The power couple has dealt with the paparazzi for most of their professional careers. But they had enough of their kids also having to endure it.

Since 2018, Biel, Timberlake, and their two kids have lived predominantly at their properties in Tennessee and Montana.

“You get hammered on the East Coast. You kind of get hammered on the West Coast. That’s why we don’t really live there anymore,” said Biel in a May 2024 episode of SiriusXM’s “Let’s Talk Off Camera With Kelly Ripa,” seemingly referring to her former home of LA. “We’re just trying to create some normalcy for these kids.”

Dean Cain, best known for playing Clark Kent/Superman in “Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman,” was fed up with how things were run in California.

The actor split for Vegas in 2023.

“It’s the most ridiculous large government, incredible taxation, horrible regulations for business,” he told Fox News Digital in 2023. “Very anti-business.”

Cain said California’s personal income tax felt especially high.

“I moved to Las Vegas. I live in Nevada now,” he added. “I have 10 times as nice a house. I’m not kidding. Ten times as nice a house as I had in Malibu. The house is absolutely stunningly built. Gorgeous, beautiful. Everything is brand new.”

Kelly Clarkson felt she had a new lease on life when she moved to New York City last year.

After finalizing her divorce from ex-husband Brandon Blackstock in 2022, she didn’t just take her kids east. She also brought “The Kelly Clarkson Show” — it started taping in New York in season 5.

“I was very depressed for the last three years — and maybe a little before that, if I’m being honest. I think I really needed the change,” the Grammy winner told People. “I needed it for me and my family as well. My kids are thriving here. We’re just doing so much better, and we needed a fresh start.”

The Clooneys have lived the quieter life in Italy and France for years, but always had a home in LA, an English-style estate that George bought from Stevie Nicks back in 1995.

They finally sold that house in 2024 and now spend most of their time at their farmhouse in France with their twins, Ella and Alexander.

George told Esquire in 2025 why they left. “I was worried about raising our kids in L.A., in the culture of Hollywood,” he said. “I felt like they were never going to get a fair shake at life.”

“I don’t want them to be walking around worried about paparazzi,” he added. “I don’t want them being compared to somebody else’s famous kids.”

In late December 2025, George and Amal became French citizens.

Actor and director Jesse Eisenberg took the pandemic as an opportunity to leave Los Angeles. Eisenberg, his wife, and their son packed up an RV and drove to his wife’s hometown of Bloomington, Indiana.

“We have driven cross-country a lot, but we thought it would be prudent to isolate in an RV instead of stopping at hotels,” Eisenberg told The Hollywood Reporter in 2020.

Initially, Eisenberg moved to Indiana to help take care of his late mother-in-law after she got sick and also help out at a domestic violence shelter where she worked.

But Eisenberg was happy to be in Indiana.

“I’ve lived in Indiana for a decade on-and-off and that’s where I feel the most comfortable,” Eisenberg told CBS News in February. “I’m not somebody who wants to surround myself in an industry that just feels kind of unstable.”

Silverscreen superhero and Massachusetts native Chris Evans listed his Los Angeles home in May for $6.99 million, The Wall Street Journal reported, cementing his abandonment of California.

“After over a decade of amazing memories in his LA home, Chris is planning to move to the East Coast to be closer to family,” Evans’ listing agent Scott Moore said in a statement to People.

Evans married his wife, Alba Baptista, in Cape Cod, and now they both spend most of their time in Massachusetts.

“The White Lotus” star Walton Goggins and his wife, Nadia Conners, moved to New York’s Hudson Valley during the pandemic in 2021. But, he told Architectural Digest in February, the move was less about California, and more about New York.

“We weren’t running away from Los Angeles,” he said. “We were running toward something.”

“The pandemic opened windows of self-perception and possibility,” he added. “It was an opportunity to do something different, not to start over from scratch but to change, to evolve.”

Goggins, who was raised in Georgia, chose to live in a 1920s home upstate that resembles a hunting lodge — with an abundance of wood paneling and wood flooring — instead of the glitzy surroundings of Los Angeles.

John Goodman figured out a long time ago that Los Angeles wasn’t for him and has been living in New Orleans since the late 1980s.

Like many, the Emmy winner first visited Crescent City to party. In the late 1970s, he showed up with his fraternity pals. A few years later, as an actor, he was shooting the movie “Everybody’s All-American” alongside Dennis Quaid, Jessica Lange, and Timothy Hutton when he met his future wife, Anna Beth. He’s been attached to the city ever since.

