The 46 yrs old singer has just bought what is arguably one of Los Angeles' most stunning homes.
Jlo
Jlo is reportedly the proud new owner of a sprawling multi-structure compound in Los Angeles' exclusive Bel-Air neighborhood.
Variety first noted that the pop star had her eye on the seven bedroom, 13 bathroom property which features a main mansion that is as dreamy as it is pricey.
On Saturday, TMZ's sources confirmed she has purchased the pad and managed to snag herself a discount.
The Bel-Air compound was originally listed for almost $40m but, according to TMZ, J Lo paid around $28m, a still tidy sum.
Not an inch of the almost 14,000-square-feet of the home was not meticulously planned out to create what its listing has deemed a 'French country refuge'.
Originally designed by famed architecture Samuel Marx in 1954, the property fell into disrepair when actress Sela Ward and her entrepreneur husband Howard Sherman stepped in.
Architect
Restoring what was left and then adding touches to reflect her Southern heritage, Sela has created the modern day version of a fairy tale house which Jennifer now gets to enjoy.
The main property - there is also a maids unit, an art studio and another liveable separate quarters - is a mix of old and new.
The home is constructed using stone walls which then meet steel-framed French doors, exposed beam ceilings and 100-year-old heart pine floors.
While California is not exactly cold there are six fireplaces scattered through the home as well.
Showing off its architectural theme best is the home's stunning kitchen which features wood floors, French limestone counter tops, stone walls and a soaring ceiling complete with giant sky light.
Making it the perfect spot to cook, the rustic white cabinetry kitchen has a chef's quality double ovens and a giant wooden island where people can gather, feasts be prepared or informal snacks consumed.
Another showpiece room of the home is the master bath, which shows how the property embraces its location with the bathroom featuring a romantic design that includes a giant stone shower, sitting area and stand-alone bath.
The wood floor bathroom then opens up onto a private courtyard where Jennifer can sun herself and air dry, if that is her thing.

From the terrace Jennifer and her guest can take a dip in the striking three-sided infinity pool, which lights up a multitude of colours at night.
Guests may need a map if they want to find the Love Don't Cost A Thing star as there is over 8 acres of the impossibly lush grounds - don't worry greenies the home has its own water well so not to be too greedy during California's drought.
In those acres of green there are multiple outdoor patios including a outdoor dining room complete with fireplace.
There is also an entertainment pavilion which has a full kitchen, an artist studio and a babbling brook which winds its way around the property plus a koi pond.
Not done there, the home also has a second pool, dubbed a 'swimming pond' which looks like a natural forming oasis complete with sandy beach and a tiki hut.
If going for a swim is not your thing, J Lo can also entertain at her fire pit pagoda, her adults' putting green or the children's miniature golf course
If Jen is really feeling like the host with the most, she can treat guests to a private concert at her 100-set tiered outdoor amphitheater.
There is also an organic vegetable garden and a vineyard if the Jenny From The Block star wants to flex her green thumb.
The stunning home is Jennifer's second in Los Angeles as she is currently trying to sell her Hidden Hills mansion for $12.5m, which she originally wanted $17m for.
J Lo also has two East Coast homes - one in New York and one in the Hamptons.
