Mary J Blige purchased this spacious, 7,000 square foot mansion for $1.95 million back in 2001. Built in 1990, the contemporary estate boasts 6 bedrooms and 10 bathrooms.

Photos of the home’s interior are unavailable, but some features you can find inside are 3 fireplaces, a gym, an office, and guest quarters!

Outside, the backyard provides plenty of entertainment space by way of a large deck that overlooks the nearby swimming pool.

Blige originally listed the residence back in 2019 for $2.24 million. She increased the price to $3 million in 2021 via listing agent Sharon Kurtz of Prominent Properties Sotheby’s International Realty.

Despite multiple re-listings, the home has yet to find a new owner.

Built in 2005, this massive 13,856 square foot French country-style mansion once belonged to soulful songstress, Mary J Blige!

Blige purchased the 8-bedroom, 13-bathroom home for $12.3 million in 2008 but has spent the last decade trying to sell it at various prices.

In 2020, however, she finally offloaded the home for $5.5 million – substantially less than her initial asking price of $6.8 million in 2019 or the $13 million price tag from 2015.

Below, we see the home’s opulent living room with beautiful coffered ceilings, pillars, and a large dual-sided fireplace.

The mansion, located in an upscale Saddle River neighborhood where other famous names like Rosie O’Donnell call home, is packed full of luxury amenities to keep you entertained.

After 12 years of marriage, Mary J Blige would divorce Isaacs on the ground of “irreconcilable differences.” During their marriage, Isaac allegedly had multiple girlfriends and actually spent over $420k of Mary’s hard-earned cash to visit his mistress…oof!

In addition to his affairs, Mary also claims that Kendu was riding around town in a Mercedes that she pre-paid the lease on and he was refusing to return her music awards.

The two would fight a nearly 2 year-long legal battle, with Isaac asking for spousal support of $130k per month. In 2017, the judge would order Blige to start making retroactive support payments dating all the way back to when she initially filed for divorce.

In 2021, Blige spoke about Harrell to The Hollywood Reporter, saying “Andre is really my father in this music industry. If he hadn’t come down that day to those project to my apartment, I wouldn’t be here right now.”
