After the heartbreaking loss of her long-time partner, the revered rapper and activist Nipsey Hussle, in March 2019, Lauren London opted for a relatively private life.
Despite maintaining a low public profile, she recently returned to the acting scene in April, co-starring alongside Michael B. Jordan in the film adaptation of a classic Tom Clancy novel, “Without Remorse.”
In a recent interview with the L.A. Times, the “ATL” star shared insights into her selective approach to acting roles. London revealed that she was drawn to “Without Remorse” after a personal request from the director, Fox. In the film, she portrayed the character Pam Kelly, marking a significant return to the screen.
While navigating her personal and professional life, Lauren London made a notable change in her residential choices. She transitioned from a series of rental homes to a newly purchased mini-estate in the tranquil Sherman Oaks neighborhood.
Public records indicate that she acquired the property for $1.7 million through an off-market deal, emphasizing her desire for privacy with walls, gates, and surveillance cameras.
Originally constructed in 1949, the two-story structure underwent extensive renovations and expansions. Encompassing around 2,500 square feet, the residence features four bedrooms and 3.5 bathrooms.
The front yard, secured by a gate, boasts a grassy lawn shaded by a large elm tree, creating an ideal space for children and pets.
Inside, the home welcomes with an open floor plan, including a living room with a fireplace, a step-down family room, and a dining area seamlessly connected to the surprisingly spacious kitchen. The kitchen has been upgraded with top-of-the-line appliances and features an eat-in breakfast bar.
Despite its modest size by Los Angeles standards, the home includes four bedrooms, with three located on the upper level and one situated at the rear of the property on the ground floor.
Additionally, there is a bonus room downstairs that can serve various purposes, such as an office, a gym, or even a fifth bedroom.
The master suite, positioned on the upper level, boasts a vaulted ceiling, French doors leading to a private balcony, a master bathroom with dual rainfall showerheads and vanities, and a walk-in closet fitted with custom built-ins.
The remaining portion of the compact 0.15-acre lot includes a driveway leading to an attached two-car garage. The backyard is predominantly hardscaped, featuring a plunge pool and a built-in BBQ center with a bar, creating an inviting space for outdoor entertainment.
Even before her relationship with Nipsey Hussle, Lauren London had garnered attention for her supporting roles in hip-hop music videos in the early 2000s. Her breakthrough came with a leading role in the influential coming-of-age film “ATL” in 2006, catapulting her to wider recognition. Throughout her career, London has continued to make notable appearances in Hollywood films and TV shows. The Los Angeles native also gained media attention for her past relationship with ex-partner Lil Wayne, with whom she shares a son.
