Jennifer Lopez is still having work done on the 10K-square-foot Hidden Hills, California mansion she snapped up in February for $21million.
Daily Mail has obtained images of the sprawling home with heavy changes being made to it like another room on the second floor being added.
It appears as if the Bronx beauty – who can next be seen in the musical Kiss Of The Spider Woman – is trying to add square footage to the exclusive dwelling.
‘Jennifer wants the home to be exactly as she likes it. She has a specific vision for the place and she wants it redone to perfection,’ an insider told Daily Mail.
‘She has been inspired by her latest movie, Kiss Of The Spider Woman, and wants the pad to be lush, dramatic, fun.’
This comes just after the former Fly Girl dropped the price of the love nest in Bel Air, California that she once shared with ex Ben Affleck.

Lopez and Affleck have relisted their former marital home for $52 million, a price cut of $16 million from their initial $68 million asking price in July 2024.
At the moment, she is still residing in the mega mansion.
In June there were photos of the renovations starting.
Daily Mail’s source noted at the time that she was busting the bank to make the property beautiful. ‘She is spending a lot of money because it’s big: there is the main house, the pool house and a guest house,’ said the insider.
But this is business as usual for the Unstoppable actress. ‘Jennifer renovates every home she moves into because she wants a certain look, the JLo touch, which makes the place her very own,’ added the friend.
‘She has great style so she makes everything better. And she had very specific ideas for this place. Jennifer wants it light, bright and flirty,’ said the source.
The home celebrates her new life as a single woman after a painful split from Ben.
The property is an hour drive from Affleck’s home in the Brentwood area, near his ex-wife Jennifer Garner.
DailyMail.com earlier reported the single mother to twins Max and Emme moved for peace of mind. ‘Jennifer wanted to get out of the hustle and bustle of the city and have a more relaxed home life in Hidden Hills,’ said the source.

‘It has nothing to do with getting away from Ben and his family and Jennifer and their kids. She is OK with them. It is about being in a more relaxed environment.’
It also helps that the security is tops.
‘She bought a home in a gated community where there is security personnel and cameras everywhere, it’s extremely safe. This way she doesn’t have to worry if Max rides his bicycle down a street or if Emme goes for a walk with a friend.’
Jennifer has lived in the area before. In 2001 she had a house in Calabasas when she was wed to Cris Judd.
This new house is quite the beauty.
The sprawling 2.5-acre estate features a 10,046-square-foot main house, along with a barn, stables, a riding arena, a guest house, and a pool.
For added luxury, the home boasts a private theater, a chef’s kitchen, and a fully equipped gym.

The property also has a touch of Hollywood history, having once been owned by John Fogerty of Creedence Clearwater Revival, who purchased it from Sylvester Stallone before selling it to Lopez.
Meanwhile, Lopez and Affleck are still struggling to sell their Beverly Hills mansion, which they purchased in May 2023.
Known as Crestview Manor, the lavish estate includes a 12-bedroom, 24-bathroom main house, a 5,000-square-foot guest penthouse, a two-bedroom guardhouse, a caretaker’s house, and a 12-car garage.
The property also boasts a home bar, gym, sports lounge, boxing ring, basketball and pickleball courts, and parking for up to 80 vehicles.

A source told PEOPLE that Lopez and Affleck weren’t fully aligned when they bought the house.
‘The $68 million mansion was Ben’s idea and a major compromise for her,’ the insider revealed, noting that its expansive layout was ideal for their blended family.
However, Lopez reportedly preferred a more romantic, European-inspired aesthetic, while Affleck soon found the home’s location inconvenient for his Brentwood-based life and children.
After months of speculation about their crumbling marriage, Lopez filed for divorce in August, citing April 26, 2024, as their date of separation.
Affleck moved into a $20 million Brentwood home in September, placing him closer to his ex-wife, Jennifer Garner, and their three children.
Lopez and Affleck’s rekindled romance, which began in 2021 after 17 years apart, saw them wed in a whirlwind Las Vegas ceremony in July 2022, followed by a star-studded celebration at Affleck’s Georgia estate.
