Pop singer AJ McLean lets go of the home he’s owned since 2015 in Westlake Village, California.
According to Realtor.com, the 5,330-square-foot Mediterranean villa listed in January for $3.5 million is awaiting sale.
News of the home’s sale comes just after the founding member of the Backstreet Boys announced earlier this year that he and his wife Rochelle were divorcing after 12 years of marriage.
In a post shared on Instagram, the couple said: “It is with deep love and respect that we have made this decision. Our goal now is to move forward in the healthiest way possible with our girls’ friendship and co-parenting at the forefront of the next chapter. We appreciate your kindness, respect and privacy at this time.

Upstairs, the aforementioned primary suite sits behind French doors and is an oasis all its own. It’s not hard to see why buyers were dazzled by the enormous walk-in closet and spa bathroom.
