What Happened To Bam Margera's Parents?

May 2024 ยท 2 minute read

Bam Margera's West Chester mansion โ€” affectionately known to fans as "Castle Bam" โ€” was arguably as much a star of "Viva La Bam" as he and his parents. Twelve years after the series wrapped production, Bam's mother, April Margera, announced her intention to turn the massive home into an Airbnb rental. With Castle Bam spanning 4,500 square feet, April spent much of 2018 renovating the property and updating fans on her progress. According to Philly Voice, the property last sold for $1.195 million and includes Bam's beloved skatepark and an area specifically designated for band practice. There's some sad news for fans of the manor's gothic decor, as April told The Philadelphia Inquirer that the finished project is "not going to look like the show set."

As of this writing, the house has yet to hit the West Chester Airbnb listings. During a 2019 appearance on "Dr. Phil," Bam said April became overprotective of Castle Bam during the renovation process โ€” so much so that the two grew estranged over the matter. "If anybody comes in now, she doesn't want anybody sitting anywhere or doing anything," the MTV alum said.

While plans to revamp the home may be on hold, both April and Bam's father, Phil Margera, have kept in touch with fans via Instagram, frequently sharing intimate family photos. In September 2022, amid Bam's rehab struggles, April rooted for her son in a heartfelt birthday message, writing, "We've been through it this year... Don't let anyone who doesn't have ur back pull you down. This is your year!"
