Inside Jon Batiste & Suleika Jaouad’s Soul-Filled Brooklyn Home | Open Door | Architectural Digest

- Today AD is welcomed by Jon Batiste and Suleika Jaouad to tour their beautiful home in Brooklyn, New York. With multiple Grammys for Batiste’s album 'We Are' and Jaouad’s bestselling book, 'Between Two Kingdoms', this powerhouse couple wanted a home in which they could live and create simultaneously. After viewing close to 70 properties, it was an 1890s Brooklyn Italianate that finally felt like the One. Interior designer Hallie Goodman helped the couple create a soul-filled home, bringing together their Tunisian and New Orleanian roots in what they’ve penned the “Tunisiana” style. But what truly brought their home together was a wedding ceremony-mid-renovation, upon the return of Suleika’s leukemia, the couple tied the knot in their living room. And after a lengthy hospital stay spent scouring the web for thrifted treasures, Batiste and Jaouad’s home was finally ready for a proper homecoming. “I entered the hospital in winter. The day I was discharged was sunny and fully spring. I was weak, in need of a walker to get around, but I was so happy and relieved. As Jon and I made our way through the house, I had tears in my eyes-not just because it far exceeded our expectations. We had finally made it home.”
Jon Batiste and Suleika Jaouad’s original documentary, 'American Symphony', directed by Matthew Heineman, a portrait of two inimitable artists at a crossroad and a profound meditation on art, love, and the creative process will be released by Netflix globally later this year. Batiste's latest album 'World Music Radio' is now available here: jon-batiste.lnk.to/WorldMusic...

TUNISIANA!!! genius.
😢
Beautiful taste and design aesthetic. 💙💙
A A
I agree. Very well stated! Very genuine.
In a country obsessed with productivity, I am deeply moved to see they created a sanctuary for storytelling, contemplation, magic, resting and napping, honoring those who came before them, future visioning, animism and renaissance. They give me hope and faith in a deeply beautiful expression of humanity. Also, honoring and loving the imperfect. Just wow.
YES
Your comment reads a bit like poetry. I think this is EXACTLY what my brain thought, but I couldn't capture it verbally!
Well put
YES 🙌🏾 the fact that she emphasized napping in the office I loved, he emphasized it in the bedroom and plus that lounge of perfection. Rest inspires and grounds creativity. Makes sense 2 beautiful artists resonate with that vital aspect of our being💗
The way you put it is simply beautifull. YES
I love the way he is always reaching out to her and holding her hand. You can feel the love shared between these two.
adorable couple. I've had a crush on him for years, but you can def tell, she's the one with both feet on the ground..😊
He wrote her a lullaby every night she was in isolation in the hospital. ❤❤❤
They are a class couple!
Yeah, like he's trying to prove something...........SMH
@@swgame2511 Pffft... You're just jealous.
Finally- THIS is the episode of AD that we’ve been missing. THRIFTED, SECOND HAND, SALVAGED items, and small business owned shops, personal and beautifully curated … and the LOVE between these two 💗 💗
I've said it before and I'll say it again. We need Jon to have a kids show in the style of Mr. Rogers. I can't think of a better person to model compassion, quiet strength, and pure joy for our younger generations.
So glad that Suleika is doing better.
❤
Perfect.
@fifiroux.... THAT IS AN EXCELLENT IDEA!!!
Great idea.💡
The chemistry between Jon and Suleika is the real highlight of this video. And I love listening to Jon’s voice … they’re both born storytellers.
I love this comment. You said everything I was thinking but couldn't find the words.
I don't even know them and I'm jealous
1000%, well said!
I agree 💯 it was the love between them that radiated throughout. What a blessing to have found such a deep love connection. It was ♥ warming to see you just felt the love in every room. The chemistry between them was just awesome and to see John's humour come through was so dope. Lovely beatiful couple.
Now this is true love like Pure Honey, sweet and natural the way love should be blessings to these two and others like this, that’s what keeps true love alive!🙌❤️❤️❤️
This had to be by far one of my most favorite episodes to date! The humor and humility of John initially drew me in, but Suleika’s story of triumph and inner and outer beauty depicted in her art sealed it for me. Their love exudes an ease and genuineness that one can feel just by watching their interaction with each other. But about their space, it really just works and I love it!!! 🧡🧡🧡🧡
I've seen them give separate interviews before and speak so lovingly about each other, it's treat to see them together!
💯 🙌🏻👌🏻
What a beautiful beautiful couple 💗
Well said ! 😊
and how he is constantly touching her or holding hands, it is beautiful!!
in case you were wondering, this is what Love looks like.
This is now my favorite episode of AD. Jon holding Suleika’s hand throughout parts of the episode was absolutely wonderful.
and when he kissed her hand? True loves does exist 🥰🥰🥰
This was better than expected, the house looks delicately crafted and elegant but their personalities and love for each other was the real feature. You can tell how connected they are.
