She reportedly lives in Florida with her second husband, John Easterling, the founder of Amazon Herb Company. The couple were married in June 2008. The house in question is in the town of Tequesta at 104 Lighthouse Dr, Jupiter, FL 33469 (above); it's unknown if this is the same home nor is it known if she is at home presently.
Chris Shepherd, a local reporter, tweeted that there's been a suicide at the home, but he doesn't know if she was home. Reports from WPTV say that John was out of town with her husband. The couple had contractors working on the house. According to some reports, a contractor was seen crying when he left the house.
We have a reporter going to the scene of the Tequesta shooting. No word on injuries. No word on whether Olivia Newton John is even there.