“I used to come down here every time I’d get a few dimes to rub together, and it felt like I was missing something unless I was here,” he told “Today” in 2023. “I consider myself very lucky to be here.”

Adrian Grenier, known mostly from his “Entourage” fame, left California for Texas in 2020.

Grenier traded the glitzy life of Hollywood for a farm 45 minutes outside Austin, Texas, where he prefers a quieter lifestyle outside the spotlight.

“I don’t miss anything about that world. Listen, if you go on Instagram long enough, you’re going to find some FOMO somewhere, but everyone is just pretending they’re living their best life,” he told Life Magazine in 2021. “Ultimately, I know that I am, so I don’t even tell anybody about it.”

The actor recently gained renewed attention thanks to movies like “Oppenheimer” and “Trap,” but don’t expect to find him hanging out on the Sunset Strip. Since the pandemic, he’s ditched LA for the English countryside.

Hartnett and his wife, British actor Tamsin Egerton, have lived in Hampshire since COVID hit, bringing up their four kids. He’s living in the UK on a marriage visa, so he can only leave the country for work for around 180 days a year.

After spending his early career in the Hollywood spotlight, Hartnett told The Guardian he loves the village country life where “nobody cares” who you are.

“This is all brand new to me,” he said. “I never would have expected it. And time passes quickly. With four children, you have so much to do. In a way, less is happening. But more of the important stuff is happening.”

Being outside Hollywood is also safer for Hartnett. He told The Guardian that when he lived in LA, he had experiences with stalkers.

“People showed up at my house. People that were stalking me,” he said. “A guy showed up at one of my premieres with a gun, claiming to be my father. He ended up in prison. There were lots of things. It was a weird time. And I wasn’t going to be grist for the mill.”

Hemsworth figured out LA wasn’t for him right around the time the first “Thor” movie came out in 2011.

“We kind of were set up in LA and not enjoying it, you know?” Hemsworth said on the “SmartLess” podcast in February 2026, referring to him and his wife, fellow actor Elsa Pataky. “Like nothing was shooting there. We were filming kind of everywhere else and then you’d come home, and then paparazzi and all the sort of the trappings of, you know, living in that space.”

Hemsworth and Pataky moved with their two young children to Hemsworth’s native Australia and have been there ever since.

“You know, when you come back from work, you wanna go on a holiday? Like coming home for me is — it feels like a holiday,” Hemsworth said. “We have a big farm and horses and motorbikes and surf.”

A year after Nicole Kidman tied the knot with country-music star Keith Urban, the two got the heck out of LA.

In 2007, they moved to Nashville, where the Australian Oscar winner dove headfirst into Urban’s world.

“That country-music community is a very warm community,” she told People in 2016. “It’s very protective. Keith’s been a part of it for decades now. It’s his home, it’s our home.”

In September, Kidman filed for divorce from Urban.

Lohan has lived on both coasts, but she currently prefers to be in the United Arab Emirates, where she lives with her husband, financier Bader Shammas, and their two-year-old son.

In a May 2025 profile in Elle, Lohan said that when she was living in Los Angeles, she would be “stressed” about the paparazzi taking photos of her while at the park with her son. Living in New York, there’s a “different kind of energy” but not as much space. Living in Dubai, she gets it all.

“I get the privacy, I get the peace, I get the space,” she said. “I don’t have to worry there; I feel safe.”

The star and producer made the decision a few years ago to move out of Los Angeles.

She now splits her time between Mexico and Spain. She told Marie Claire in 2024 that she left Hollywood behind because it felt like that “chapter in my life is done now.”

While on “Live with Kelly and Mark” in April, Longoria said she loves traveling to the Andalucía region of Spain to enjoy the small beach bars and restaurants.

A few years before the McConaissance led to Matthew McConaughey’s best actor Oscar win, he and his wife, Camila Alves, fled Hollywood for his home state of Texas.

The two settled in Austin in 2012 after buying a 10,800-square-foot mansion. According to a profile in Southern Living, it was initially because of a “family crisis,” as he needed to help his mother and two brothers. That led to the couple deciding to stay put to raise their three children there.

“Ritual came back,” McConaughey said of being back in Texas. “Whether that was Sunday church, sports, dinner together as a family every night, or staying up after that telling stories in the kitchen, sitting at the island pouring drinks and nibbling while retelling them all in different ways than we told them before.”

After 21 years on the grind in LA, Metz packed up and left town when the pandemic hit. She now resides in Nashville.