Tunisiana
I knew it would be heat
Agreed - both are immediately endearing and immensely likeable
Yes❤
So glad she has healed. So talented. Survival is a creative process ❤️
The love that shines between the two is evident. To have someone to love that much and to be loved by someone that much, still after so many years, is a gift ~ a true blessing!
indeed...
So much love, affection, and creativity in their house. I hope Suleika recovers
It's very moving to witness.
They are seriously into each other and feel the love between the two. Red hot!
Perfectly stated❤
Wow, this is one of the best celebrity houses I’ve ever seen. The bones of the house are clearly quality. But unlike other celebs who flex with more expensive stuff, these guys are flexing with their creativity. They literally don’t have to find someone to fix up their house because they have so much creativity coming out of them. I really appreciate the Tunisian influence throughout the entire house.
I totally agree with this comment
Yes!
I was too mesmerized by the adoration Jon and Suleika have for one another to even focus on the house and decor.
Theirs has got to be the most beautifully uncontrived celebrity house ever. Warm, welcoming and comfortable. Love all the repurposing. Absolute favorite part was River casually lying like a baby in Suleika’s arms on the couch.
that was my favorite part too (in addition to every moment of his incredible deep affection for her)
A true love story which shines through their lovely house. Suleika is clearly Jon's biggest fan and vice-versa. Amazing how Jon's lovely personality and energy also come through. To love deeply and be loved in equal measure is a rare thing.
Beautifully said…
Your comment made me cry. So true!
say this again! I cried and smiled so big throughout this video... one of my faves!
That last sentence hit me. Truly beautiful words
Yes! It’s remarkable how they seem to be able to be fully themselves with each other. A truly inspiring couple. What’s funny, too, is that I don’t think they FOUND soulmates in each other, but CREATED soulmates of one another - a testament to the immense love and commitment they share.
They met at band camp. And they're sparkly for each other like they are STILL in band camp.
As one comment says, "the house is just bonus."
A precious episode.
Thank you, AD.💕
"sparkly for each other" -- I love that! That's it exactly
I so love that I first looked at that chandelier and thought, wow they really are wealthy...and then I learned it was made of water bottles...it is just a vibrant, living, gorgeous, meaningful celebration of two people whose love and lives just humble me. Beautiful, beautiful.
Our world needs more humans like this incredibly beautiful couple.
There already are.. 😊
True! True! True!
There's beauty in humility----
and that's what this couple have
The way he treats his wife makes me so happy! What a lovely couple.
She’s also chronically ill (or was?). It makes it even sweeter & more meaningful
@@fluffyclouds555 Yes, leukemia
I’m so happy that Jon and Suleika are doing well! 🥹 May they both live long happy and healthy lives.
Ameeen!!!
amen!
amen!
Amen!!!!!! ❤
the ONLY AD couple I've EVER appreciated. Flex is that items are mostly MEMORIES & thrifted. Heart. REAL class HEart
They give off such a strong, positive, loving, welcoming, inspiring energy. I don't think I've seen anyone else featured in these AD videos where this was as powerful, such a presence.
agreed
Amen!
The holding hands within their house is so romantic. They balance each other and created a beautiful space.
I love how connected they seem. The little touches, supporting each others words or adding to their shared experiences. When he is sharing the paintings she did in the hospital and his commentary on her working through her treatments. A beautiful, beautiful story. The house is a bonus!
I love how Jon basically has two ways of being: incredibly talented artist whose thoughts transform the world and whose fingertips create magic of unparalleled beauty, and absolute dork. He is honesty what I aspire to be.
I just love this about him, ever since I first learned about this wonderful human.
started crying a few minutes into this, so clear the amount of love and appreciation they share between each other, and the space echoes that in an incredible way
same. so moving.
Yup. Feeling a little bit emotional in a happy way, when at around 2:40 reality slapped me in the face. Wonderful couple. Wishing them all the best!❤
Thank you! I thought I was the only one. Watching two beautiful souls in beautiful surroundings.
I cried too. And then John playing the celeste made me think about a little music box I had when I was a kid. So much soul
Absolutely, I felt the same the energy and the love is very present .
Jon is quite possibly the coolest guy who ever lived
I wonder if he has met Keanu Reeves, that would be the cool of the century!
I was so captivated by their love that I honestly forgot to pay attention to their house. You can visibly see it, feel it, hear it... so vivid and loud yet quiet and peaceful. I'm in awe.
He speaks her name in such a way that reflects her beauty even more. I love their energy, it fits well in their lovely and eclectic space.
It brought tears to my eyes to see how lovely he is towards his wife. The complete opposite of my soon to be ex husband and the exact way my dad used to be to my mum till he let this world!
