Lopez and husband Ben Affleck have been trying to sell their shared Beverly Hills property since June. Affleck closed on a new $20 million home on July 24
Upon returning from an extended stay in the Hamptons and a vacation in Europe before that, the Atlas star, 55, is resuming her hunt for a property in Los Angeles. She recently looked at a home in Beverly Hills, a source tells PEOPLE is “truly exceptional.” The listing offers a high level of privacy on a quiet street with A-list neighbors, according to the insider.
It’s an “ideal setting for those seeking seclusion,” the source says.
Lopez toured another home back in May and has been quietly “looking on and off,” the source adds, noting that the star has also been viewing properties that are not officially on the market, a common practice for ultra-high end real estate.
PEOPLE previously confirmed that her husband Ben Affleck, 51, had finalized the purchase of a new $20.5 million property, coincidentally closing on Lopez’s birthday, July 24.
The couple have been trying to sell the Beverly Hills mansion they’ve shared since purchasing it for just under $61 million in May 2023. They initially offered it off-market in June, but after struggling to find an interested buyer, they chose to list it publicly for $68 million in early July.
The 12-bedroom, 24-bathroom, 38,000-square-foot estate was “recently renovated with the highest level of quality,” according to its listing, and features amenities such as a bar, sports lounge, fully equipped gym, boxing ring and courts for basketball and pickleball.
Celebrity realtor Josh Flagg, who is not associated with the home, told PEOPLE earlier this month that as Affleck and Lopez are publicly listing the home for “relatively close to what they paid for it” they’re likely “going to either break even or take a small loss.”
Lopez and Affleck have been spending their summer apart amid reports of strain in their marriage.
The singer spent time on Long Island, where she has a home, including celebrating her birthday with family and friends at a a Bridgerton-themed fête, and hanging out with her twins Emme and Max, 16, whom she shares with ex Marc Anthony, as well as with her stepdaughter, Violet Affleck, 18, whose mom is Ben’s ex Jennifer Garner.
