The home offers seven bedrooms and 13 bathrooms, and is located in the prestigious Rustic Canyon.

Ben sold off his $30 million Pacific Palisades home over the summer. He had purchased it amid his split from ex-wife Jennifer Garner, 50, in 2018. They share three children: Violet, 17, Seraphina, 14, and Sam, 11.

In a November 2022 article in Vogue, J.Lo referred to The Adam Project actress as ‘an amazing co-parent,’ and said they worked well together. 

The kids are top of mind for them, with the Marry Me star explaining, ‘They have so many feelings. They’re teens. But it’s going really well so far.’

The couple have been hunkering down by renting Australian billionaire James Packer’s $60 million Beverly Hills mansion amid their house hunt.