Yes I noticed the same thing. I know my love is coming soon. So Sweet like these two!
Oh to love and be loved... what a blessing!
I pray that you find love like this one day! 🙂
you story starts with you, treat yourself the way you wanted to be treated, give yourself what you want to be given. tell a better feeling story in your mind, what I repeat within, repeats without
@@spsk9025I love that ❤️
This has to be my favorite AD Open Door! Their love is so transparent and the art and furniture have so much intention, bringing both their ideas in union. Also the significance of every piece means so much to them and is purposeful, in the art. (not just for show) It's cozy yet very lovingly artistic.
Their energy together...beautiful. Talk about two people that compliment each other. The love between them is so evident, all around them - their mannerisms with each other, the details in the house, everything. And his voice...magical.
This is, by far, my most favourite episode and my most favourite space. It is so warm and inviting, no pretence, lots of love and soul and personality. Their love for each other really shows; it was very moving to witness.
This episode was beautiful to watch, the chemistry between Jon and Suleika was mandatory for my heart this morning ❤The House is gorgeous.
hard agree
I didn't know this couple before watching. I love their story and watching them together. This was a great episode!
Austin City Limits is a great place to get to know his music style (It’s unique and fun).
Same
John is a genius. Has won an Oscar and Grammy for Album on the Year. Check out his Beatles cover of Black Bird. And my favorite is his blend of jazz and classical. He does insane fusions of Chopin.
@@blackblake3658 Thanks 🙏
highly recommend reading Suleikas best selling memoir!!
Jon and Suleika are the sweetest loving couple who have created a space that reflects both of their personalities.
Jon Batiste, to me, is one of the most beautiful people in the world. I love his attitude and it shows that He and Suleika are really in love. I miss him on Steven Colbert.
I am a huge fan of Jon however after watching this I can say I’m genuinely obsessed with his charisma. He’s literally a personality you don’t see often
He needs to clone himself! Beautiful human.Don't think they make 'em like him anymore....🥰
I saw Jon Batiste in concert and I can say on stage, he emanates the same warmth and kindness that is shown here.
The greatest song writer of our time. Thank you
Wow, their relationship is GORGEOUS. They are the most beautiful couple I have ever seen in my life, and I am not someone who likes to use superlatives lightly
My wife and I pray for Suleika's full recovery. Blessings to you all.
Came for a house tour and was hit with one of the most beautiful modern love stories 😭😭😭…
She has the best, melodic laugh!
John and Suleika are such a beautiful, organic couple. I pray that Suleika continues to stay in remission 🙏🏽 and may the continue to fall in love over and over with each other.
This house exudes class, elegance, sophistication, simplicity, comfort and spaciousness. It reflects well the vibe and style of Jon's sound. Not to mention that it has a very different look than what we are used to seeing in famous people's homes.
I love these two. They give me hope for the world. When I think people couldn't be any worse, I'll think of these two and know there is goodness in the world.
Amen to that.🩵🙏
be the goodness you want to see 🤎
He absolutely adores her you can tell. 🖤🙏🏽
Jon brings so much joy and authenticity through his music, it makes me so glad to see that his wife has so much of her own vision and drive. They are sweet together.
What an incredible house, so beautifully designed and what an amazing couple, their love shines through the screen!!❤
I was feeling the same way about them 🎉
That Mr. Rogers Neighborhoid moment in their closet, almost made me weep. The visit was so warm and personal, I felt as if I had been individually invited. Thank you for sharing the love in such...a loving way. 💖💖
That music reminded me of Mr Roger's, too
LOL! Me three!😅
the world needs more people like these two ♥
Made my heart happy to see Jon and his lovely wife doing well. Jon is a rare and precious gem in this industry. Blessings to them both. May they have a long and happy life together!!!!!
I love this couple! I started listening to Jon’s music after reading a little about their relationship and Suleika’s health journey in her book “Between Two Kingdoms.” If y’all have let read it, DO IT. She’s a fantastic writer.
Thanks! I love book recommendations.
Their house is beautiful but the love and admiration they both have for one another and their creativity is the star of the show ❤
The beauty of their house is surpassed by the beauty of their relationship. How satisfying to see this tour after watching 'American Symphony.' Jon and Suleika's challenging journey together has created an incredible bond, based on love and creativity. Their attitude is inspiring and demonstrates which priorities are important. May they have a long life together.
I'm so happy to see Suleika doing well. The love she and Jon have is so obvious. Thanks for the tour! Love the meaning and spirit in that house. Still miss Jon on Colbert!!!
I am Tunisian and this episode was the most heartwarming one on AD I've ever watched 😍 thanks for making me believe in love again ❤️
I read her book last year "Between Two Kingdoms" it was an amazing memoir. Glad to see that she's happy and with someone she loves.