“There’s a lot going on,” “The Hunting Wives” star told People in April 2025. “There’s obviously great music, great food. I grew up in the South, so I’m used to sort of that hospitality — it feels more communal here. In LA it was always like, ‘Oh, you have an audition? What’s it for? Oh, you have an audition? What for?’ It was all very dog eat dog!”

Glen Powell left Los Angeles and returned to his home state of Texas in 2024.

Powell, who had a breakout role in “Top Gun: Maverick,” has lived in Los Angeles for more than 15 years, but told The Hollywood Reporter in 2024 that he’s done enough in Hollywood and he feels he can now live elsewhere. “It’s like I’ve earned the ability to go back to my family,” he said.

Not only does living in Texas allow Powell to be closer to family, but he’s also finishing his degree at the University of Texas.

“I think this is going to be good for my head, heart, and soul,” he said.

When you know, you know. After less than a year of dating, Ryan Reynolds and Blake Lively packed up their stuff and left Hollywood for the suburbs of New York City.

In 2012, after six months of dating, the couple bought a $2.3 million home in Pound Ridge, New York.

“We don’t live in LA. We live on a farm in New York,” said the “Deadpool” star in a 2015 interview. “And we don’t lead a wild and crazy life. It’s not that hard. It’s not a big deal.”

The Oscar winner realized many years ago that Los Angeles wasn’t for her.

Roberts moved to a 32-acre ranch in Taos, New Mexico, in 1995.

The “Pretty Woman” star told Oprah back in 2003 that in New Mexico, everything is “clear.”

“Around here, I come and go like it’s nothing,” she said. “Los Angeles is such a town of show business, and I’m a terrible celebrity. I find it difficult — it’s the beast that must be fed.”

With movies like “Mean Girls” and “Mamma Mia!” in her filmography, you would think Amanda Seyfried would want to lay her head down somewhere glamorous.

But she actually prefers life on a farm.

Seyfried spends most of her time on a farm in the Catskills, a mountain range north of New York City, that she purchased in 2014, Architectural Digest reported in 2023.

“It’s insane how much I can feel so accomplished and successful here without having to be in a successful movie,” she told The New York Times in 2020.

After decades of living in Los Angeles — including in his first dingy apartment on Balboa Boulevard, which would become the inspiration for his iconic character Rocky Balboa — Sylvester Stallone packed up and left town in 2023.

This was first revealed in early 2024, during season two of his reality series “The Family Stallone”.

“After a long, hard consideration, your mother and I have decided, time to move on and leave the state of California permanently, and we’re going to go to Florida,” Stallone said. “We’re going to sell this house.”

Stallone and his wife, Jennifer Flavin, gave multiple reasons for the relocation, including the desire for a fresh start after their children moved out of the family home.

The legendary rocker decided that at 79 years old, it was time to stop traveling across the pond.

In 2023, he put his sprawling 38,500-square-foot Beverly Hills property, which he has lived in since 1975, on the market.

Selling the home is bittersweet for Stewart: “I don’t want to sell it, and the kids don’t want me to sell it either,” he told People in 2023. “There’s too many fond memories. I’ve lived [in LA] since 1975, and I adore the place.”

But he said he’s making England a more permanent home since wrapping up his latest world tour and Las Vegas residency.

“Modern Family” star Eric Stonestreet did not mince words when he explained why he’s been living in Kansas City since the acclaimed show ended after 11 seasons in 2020.

In a September 2024 interview with long-form interview journalist Graham Bensinger, he said a big reason he left LA was to get away from all the fake people in Hollywood.

“What I realized it does is it highlights everything great about our business, the entertainment business,” the actor said on what it’s like to no longer live in LA. “And it highlights all the douchebaggery of our business. It amplifies it. Because I’m here, I’m dealing with people from here, and I’m going into the store and having all these authentic, real moments, and then I go to Hollywood, and you’re reminded of some of the types of people that you deal with.”

The Oscar winner is loving her new life in the mountains of Telluride, Colorado, on 168 acres with five rescue dogs.

She and her husband, Philip Schneider, bought the land in 2016, broke ground in 2018, and finally completed the home in 2020.

A year later, she put her LA home on the market and has been living it up in the great outdoors.

“I have been looking for land since I was in my mid-20s,” Swank told Architectural Digest in 2022. “I find nature to be my happiest place, and animals are my other happiest place. And to be with both of them is everything to me.”

Boston-born Mark Wahlberg set out to LA years ago to make it as an actor. Over his career, he realized he rarely stayed there to make any of his movies. So, in 2022, he packed up and moved his family to Las Vegas.

