Jennifer Lopez begins major renovation on $21 million Hidden Hills estate as she starts a fresh chapter following her divorce from Ben Affleck

Jennifer Lopez isn’t just moving on—she’s reinventing her surroundings in true J.Lo style.

After finalizing her divorce from Ben Affleck earlier this year, the 55-year-old superstar has thrown herself into a major home renovation project.

Her latest focus? Transforming her stunning new $21 million estate in Hidden Hills, California, into a personal sanctuary.

And she’s not holding back. From top to bottom, Lopez is giving the home what insiders are calling a “sexy glow-up.”


Inside J.Lo’s Hidden Hills Paradise

Jennifer’s new digs aren’t just luxurious—they’re massive.

Spanning over 10,000 square feet, the estate features a main house, a guest house, and a pool house.

It sits on 2.5 lush acres and includes everything from a private theater and a chef’s kitchen to a gym, a barn, and stables.

“This house is a big deal,” a source close to the star shared.

“She’s making it her own in every possible way—everything from the design to the vibe has to feel like her. She wants it light, bright, and flirty.”

Her new neighbors? Just a few familiar faces like Kim and Khloe Kardashian, as well as Kris and Kylie Jenner.


A Custom Touch—Because That’s Just J.Lo

According to insiders, giving her homes a personal spin is nothing new for Lopez. “She customizes every house she lives in,” the source said. “It’s not just about luxury—it’s about creating the J.Lo look. She has incredible taste and always knows exactly what she wants.”

The makeover is also about creating a peaceful environment—something she’s been craving post-divorce.

“She wanted to get out of the city’s chaos and into a calmer space for herself and her kids,” the insider added.


Peace, Privacy, and Parenting

The move to Hidden Hills is as much about security and parenting as it is about design.

With gated access, top-tier surveillance, and 24/7 security personnel, the location offers a level of privacy Lopez values deeply.

“She doesn’t have to worry about Max riding his bike or Emme going for a walk—it’s a really safe environment,” said the source.

Interestingly, Lopez isn’t new to the area—she previously lived in nearby Calabasas back in 2001 during her marriage to Cris Judd.


A Busy Summer Ahead

While she’s settling into her new home, Lopez won’t be spending the entire summer there.

She’s hitting the road for her Up All Night: Live in 2025 tour, which kicks off July 4 in Sharm El Sheikh, Egypt, and wraps up on August 7 in Istanbul, Turkey.

She’s also returning to the Las Vegas stage for select shows—fitting, since she’s no stranger to Sin City’s spotlight.

And with her 56th birthday coming up on July 24, this summer promises to be a whirlwind.


Letting Go of the Beverly Hills Mansion

Meanwhile, she and Ben Affleck are still trying to offload their former marital home—a $61 million Beverly Hills estate they bought in 2023.

Despite a flashy 38,000-square-foot layout, 12 bedrooms, 24 bathrooms, and even a boxing ring, the property remains unsold.

A $64 million deal fell through in September, and though a New Jersey buyer remains interested, the home is still on the market as of December.


The Split: A Look Behind the Curtain

While Jennifer has poured her energy into home renovation and music, Affleck recently spoke publicly about the breakup.

In an interview with British GQ, he described the split as free from scandal or drama, calling it “not a blame game” but rather something personal and vulnerable.

The couple’s different views on fame reportedly played a role.

“My personality is more reserved,” Affleck admitted. “She embraces the spotlight more than I do.”

Their contrasting approaches were especially clear during Lopez’s documentary The Greatest Love Story Never Told, in which Affleck appeared visibly uncomfortable.

He later explained that while he wanted to support her, the experience challenged his desire for privacy.


A Love Story That Couldn’t Go the Distance

Lopez and Affleck’s relationship famously reignited in 2021, nearly two decades after their original engagement ended.

They tied the knot in a surprise Las Vegas wedding in 2022, followed by a lavish celebration in Georgia.

But by April 2024, they had separated. Lopez filed for divorce in August, and Affleck has since moved into a $20 million home in Brentwood to stay close to his three children with ex-wife Jennifer Garner.

Despite the breakup, Affleck insists the relationship wasn’t a failure.
“I have so much respect for her,” he said, urging fans not to read too much into the documentary or speculate on the causes behind their split.


A New Era for Jennifer Lopez

Now, as Lopez pours herself into creating a new life and home, it’s clear she’s turning the page with intention.

Her Hidden Hills estate isn’t just a house—it’s a fresh start, a place to breathe, create, and continue being the powerhouse she’s always been.

With a global tour ahead and a stunning new space taking shape, Jennifer is showing the world that reinvention, even after heartbreak, can be a work of art.