Going to look for the book. Thanks
The constant touch, the cuddles, and the affection between them. Oh, how I adore that!
The black and white picture on the piano of Suleika playing the bass is stunning 🤍 a beautiful photograph with a beautiful subject. The two of them are so artistic and inspirational.
This was the most charming episode I've seen. What warmth and joy they exude.
So glad his wife is doing better with her health. I love the love between them.
You can tell they “see” each other. How beautiful ❤
Nothing not to just love and adore about these two.
It's so nice to see Jon and esp Sulieka doing well, healthwise. We miss Jon in Colbert show but then so happy to see Jon and his wife. You go guys !
I feel the Suleika's super warm heart, and Jon's love through this video. House is truly reflect of yourself. Beautiful!!!!
Suleika and Jon, your humanism just resonates so powerfully and beautifully!!!! Suleika I just started to read your new book, and it is powerful, beautiful, and mind provoking! Jon, your music is just beyond categorizing, and I love every note that you play! Your house is off the hook but more importantly it deeply represents who you are, the journey you have traveled and the horizon that lies just ahead of you!!! You guys give me hope and inspiration!!!!
Pure souls! The way they were holding hands throughout the house was so romantic in its own little way. ❤
In love with these two! Their love, their style, their elegance and grace. They’re special!
Loved the idea that survival is a creative process, and the use of art to transcend illness and suffering. Also, touching was how these two find meaning in the objects that surround them and are grateful to have each other.
Yes, the house is beautiful, but this couple and the love they exude for each other is just phenomenal! I just loved watching them engage with each other.🥰
i love The Lounge...it's so cozy. she has such a calm soothing voice and he's so energetic. i just love them
Jon is a national treasure and should be protected at all cost. Love that one!
Love that they are so physically affectionate in their love it is beautiful and so is their simple aesthetic
Yeah, after this, the program needs to call it a day. It's the mic drop of homes. After this house full of beauty, love, heart, art and healing, who cares where any one else lives?
What a lesson in humanity, thank you Jon and Suleika for sharing yours. ❤
The coolest people ever. And it's such a wonderful look into their relationship and the space they created together.
Oh that was so much fun, thanks for bringing my favourite people to me. I'm a Canadian grandma and John is my fave performer, I dance and workout to his music and I read Suleika's inspirational writings in my inbox with great joy. the fact they thrift does not surprise me, it is definitely a vibe.
Jon talking about Suleika's art brought tears to my eyes, beautiful
I loved their whole house, but the creative room of Suleika and her beautiful Art struck me the most .Magical.
Love the story of this couple, I personally pray both have many, many, many happy years together!!!
Rumor has it they are getting divorced.
@@Underhills No way.
@Underhills this is not true!
I love you two, and I love how you showed us around without showing out. Suleika I will be keeping you in prayer. Take care and be blessed.
Jon might be my favorite person. What an incredible human. This is the first time I’ve heard or seen his wife before and it’s very obvious why he talks so lovingly about her.
I love the way he is always reaching out to her and holding her hand.
Their house is artistic and beautiful but it's their love story that is the really beautiful story....very inspired by Jon and Suleika
What a lovely couple. OMG I'm just so happy to see a couple that loves each other so genuinely.
What a treat to see where these two forces of life spend their days. Best of all to see them express their love and affection for each other.
Such a beautiful couple.
They were meant to be together.
Miss you on the late show Sir.
Happy long life together.😘🇨🇦
The dog really stole the show! So sweet! The energy in this house is healing even on a virtual tour.
Their sense of artistry, genuine souls and light hearted personalities truly reflect in the home’s design. They nailed it!
Beautiful relationship between two amazing individuals transformed into their living space, translated and interpreted with interior design. Loved every minute of it.
I love uniqueness. You can tell that they really love each others soul.
I'm not sure if I'm more impressed by the architecture, the decor or how well spoken these two incredible people are! Fantastic and unexpected Open Door, AD!
Why would two people with masters degrees be impressive because they speak well? They are impressive for A LOT of reasons, but speaking well is hardly one of them, given their pedigree.
BOTH
Jon and Suleika seem like amazing happy and genuine human beings. The love they share is apparent in this video. The house is unique and full of character, I can only image the amount of positive energy when you walk in. This was my best episodes!!
4:05 Jon exclaiming "BE WHO YOU ARE! YOU ARE ENOUGH!" I need to clip this to play on command, his sweet spirit makes it inspiring
Joy amplified…..amplified JOY!!! ❤😊
The house fits them both very well. What a bundle of talent is wrapped up between those two. It's amazing.
This is an extreme bold elegant, design! Not surprised Jon and suleika went this bold!
He makes her laugh. What a beautiful relationship ❤
