Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck quietly listed their Beverly Hills mansion – design experts explain what sets their property aside
The couple's $60.8 million home is reportedly on the market – these are our favorite rooms and how they tap into some of the biggest design trends
Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck have reportedly listed their marital home – a $60 million architectural phenomenon, complete with a wine cellar, spa, and zero-edge pool. However, it will come as no surprise that even the living and cooking areas have set the standard for modern interior desgin and Californian luxury.
According to TMZ, JLo and actor Ben Affleck have enlisted real estate agent Santiago Arana from The Agency to sell the property, which they purchased in June 2023. The couple spent nearly two years, searching over 80 properties, before they settled on the mansion. However, reports say that Affleck has moved out of the home and into a rental in Brentwood while their marriage is in trouble.
As the publication shares, JLo and Affleck are asking 'around $65 million' for their megamansion. They will also have to pay a broker's commission and a new tax that's enforacble on expensive properties, meaning they'll likely sell the renovated home at a loss.

In the year that Lopez and Affleck spent in their home, the singer treated us to glimpses of their most beautiful rooms, including, our favorite space: the kitchen. Seen above, the space feels ultra contemporary (especially through the glossy gray kitchen cabinets that feel wholly modern – however, the addition of lavender filled baskets bring a sense of French-country style to their cooking area.
'Jlo has introduced an unconventional focal point in the most unexpected of spaces,' comments Homes & Gardens' digital editor Jennifer Ebert. 'In collecting wicker baskets with dried flowers and hanging them above her kitchen island, she has created something strikingly rustic, and we can't stop looking at how it creates a juxtaposition in such a modern space. It pays tribute to the rustic French design aesthetic, and despite the modern setting, it fits oddly perfectly.'

Alongside her kitchen, JLo has continued the blend of traditional yet modern design trends throughout other spaces in her home – notably in the dining room, as seen above. However, it's not all it has in common with the kitchen.
Like the kitchen, the dining space similarly exhibits a gray hue – this time with a gray-green twist. This shade has given gray, as we know it, a new lease of life – and it's a shade that's so versatile that design experts, including Ebert, have labeled it a 'new neutral.'

'This type of gray is versatile enough to hold a perennial label,' she says. 'Its inherent timelessness, neutrality, and ability to blend with other hues mean its popularity is unlikely ever to waver.'
