Where Does Lili Estefan Live in Florida? Her Miami Home and the Univision Commute

September 21, 2026 · 8 min read · By Onias Derilus, Broker

Lili Estefan has co-hosted El Gordo y la Flaca from Univision's Miami studios since 1998 and lives in the city with her two children. Reporting on the house is light: a white, light-filled home with two pools and a big garden, valued at about $2 million, in a neighborhood no outlet has named. Here is what is public and what the Miami market looks like around it.

Where does Lili Estefan live? The Univision host lives in Miami, Florida, in a house she shares with her two children, Lina and Lorenzo. That much is well reported. What is not reported is the neighborhood. El Diario NY described the home in 2020 as sitting in one of the most exclusive parts of the city and left it there. So this post is honest about the limits: here is what outlets have said about the house, why she has stayed in Miami for three decades, and what homes in that market cost.

Key takeaways

  • Miami, neighborhood not reported: El Diario NY placed the home in an exclusive area of the city without naming it.
  • Valued at about $2 million, per MDZ in 2022; the purchase price and year were not reported.
  • Two pools, a large garden and an all-white interior full of orchids, per El Diario NY's 2020 tour of the house.
  • City of Miami median list price is about $639,000 on more than 11,000 listings, per our MLS feed as of September 2026.

Where does Lili Estefan live in Florida?

Lili Estefan lives in Miami, in Miami-Dade County. She has been a fixture of the city's Spanish-language television scene since the 1990s, first as a model and reporter and then, since 1998, as co-host of El Gordo y la Flaca with Raul de Molina. The show tapes daily at Univision's studios in Doral, on the west side of the county.

Her ties to Miami run deeper than the job. Liliana Estefan was born in Havana in 1967 and came to the city as a child. She is the niece of Emilio Estefan, the producer behind the Miami Sound Machine, and grew up around the studio and the family that built the Miami Latin pop sound. The Estefan name is as close to Miami royalty as Latin entertainment gets.

The house itself is private. No outlet we found has named the neighborhood, the purchase price or the year she bought it. Pure Equity does not publish private addresses, and in this case we could not name the area even if we wanted to. What follows is the house as two outlets described it from her own social media.

Inside the reported Miami home

El Diario NY ran a tour of the home in May 2020, drawn from photos Estefan had shared. The style is white throughout: white walls, white ceilings, white furniture, with the color coming from artwork and flowers. Orchids, which she has said are her favorite, fill the rooms. The kitchen has white cabinets and granite counters, and the dining room seats eight at a long white table.

The living room has an L-shaped sofa, a wood and glass coffee table and shelves that hold books and objects from her travels. Large windows keep the rooms bright. MDZ described the same look in 2022 and put the home's value at about $2 million, though it did not say where the figure came from.

The backyard is the part that gets the most attention. There are two pools, one for the children and one for adults, per El Diario NY, plus a large garden with mature trees that she has used for parties. That is a common layout for family homes in the older parts of Miami-Dade, where lots are big enough for a second pool and a lawn.

No bedroom count, square footage or lot size has been reported. We will not estimate them.

Why Lili Estefan chose Miami

She never really chose it; she grew up in it. But the reasons she stayed are clear. Her job is in Doral, five days a week, and has been for more than 25 years. The extended family, including Emilio and Gloria Estefan and her cousin Emily, lives in the county. And the audience, Spanish-speaking households across the United States and Latin America, treats Miami as the capital of their television.

Family circumstances also kept her here. She and her husband, Lorenzo Luaces, divorced in 2018 after 26 years of marriage, which was widely reported at the time. El Diario NY noted that she has lived in the house with her two children since then. A stable home near school, work and family is the priority for a single parent with a daily show, and Miami gave her that.

There is a practical side as well. A daily show means early calls and late edits, so a home within a half hour of Doral matters. Most of the exclusive neighborhoods in the City of Miami, from Coconut Grove to the Roads, sit inside that radius. So does Coral Gables. Whichever area she chose, the commute was likely part of the choice.

Where else does Lili Estefan live?

No other home is reported. Unlike touring musicians, a daily talk show host does not need a second base. Estefan tapes in Doral most weekdays, travels for Univision specials and red carpets, and comes back. Reporting places her only in Miami, and she has said in interviews that the city is the only home she has known since leaving Cuba.

That makes her a different case from her Univision colleagues covered on this site. Cristina Saralegui sold a Pinecrest estate in 2022 and went quiet. Don Francisco sold on Indian Creek and moved to a condo. Estefan, as far as the record shows, has stayed in one house through the biggest changes in her life.

If a purchase or sale ever shows up in county records under her name, the picture will sharpen. Until then, the neighborhood stays unreported, and so does the price she paid.

What homes near Lili Estefan cost

Since the neighborhood is unknown, the useful comparison is the city as a whole. Our MLS feed as of September 2026 shows more than 11,000 active listings in the City of Miami with a median list price of about $639,000 and an average of around 130 days on market. That median covers everything from downtown studios to gated waterfront estates, so a house like the one described, with two pools and a large lot in an exclusive area, sits well above it.

The other useful marker is Doral, where she works. Doral shows about 675 active listings with a median near $560,000 and an average of about 110 days on market, one of the faster-moving markets in the county. Many Univision staff live there or in the western suburbs for the short commute.

A $2 million family house with two pools and a garden would fit several older Miami-Dade neighborhoods, from the Roads and Coral Gables to Pinecrest and Palmetto Bay. Buyers looking for that setup can start with our pool homes and gated communities collections. Owners of similar homes are in a strong position, since large lots close to the city center are rare and rarely rebuilt.

One caution for readers of celebrity home posts. Several sites publish a supposed address or map pin for her house. None of the outlets we consider reliable have confirmed one, and we would not print it if they had. The details above come from her own posted photos as described by El Diario NY and MDZ, and nothing more.
