Marc is on tour in South America

Marc was on tour in South America, when three bungalows on his Dominic Republican estate went up in flames on August 8, 2024.

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. It was reported that the fire was confined to an area occupied by bungalows where guests stay; the main residence was unaffected by the fire.

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, but that three out of the four bungalows burned to the ground.

A lounge area on the side of the property was also burned. The cause of the fire is not yet known.

Marc's estate, known as El Oasis, sits on the Casa de Campo complex in La Romana, in the Dominican Republic. El Oasis sleeps up to 24, and features two swimming pools, one of which has an artificial beach, cabanas and multiple pavilion, gardens and home theaters.

The 55-year-old lives with his wife, Nadia Ferreira, and their son Marco, at the estate. It is also where he married ex-wife Shannon De Lima in 2014; the couple were married for three years before they divorced in 2017.

He has also taken his 16-year-old twins Max and Emme, whom he welcomed with ex-wife Jennifer Lopez, to the resort.

The duo successfully co-parent their children and Jennifer has spoken in the past about their strong relationship, despite their split.

"There's a reason we're not together, but we're great friends and we're parents together," she said during an appearance on The View.  "We met working, and that's where we're really magical when we're on stage together, and so we leave it there. That’s it."
