Celebrity couple Nick Jonas and Priyanka Chopra, who married in 2018, are the owners of a luxury mansion in Los Angeles that is now at the center of a legal battle.
In September 2019, nearly a year after the pair's marriage, Jonas and Chopra bought a seven-bedroom mansion in Encino, California. The home, which was purchased for $20 million, spans over 20,000 square feet and is situated on a five-acre lot in one of Los Angeles' most exclusive neighborhoods.
The luxury property boasts seven bedrooms, nine bathrooms, a fully-equipped chef's kitchen, a temperature-controlled wine room, a full-service gym, and a billiards room. Some of the standout features of the mansion are its luxurious amenities, including an indoor basketball court, a spa with a steam shower, an indoor basketball court, and an interior bowling alley.
In addition to its amenities, the home is also situated in a prime location, offering stunning views of the San Fernando Valley and the city skyline.
What Happened to the Property?
Jonas and Chopra were forced to vacate their $20 million mansion due to severe weather damage and mold infestation, according to a lawsuit filed in May 2023 and exclusively obtained by Page Six.
The mansion, specifically the pool and indoor spa, began to present issues for the couple around April 2020 when they found "porous waterproofing" and "fostered mold contamination." During the same time, a water leak appeared at the barbecue area on the deck, which damaged "a portion of the interior living area" below it.
The issues at the mansion made the couple's home "virtually unlivable" and "dangerous from a health perspective to occupy."
"This has resulted in substantial and significant damage along with a failure of consideration which requires that the purchase and sale be rescinded," the lawsuit read. "In the alternative, plaintiff should be reimbursed for all costs of repair, plus compensation for the loss of use and other damages caused by defendants' conduct."
It is unclear how much the couple has spent on repairing their mansion. However, the complaint stated that waterproofing issues alone could cost more than $1.5 million, while "general damages" could cost about $2.5 million.
