The environment matters a lot while growing up. It certainly mattered to actress and singer Jennifer Lopez when she first walked into her new home in Bel Air. She walked into her home with former baseball player Alex Rodriguez and gave an interview to Vanity Fair about her lavish property.
A-Rod and JLo started dating in 2017. It was the same year that they rekindled their friendship after first meeting in 2005. Jennifer had purchased the Bel Air property in 2016 for a whopping $28 million from Sela Ward.

What did Jennifer Lopez, ex-fiancée of Alex Rodriguez, say about her Bel Air home?
Sitting on the stone patio of the new Bel Air home, Jennifer gave the interview to Vanity Fair’s Bethany McLean. She talked about the feeling she had when she first entered the house.
“We walked into this house and I said, ‘This is where I want my kids to grow up'” the actress told the reporter. Moreover, she added, “You have to imagine your life and what you want to be in it, and I imagined that we would be very happy here no matter what.”
The actress-singer imagined that the house would be where she wanted to see her children grow up. And she went there. Overlooking the infinity pool, JLo explained how perfect the swing was for her (then) nine-year-old twins. And everything there was perfect and exactly what she needed.
