Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck were about to go for a US$34.5 million house when investor and gaming financier Gregory Milken’s sprawling estate suddenly came on the market and they decided to upgrade

Since their fairy tale wedding in July 2022, the couple have been looking for a home that can accommodate their blended family, including children Max, Emme, Seraphina, Violet and Samuel

Ben Affleck sold his house for US$28.5 million late last year and Jennifer Lopez put her US$42.5 million Bel Air mansion up for sale in February.

Hello magazine reports the sprawling eight-bedroom, 11-bathroom mansion is located in the Pacific Palisades neighbourhood. The wealthy area is just north of Santa Monica and central Los Angeles. The couple pulled out of another pending deal on a house in the same neighbourhood after they put in an offer on this US$64 million mansion. Affleck and Lopez were initially in for a US$34.5 million home, but that price almost doubled when they viewed this estate.
