Following her recent split from Ben Affleck, Jennifer Lopez reportedly wants to buy a home in the lavish Azria Estate in Los Angeles's Holmby Hills neighborhood. The estate is adjacent to her former boyfriend Sean "Diddy" Combs.
Lopez and Combs dated from 1999 to 2001, and the proximity of their potential homes adds an interesting twist to the story. The Azria Estate, originally listed for $85 million, has been involved in a legal dispute.

The estate borders Combs' property, which hit the market this week for $61 million.
However, sources told TMZ that Lopez is hoping to secure a deal for significantly less, somewhere between $30 million and $39 million. The current asking price is $55 million.
The 30,000-square-foot mansion is in a prestigious neighborhood, with famous neighbors like Tom Ford, Sean Parker and Jimmy Iovine.

The Azria Estate was once owned by the late fashion mogul Max Azria, who created the BCBG brand. The 14-bedroom house sits on three acres and has an infinity pool, guesthouse, in-home theater, game room and sauna.
Earlier this year, billionaire investor Ron Burkle won the estate at auction for $30 million, but the deal has been stalled because of a lawsuit filed by Azria's widow, Lubov, alleging a contract breach.
Despite the legal complications, Lopez has shown interest in the property. She has reportedly taken multiple tours in recent weeks and is now negotiating with both Burkle and Lubov Azria in hopes of acquiring the estate.

It would be a significant bargain if Lopez can secure the estate for her target price. The estate, originally listed for $85 million in 2021, was once one of Los Angeles' most expensive properties.
The estate, designed by renowned architect Paul Williams, combines classic Hollywood elegance with modern luxury. Williams, the first African American member of the American Institute of Architects, is known for his work on grand homes for celebrities like Lucille Ball and Tyrone Power. The Azria Estate is a prime example of his architectural brilliance.

The estate's listing describes it as a "timeless experience," blending colonial architecture with cutting-edge amenities.
The Azria Estate offers a high level of security, with a gated driveway leading to the property. The lush grounds feature rolling lawns, mature trees, a tennis court and a greenhouse for fresh produce.
Lopez is no stranger to the estate. It served as a filming location for her movie "Atlas," and she and Affleck toured the property earlier this year while searching for a new home.
