The massive pool allows the Gretzkys to lure the rest of the family over for barbecues. The pair were in the process of redecorating their home.
Jones shared, "I can't wait until it's completed. I really built it as my dream home, never thinking we would buy it back!" she said of their beautiful abode.
THEIR FIRST CHILD
They are also grandparents to two grandkids River and Tatum, Paulina's kids. The 32-year-old is currently engaged to golf star and longtime partner Dustin Johnson.
Johnson and Paulina met in 2009 and officially started dating in 2013. The 37-year-old popped the big question only seven months after they started dating.
Paulina is an actress and has appeared in movies including "Grown Ups 2," "Fame," and "Gambling," and is also a model and a singer.
ALL ABOUT WAYNE
While Paulina has taken after her mom by pursuing acting, her father is a sports star and is arguably hockey's most outstanding player. Wayne is a Canadian-born hockey player and NHL Hall of Famer.
The doting dad played his first full NHL season in 1970-80 for the Edmonton Oilers. Over the next two decades, he dominated the sport, setting a host of league records.
The former head coach eventually retired in 1999 and was inducted into the same year's Hall of Fame. He has been described as a “precise and hard-working” player.
Wayne was just two years old when he first started skating. He was born on January 26, 1961, in Brantford, Ontario, Canada.
