Several A-listers have decided to say goodbye to Los Angeles and grow roots elsewhere.
Years after This Is Us came to an end, for example, star Chrissy Metz relocated from the City of Angels to Nashville.
“I was in L.A. for 21 years, but my family is in Florida, where I’m from, and during the pandemic, I could drive to them from here,” Metz explained to People in April 2025. It’s just a better quality of life here. Everything is 15 minutes away, and it’s just so much less stress.”
In December 2025, Joe Manganiello and fiancée Caitlin O’Connor relocated to their hometown of Pittsburgh.
Smallville actor Tom Welling, meanwhile, left L.A. behind to raise horses on a ranch in North Carolina.
Wednesday star Catherine Zeta-Jones moved to New York years ago, but she’s found herself questioning if leaving L.A. affected her career.
