In a recent episode of her podcast “The Morning After,” Kelly Stafford stirred up some Halloween-themed buzz by joking that her Los Angeles home might be haunted by a rather famous presence: the ghost of Jennifer Lopez. As she and cohost Hank Winchester delved into their beliefs about the supernatural, Kelly asserted her conviction in ghosts, stating, “Yes, I do. They’re everywhere. You have to believe in some eternal being, right?”
Kelly noted that even her family’s personal chef, Chris, has perceived something unusual in their residence. When Hank suggested that the ghost could belong to the famed singer and actress, who once called the Stafford residence home, Kelly enthusiastically added to the playful banter, affirming, “Yes, the ghost of J. Lo! Fantastic.”
The Staffords reside in a lavish Hidden Hills estate, which they purchased for a whopping $28.3 million in December 2023, setting a new neighborhood record at the time. This expansive property includes multiple amenities and allows the family to enjoy a compound-like living experience. Previously, J. Lo lived in the main house from 2010 to 2017, where she curated a luxurious nine-bedroom, thirteen-bathroom mansion complete with a movie theater and a recording studio.
After Lopez’s departure, the property underwent significant renovations, with a designer splitting it into two spec homes. The Staffords occupy one, while the other is currently on the market for $40 million. This latest purchase follows a series of lucrative real estate transactions in Hidden Hills, including their acquisition of additional properties previously owned by Drake.
As the Halloween festivities continue, the lighthearted conversations about a ghostly J. Lo bring an entertaining spin to the lives of the Staffords as they navigate fame and family. With a celebrity-studded neighborhood that includes NFL stars and coaches, the Staffords’ home is just one of many tales of life in Hidden Hills, where the extraordinary is commonplace.
