Chloe Sims gives fans a tour of her huge new LA apartment after months spent searching for perfect home
CHLOE Sims gave her fans a tour of her huge new LA apartment after months spent searching for the perfect home. The former ITVBe star declared that she decided to make her move across the world to California 'more permanent'. 9 9 9 Chloe, 43, first rose to fame in 2011 on The Only Way is Essex when she was introduced as the cousin of Joey Essex. She was the longest-serving cast member on the hit reality show before finally departing in 2021 to start a new chapter after over a decade. Now, the star took to social media to celebrate the fact that she finally owns her very own home in Los Angeles. At the top of her Instagram grid page was a new behind-the-scenes video to Natasha Bedingfield 's hit track Unwritten - which was famously used in the iconic LA-based MTV reality series, The Hills. In the clip, her car drove past the famous Four Seasons hotel on the prestigious Doheney Drive in Beverly Hills. She later gave fans a tour around the new apartment, which contained a huge open-plan kitchen and living area. The walls looked absolutely pristine in the newly renovated living area which was also decked out with stylish wooden floorboards. Chloe looked casual as she donned a yellow t-shirt with baggy summer trousers and black sandals. She captioned the video: "New home!" along with a key emoji. "After living here for a while I decided to make it more permanent! Massive thank you to @zolakanwal for searching for months to find me the perfect home!" Inside Chloe Sims' lavish birthday party with famous cousin, Towie legends and Rita Ora The former reality star added: "Let's decorate!! #newhome #renovation." The clip was also emblazoned with the caption: "So this happened. L.A era! Our new home," with a yellow heart emoji. A year after quitting Towie she starred in her own show on the OnlyFans streaming network, OFTV, which was titled House of Sims. This was alongside her family Demi, Frankie, and brother Charlie as the quartet tried to make it big in LA. Joey Essex's famous exes Sam Faiers - Joey dated Towie co-star Sam Faiers from 2011. The pair were one of the original Essex duos, and were together on and off for three years before ending the relationship for good in September, 2014. Amy Willerton - Joey was rumoured to be dating his I'm A Celeb co-star Amy Willerton in 2013, when they both appeared on the show together. The romance soon fizzled out afterwards and Willerton, who won the title of Miss Universe Great Britain said she found it difficult. Speaking to the Daily Star Sunday newspaper, she said: "The attention after we left the show was really hard for me. While Joey had a strong management team behind him, I didn't really have anybody in my corner." Stephanie Pratt - Made In Chelsea star and US born socialite, Stephanie Pratt, dated Joey for three months. They fell for each other while appearing in Celebs Go Dating and shared a steamy kiss in Joey's swimming pool. But he dumped her in October 2016 for making him "spend too much time in Chelsea". Lorena Medina - Joey met model Lorena Medina on MTV reality show Ex On The Beach in 2019. Their relationship seemed to be going well after Joey showed her around his hometown of Chigwell in Essex. But the pair split in February 2020. Lorena had moved into his home in Chigwell, Essex, in September 2019, but they had a furious bust-up after he was snapped entering singer Rita Ora's home in the early hours of the morning. Rita Ora - Joey's ex Lorena revealed to The Sun that she dumped Joey after he spent a wild night out with Rita Ora early in 2020. He was holed up for 13 hours in Rita's mansion after the pair had tried to avoid being seen together by taking separate cars between venues. However, the pair have denied that there was anything romantic between them. Joey said: "We have known each other for years. She's a nice girl but we're just friends." Vanessa Bauer - Joey was rumoured to have had a brief romance with Dancing on Ice pro skater Vanessa Bauer during his stint on the hit ITV show in 2023. Rumours of the pair's relationship circled for months in the lead up to the show airing, with Vanessa exclusively denying the whispers to the Sun in November 2022. The pair came runners-up during the final in March - and while it seemed like they were close on the show, it appeared to have fizzled out shortly after. By May 2023, Joey confirmed he was single and said he could not see a future for them after the final. The sisters had a huge falling out on the show as they quit LA and fled to the UK, whilst Chloe opted to stay and try and break America. At the time, a source told The Sun: "Chloe's fallen out with her sisters big time. "They've gone their separate ways after a huge fight broke out in LA, where they'd been filming the show. 'Chloe's decided to stay out there while Frankie and Demi have left her and headed back home to Essex to pursue their own careers." 9 9 9 9 9 9

Former Mets star lists $30M ranch where now-infamous 'wild boar' injury took place
After officially retiring from his baseball playing days, a former New York Mets star is selling his mega mansion that was built around the corner from the team's spring training base. Former outfielder Yoenis Cespedes hasn't played in the MLB for five years and is now ready to let go of his massive mansion in Port St. Lucie, Florida - at the price of $30million. Sitting on 400 acres, Cespedes' sprawling home features creature comforts and lavish luxuries. However, Mets fans will remember this house as the site of a well-publicized run-in with a wild boar that led to the star missing playing time. Called 'La Potencia II' (translated to 'The Power'), the 16,000-square-foot main residence features six bedrooms and five bathrooms. Additionally, on the inside, you'll find a massive main living room with a fire place, a massive eat-in kitchen, a games room with a pool table, and an extravagant all-glass wine room next to an ornate bar. Multiple other living rooms are dotted throughout the residence - which also features the likes of walk-in closets and elegant bathrooms. Outside, there's a gorgeous patio - complete with its own kitchen, eating space, and a wet bar. There's also a decadent heated pool - with a separate hot tub and an attached water feature. But there's also plenty of features that indicate this was the home of a professional athlete. Not only is there a stocked barber shop, there's also a well-equipped gym as well as a separate batting cage. Finally, when you step out of the enclosure, you'll find a stable for 12 horses as well as a training facility for the equine creatures attached to the property. Of course, Mets fans remember this mansion as the site of an infamous injury that Cespedes sustained from a 'wild boar' in 2019. While the Mets general manager at the time said that Cespedes sustained a broken ankle in a 'violent fall', it was later reported that the two-time All-Star actually had a run-in with the wild animal. Cespedes tried mounting an MLB comeback in 2024, but that was unsuccessful. The 39-year-old won a Gold Glove award, a Silver Slugger award, and two Home Run Derby competitions throughout his eight year career in the majors.