He told The Talk in October 2022 that in Nevada his four kids can more easily pursue their hobbies, including golfing, riding horses, and playing basketball.

“We came here to just kind of give ourselves a new look, a fresh start for the kids, and there’s a lot of opportunity here,” Wahlberg told The Talk. “I’m really excited about the future.”

Ivanka arrived at Trump’s 2017 inauguration in a white pantsuit from Oscar de la Renta. The suit consisted of slim-fitting pants and a fitted, asymmetrical jacket, which she accessorized with an American flag pin.

The look was stylish, though Ivanka’s choice to wear a suit was a bit surprising.

Hillary Clinton, Trump’s opponent in the 2016 presidential race, is well-known for wearing pantsuits. Clinton’s inauguration suit was also white, making it hard not to compare Ivanka’s and Clinton’s looks.

Ivanka and her sister, Tiffany Trump, also had a matching moment at the 2017 inauguration.

Ivanka changed into a ball gown by Carolina Herrera for the 2017 inaugural balls.

The champagne-toned gown featured a V-neckline, and the bodice, top of the skirt, and semi-sheer sleeves were all covered in sparkly embellishments.

Celebratory and elegant, the dress was a good fit for the occasion.

Ivanka attended the joint session of Congress in a form-fitting Roland Mouret dress. The dress hit her at the knee and featured a diagonal peplum across the waist.

The dress also had an asymmetrical neckline with a black spaghetti strap on one shoulder. The strap looked more like a bra peeking out from the garment than a part of the dress, making the whole look feel too casual for the event.

Ivanka’s closed-toe heels also looked clunky with the slim-fitted dress.

Ivanka’s pink dress for the 2017 G20 summit cinched at her waist and flared to her knees.

The long sleeves were form-fitting until they flared at her elbow. A bow also sat on each sleeve.

The combination of the flared fabric and bows made the sleeves look too heavy, detracting from the chic aspects of the rest of the dress.

The look would have been stronger with more streamlined sleeves.

Ivanka attended the 2018 Curling Men’s Gold Medal Game in South Korea in a red-and-navy Aquazzura dress.

The sweater dress had long sleeves and a high neckline, and the stripes appeared to wrap diagonally around her figure. She paired the dress with knee-high, laced boots.

Although the dress was on theme for the event, the stripes were a bit overwhelming to the eye. The look would have been stronger if the stripes didn’t crisscross.

When she watched the bobsleigh competition, Ivanka fit right in with Team USA. She paired red pants with a white, red, and blue sweater and accessorized the look with a coordinating coat and a Team USA hat.

Ivanka wore a flared jumpsuit to the Generation Next Summit in March 2018.

It had a V-neckline and was belted at the waist, creating a summery look. However, Ivanka wore a black turtleneck under it, which had a different tone and looked out of place with the jumpsuit.

She could have paired the jumpsuit with a blazer or a cropped jacket instead.

Ivanka wore an elegant Oscar de la Renta dress to the White House in April 2018 to welcome French Prime Minister Emmanuel Macron.

The midi-length dress had quarter-length sleeves and hugged Ivanka’s figure. Its asymmetrical neckline was adorned with white fabric that formed a knot on one side.

The dress was simple and chic.

Alexis Nalani designed the midi-length dress, which was white and covered in a layer of black lace.

The bodice had a high neckline, and the sleeves and skirt were made of tiers of ruffles. The lace and ruffles were too much together, and Ivanka’s embellished shoes didn’t help tone the look down.

The silhouette and fabric could have been pretty on different dresses, but together, they were distracting.

Walking across the White House lawn, Ivanka wore a red, fitted blazer with coordinating, cropped pants. She wore red pumps with the bright look.

Bold and well-tailored, the suit was a win for Ivanka.

Ivanka wore a white top and matching skirt made of textured fabric for a White House briefing in October 2018. The top featured a subtle peplum and coordinating flared sleeves.

Ivanka added a wide taupe belt to her waist, which matched her pointed-toe shoes.

The belt was a misstep for the look, as it looked outdated with the more traditional silhouette. She could have skipped the belt or opted for a thinner version.

During a visit to Google’s offices in October 2019, Ivanka wore ankle-length green trousers with a coordinating blazer.

She wore a black top underneath the jacket, which matched her pointed-toe black shoes. The look was stylish and professional.

Joining her father for the January 2020 “White House Summit on Human Trafficking,” Ivanka wore a white wrap dress made of a thick fabric.

The bottom of her sleeves flared, as did the skirt, and the dress cinched at the waist with a thick bow. The choice of fabric and wrap style made the dress look more like a bathrobe than a dress.

