Jennifer Aydin sure does know how to have fun during self-isolation — her enormous, 12,000-square-foot Paramus mansion is packed to the gills with activities. The Real Housewives of New Jersey mom’s family of seven (eight, if you count her dad, who is often there!) loves having movie nights — and while most people cozy up on their family room couch to do so, the Aydins head down to their basement screening room, where they sit in red leather recliners to watch a film. Seriously, it’s the lap of luxury in that room.

How to Watch

Watch The Real Housewives of New Jersey on Peacock and the Bravo app.  

Flanking the movie theater is a sprawling, 8,000-square-foot basement that comes with a spa, a sauna, an indoor basketball court, and enough games that we’re just going to go ahead and label the space as a super-fancy arcade. Jennifer’s five young children get to play with a pool table, a foosball table, a professional-grade boxing bag, and a Pac-Man arcade game. For the musically inclined, there’s even a keyboard to jam on.

In an Instagram post this week, Jennifer showed the chaos before her family’s movie night, and to say the Aydin kids were taking full advantage of the basement’s games would be an understatement. Boxing, singing, and playing with an oversized blue workout ball, the kids were letting out some steam before joining their dad in the screening room—looks like a blast, Aydin family!
