Nick Jonas and Priyanka Chopra’s dreamy $20 million Los Angeles mansion has turned into a real-life nightmare, prompting the celebrity couple to pack up and move out. The luxurious abode, purchased by the duo in 2019, has become the epicenter of a legal battle, with the couple taking legal action against the builder due to a string of issues and damages that have plagued their residence.
The once glamorous property, equipped with seven bedrooms, nine bathrooms, a temperature-controlled wine room, an indoor basketball court, and other lavish amenities, has now become “virtually unlivable” and poses health risks, according to the complaint filed by the couple’s trustee. Priyanka, Nick, and their 2-year-old daughter Malti Marie Chopra Jonas have sought refuge in an alternative property while construction is underway to rectify the extensive damages.

The genesis of their predicament began shortly after they moved into the mansion, encountering problems with the pool and spa, specifically issues related to “porous waterproofing” that facilitated mold contamination and other related concerns. The water damage has rendered the property not only aesthetically compromised but also hazardous for occupancy.
The lawsuit, filed on behalf of the couple, outlines the extent of the damages, estimating that the costs of repairing the mansion will soar beyond $1.5 million. In addition to the repair costs, the couple is seeking “consequential damages” totaling around $2.5 million for the loss of use and other damages incurred due to the alleged negligence of the builder.
The legal battle underscores the challenges faced by celebrities in maintaining their high-profile residences, shedding light on the complexities involved in dealing with luxurious properties. Despite the setbacks, the couple remains resilient, with their attorneys arguing for full reimbursement of repair costs and compensation for the various damages caused by the builder’s alleged misconduct.
As construction crews work diligently to restore the mansion to its former glory, Nick Jonas and Priyanka Chopra continue to navigate this unexpected chapter in their homeownership journey, emphasizing the importance of due diligence even in the realm of celebrity real estate.
