Honestly this whole thing started because I was watching this reality TV show featuring Alex and Jon. Weirdly curious, right? Like where do these people actually live? Not the glam locations on camera, but their real crib. Figured I’d see how easy or hard it actually is to find out, you know, just playing around. Spoiler: easier than ordering pizza sometimes.
Step 1: The Obvious Stuff (Mostly Useless)
My dumb ass started simple. Typed “Alex and Jon home address” straight into the search bar. Yeah, like a total rookie. What popped up? Nada. Zip. Just useless gossip sites and maybe some fan forums full of wild guesses. No actual addresses. Shoulda known better.
Next move? Hit their official social media – Instagram, Twitter, whatever platform they used most. Scrolled for hours through pics. Lots of fancy trips, cool events, staged shots… but anything showing their front door? Maybe the corner of a unique gate? Specific landmarks outside a window? Zero. Nada. They’re smart; keep that home stuff locked down tight. Realized social media was gonna be a dead end unless they slipped up majorly.
Step 2: Getting Sneaky-ish (And Kinda Boring)
Okay, felt a bit stuck. Needed a different angle. Figured everyone has public records, right? Like for property ownership or voter registrations. Here’s what I poked around in:
- County Clerk Sites: Went down this rabbit hole. Searched property records under their real, full legal names (which I thankfully knew). This involved figuring out which counties they likely lived in – kinda guessed based on their known work hubs. Scrolling through deed transfers and tax records is not exactly thrilling TV. Took ages, super tedious. Mostly found addresses linked to their production company offices, not their houses.
- Voter Stuff: Looked into public voter registration databases. Again, needed their full legal names and potential counties. This felt slightly sketchy, but it’s technically public info. This sometimes gave me a city or zip code, but rarely a full street address. Confirmed a region, not a house.
- Business Filings: Dug into corporate records where they were listed as agents or directors for their LLCs or whatever corporations they run. Those filings usually have to list an address, often a registered agent’s office or a business location. Again, rarely a personal home. Found more PO Boxes and lawyers’ offices than anything helpful.
Step 3: The Scary Part… People Finders Are Everywhere
Getting frustrated now. Then I remembered those damn “people search” websites. You know the ones – fill in a name and state, boom, they spit out “results”. Decided to bite the bullet and check a couple. Used just their first names and last name, along with the state I suspected.
The sheer number of results was staggering. Dozens of “Alex [LastName]” or “Jon [LastName]” entries. Mostly total strangers. You have to sift through them like laundry, looking for the right middle initial or associated cities. Some entries cost money to see the full details. Didn’t pay, but some free tiers showed potential city matches and past cities lived in. It felt incredibly invasive and honestly kinda creepy seeing how much junk data they hoard on everyone.
Step 4: Putting Random Bits Together (And a Bit of Luck)
After all that digging, I had fragments: a primary county, one or two specific cities linked to business filings, and maybe a zip code from a possible voter registration match. Cross-referenced this stuff on Google Maps, looking for high-end neighborhoods matching their vibe within those areas.
Finally got a potential lead. One specific city name kept popping up subtly – mentioned in an old interview about where they “base themselves,” linked to a business filing with an address near a well-known neighborhood. Googled “[Celebrity Name] seen at [Neighborhood Name] coffee shop“. Jackpot. Found a couple of gossip blurbs and blurry paparazzi shots from like a year ago placing them in that specific, exclusive neighborhood. Searched property sales in that neighborhood over the last few years for their names… and bingo. Found a property purchase record matching Jon’s full name. Couldn’t get Alex’s exact address confirmed independently, but it’s highly likely they share that residence.
My Takeaway: Freakishly Easy (and Unsettling)
Doing this experiment was kinda scary. It didn’t take a hacker or genius, just a persistent person with some free time and internet access. Using totally public, legal records and some basic research skills, I got pretty darn close to their actual house. The hardest part was wading through the ocean of incomplete data and noise. Those people-finder sites are data hoarders selling access to mostly garbage.
The truly disturbing part? Realizing anyone moderately determined, maybe a crazy fan, could follow this same breadcrumb trail. Shows how little real privacy exists online anymore. Makes you think twice about what you post yourself, doesn’t it?
