"The Daily Show" host Trevor Noah bought a sprawling new mansion in the Bel-Air neighborhood of Los Angeles, California, for $27.5 million, Jack Flemming of the Los Angeles Times reports.
A source told People's Hannah Chubb that Noah purchased the home for himself and rumored girlfriend Minka Kelly to share as a couple.
The home has six bedrooms, 11 bathrooms, an infinity pool, a media room, and a spa.
This isn't Noah's first big real-estate purchase — he bought a $10 million NYC penthouse in 2017 and a different Bel-Air mansion in 2019 for $20.5 million.
Photos published by the Times show the sprawling home surrounded by lush greenery in the swanky Bel-Air neighborhood. It has a pool on one of the upper decks, a media room, floor-to-ceiling windows, an office, a spa, and a library.
According to the Times, Noah bought the home, which has six bedrooms and 11 bathrooms, from architect Mark Rios. Rios is the owner of an LA-based design firm named after him. The listing was held by Linda May, Drew Fenton, and Jonah Wilson of luxury real-estate agency Hilton & Hyland.
But the large property may not be for Noah alone. A source told People Magazine's Hannah Chubb that Noah and his rumored girlfriend, Minka Kelly, are planning to live in the new home as a couple.
"They're making plans for a future together, and it's a very stable relationship," the source told People. "They've been spending time between coasts over the last year and had been looking for a place in LA as a couple."

Noah's new home is known for its 'unique' design
When the house was up for sale last year, Robb Report called it "one of the most unique houses on the market in Los Angeles" and went on to describe the home's "minimalist expanse of verdant grass," heated stone-floor bathrooms, and hand-stitched leather railing.
Mansion Global reports that the house initially entered the market in 2018 with a price tag of $36 million, which was reduced over the years before ultimately selling to Noah for a reported $27.5 million.
"Architects have a hard time designing for themselves," Rios told Architectural Digest in 2017. "I went through over 50 plans before we settled on one."
