and down-to-earth," said Constance Wu.

Before Lopez and Affleck tied the knot, the actress lived in her single pad in California. However, in February 2023, she listed the Bel-Air mansion and sold it for $34 million, cutting ties with the last part of her single life. Lopez had bought the property for $28 million in 2016.

Affleck also got rid of his house right after he married Lopez. After house hunting in California for months, the two purchased a massive mansion in Beverly Hills for $61 million. Lopez called moving in with her husband "an emotional transition" as their kids also moved in together.

All rooms in the house lead to large terraces with amazing views.

Still, it felt like all her dreams had come true, having Affleck by her side and their big blended family. The actress admitted that 2023 was a phenomenal year for her due to all these changes. "Best year I think since my kids were born," she noted.

The move into the new house reportedly had the moving crew working hard as they tried to get all the furniture the actors had into the house. Affleck and Lopez's belongings were reportedly piled in the driveway, but there's no doubt that their furniture will fit the massive estate.

The mansion Lopez lived in for years before she and Affleck got a place together is magnificent. When the actress listed the home for sale, online users got to peek at its interior and look at where Lopez spent her single years after her divorce from Anthony.

Lopez's Stunning Former Home

Lopez's former home was an 8-acre estate. It has a private lake and a sandy beach. Its exterior also features a pool, guest cottage, an outdoor amphitheater that fits 100 guests, a pagoda with a fire pit, and a putting green.

The colossal estate contains a 14,000-square-foot residence with nine bedrooms and 13 baths. The house, which has elements of French country style, features a home theatre, a bar, a gym, and a wood-paneled library. The second floor of the house was home to the study, massage room, and guest room.

Architect Samuel Marx originally designed the estate, which still has parts of its original outlook. The structures are built with stones and wood and surrounded by natural elements. Inside the gorgeous home are well-organized and perfected interior settings.

The living room is on the main level of the mansion. It has a fireplace, a bar, high ceilings, steel windows, and doors that lead to the stone terraces. All rooms in the house lead to large terraces with amazing views. The family room, which also serves as the game room, opens to a balcony with a 3-sided infinity edge pool.

The house has a formal dining room and a chef's kitchen, with a stone fireplace and a built-in breakfast zone. A 30-seat screening room is in the lower area of the house for movie nights. The upstairs region contains an office, massage, and guest room.

The primary suite wing is gorgeous. It has baths, dressing rooms for his and hers, a library, a fireplace and a sitting room. Other aspects of the estate that are eye-catching are private walking paths, secured destinations, a chemical-free vegetable yard, an open-air shower, a huge motor courtyard, and extra parking.

The expansive lawn areas are fenced with sample plants and grown trees. The grounds have enough space for plans for additional rooms and another structure. This sold estate provided Lopez and her kids with an exceptional lifestyle. Still, the massive mansion Lopez and Affleck have purchased in Beverly Hills will give them a much more luxurious lifestyle.
