Suppose your dream is to move to Pacific Palisades, a neighborhood in the Westside region of Los Angeles, California. In that case, you might be able to buy Ben Affleck’s mansion for $30 million. The 49-year-old actor listed the home he purchased in 2018 to continue building a new life in Beverly Hills alongside his wife, Jennifer Lopez.

Ben purchased the property for $19 million to be close to the kids he shares with ex-wife Jennifer Garner — Violet, 16, Seraphina, 13, and Sam, 10. According to TMZ, Affleck began moving things in June, when five moving trucks were seen parked outside.

The mansion’s new residents will enjoy seven bedrooms and nine bathrooms located inside a 13,453 square feet property, as reported by Dirt. The publication also informed the property is “obscured by a row of small trees planted amid carefully sculpted shrubs” and is located above “the swanky Riviera Country Club.”

The family room is next to a dining and lounging patio with in-ceiling heaters, a fireplace, and a flat-screen TV. If one family room isn’t enough, buyers can choose from a second family room, a home office, a custom-fitted walk-in closet in the main suite; a wellness room; a home theatre; a finished basement that contains a recreation room, a gym, and a climate-controlled wine cellar, and many more amenities.

During the summer, the homeowner will enjoy a flat backyard and a swimming pool with a slide. When they get hungry, they can cook in the outdoor kitchen and let people stay over at the poolside guest house.

The Afflecks, who are planning a big celebration of their marriage with friends and family in Georgia, tied the knot most romantically and unexpectedly—taking place at A Little White Chapel in Las Vegas over the weekend, following more than 18 years since calling off their first engagement.

One of the employees at the chapel, Kenosha Portis, revealed that she was thrilled to witness their special day. “It was so exciting. I mean, we were getting ready to close, and we had a special guest arrive as a walk-in,” she admitted to Good Morning America.

Jennifer and Ben announced their engagement in April after rekindling their romance in 2021. “It turns out love is patient. Twenty years patient,” Lopez wrote, referring to all the time they spent apart after breaking up in 2003. “Stick around long enough, and maybe you’ll find the best moment of your life in a drive-through in Las Vegas at 12:30 in the morning in the tunnel of love drive-through, with your kids and the one you’ll spend forever with,” the Marry Me star said. “Love is a great thing, maybe the best of things — and worth waiting for.”
