After 22 years of marriage, the couple filed for divorce, but Don passed away in 2011, before it was settled. After Bella's passing last year, their estate has finally opened to the public. 

The home is filled with furniture and decorative items from their life together and shoppers didn't wait to line the street and take home some impressive items from expensive gowns and furniture to Halloween and Christmas decorations.
