Step aside, Burt Reynolds! You're not the only one auctioning off special items!
After E! News confirmed the Boogie Nights actor was selling more than 600 personal items, we've learned his ex-wife Loni Anderson is getting rid of a slew of belongings as well.
The WKRP actress is auctioning off close to 65 gifts she received from her famous ex in hopes of raising some money for her family.
From diamonds and fur coats, to costumes and show props, the variety of items is quite extraordinary. But one item that immediately grabbed our attention was the nude portrait of Anderson that can be yours if the price is right.
"He loved art so he would go pick out a favorite artist and then he would commission them to do a portrait of me," she explained to ET. "So pretty soon, there are a lot of portraits of me."
But wait, there's more. Fans can also buy the exact wedding dress she wore as she said "I Do" to Reynolds in 1988.

"It has all the romance and the tradition," she shared. "It was such a special day."
The latest auction comes after reports surfaced claiming Reynolds was close to filing for bankruptcy, an accusation he strongly denies.
"I am simply selling some of my memorabilia that I have enjoyed for so many years but do not have use nor room for them anymore," he confessed. "Quite frankly, I am sick of so many pictures of myself in my own home."
Anderson echoed her ex's statements and said he is absolutely supportive of her latest auction.
"We've been dealing with thinking about scaling back, what are we going to do with all our stuff?" she admitted. "So what are you going to do? Share it."
