Marc Anthony had a lucky escape on Thursday after his home in the Dominican Republic went up in flames. The 55-year-old – who shares twins Max and Emme with his ex-wife Jennifer Lopez – will have some renovations after a fire broke out on the left side of his sprawling complex, which is over 10,000 square feet. A video on social media obtained by Latin American news outlet El Gordo y La Flaca, shows flames and clouds of dark smoke surrounding the property.
Firefighters were also seen arriving on the scene, attempting to control the flames and prevent them from spreading out. HELLO !'s sister publication HOLA ! reached out to Marc's team and learned that he and his family weren't in the home at the time of the accident. They also confirmed there were no victims or injuries caused by the fire.
The fire was confined to an area occupied by bungalows where guests typically stay, so the main residence, dubbed "El Oasis", where Marc, his wife Nadia Ferreira, and their son Marco reside was unaffected by the fire. A rep confirmed that three bungalows burned to the ground, and one survived the flames. A lounge area on the side of the property was also burned.
The cause of the fire is not yet known. The luxury property is typically occupied by Marc and his family in the summer or on occasions like Christmas and New Year's, but any reunion plans he has with Max and Emme at the home may now be put on hold. The house is decorated with gardens, walkways, and all manner of amenities like.