A sleeker silhouette or fabric would have made the dress more stylish.

When her father was on the campaign trail, Lela Rose designed the sundress Ivanka wore in North Carolina in August 2020.

The midi dress had a high neckline and a form-fitting bodice covered in blue floral embroidery that spilled onto the flared skirt.

She accessorized the look with white open-toe heels and an off-white purse, completing the summery, feminine ensemble.

Ivanka was photographed at the White House with her husband in a turtleneck, brown boots, and a tan, double-breasted coat. She completed the look with sunglasses.

The relaxed outfit was a nice change of pace for Ivanka, and it complemented the fall weather perfectly.

After lying low since her father left office in 2021, Ivanka appeared in an off-white, sparkly set from Lapointe at Kim Kardashian’s birthday party in October 2023.

The long-sleeve, cropped top was slightly loose, while the high-waisted skirt was form-fitting until a thigh-high slit cut up her leg.

Nude Christian Louboutin heels with curved detailing completed the festive look.

Ivanka attended the grand opening of Fontainebleau Las Vegas in a Monique Lhuillier gown.

The strapless dress’ bodice was black, while the form-fitting skirt was covered in reflective silver fabric.

It was pretty, but the dress would have been stronger if it were completely sparkly, especially for an event in Las Vegas.

Self-Portrait designed the tennis-inspired yellow dress Ivanka wore to the Miami Open in March 2024.

The dress featured ribbed fabric, ruffled long sleeves, a flared collar, and buttons down the front. If that wasn’t enough, the two sets of pockets on her waist and chest were distracting from the figure-hugging silhouette, particularly when combined with everything else the dress had going on.

Without the pockets, the dress would have been a great choice for the event.

The garment’s square neckline gave way to an exposed corset adorned with subtle, sparkly embroidery.

A swath of fabric cut across the short skirt, adding dimension to the look. She paired the dress with simple heels and a clutch, completing the sexy look.

Ivanka stepped away from her more daring looks when it came time for her father to return to the White House.

Ahead of the 2025 inauguration, Ivanka wore an Oscar de la Renta coat with a matching dress. The bottom half of the camel-colored coat was embellished with three-dimensional floral appliques, which added a stylish touch to the monochromatic look.

Ivanka arrived at the 2025 inauguration in a complete hunter-green outfit, a refreshing color for the ceremony that usually sees people wearing shades of red, white, or blue.

Dior designed her asymmetrical blazer, pencil skirt, and coordinating headpiece. She wore a thin belt around her waist, which matched her black tights and pointed-toe heels.

The ensemble put a high-fashion twist on familiar skirt sets seen around DC.

Ivanka attended the 2025 inaugural balls in a custom Givenchy gown, a recreation of the dress Hubert de Givenchy designed for Audrey Hepburn to wear in “Sabrina,” a 1954 rom-com.

The strapless dress, cinched at the waist, had a slim-fitted skirt that hit Ivanka above her ankles. A detached train flowed out behind her. Black floral embellishments adorned the bodice, skirt, and train, and Ivanka paired them with matching black gloves and shoes.

She also wore over $1.1 million in diamond jewelry throughout the inauguration.

Nodding to a Hollywood icon at the inaugural balls didn’t make sense from a historical fashion perspective. Plus, Ivanka’s choice to wear black gloves rather than white, as Hepburn did, diminished the effect of the recreation. She should have saved the look for another occasion.

Ivanka accompanied her father to the 2025 Super Bowl in New Orleans.

She wore a white set from Akris, pairing a vest with coordinating pants and a chunky brown belt. The belt looked out of place with the sleek ensemble, and the set felt overly formal for the football game.

The ensemble would have been a better choice for an event at the White House.

Ivanka attended an NBA All-Star game in San Francisco in February. She wore black leather pants and a denim jacket, and her hair was loose around her shoulders.

The ensemble was sporty and chic, striking a perfect tone for the event.

Ivanka continued to experiment with her non-White House attire in May 2025, wearing a gold dress designed by Andrea Almeida to attend an Amex x Carbone event.

The dress had a high neckline and hit Ivanka mid-thigh, and it was made of strands of gold fabric that curved around her body. Gold shoes completed the daring outfit.

Although she found a sweet spot in her personal style, Ivanka’s political style was hit or miss in 2025.

For instance, she attended a flag-raising ceremony at the White House in June in a red skirt suit. The jacket had a high neckline, a peplum waistline, and short sleeves that puffed out over her shoulders.

The bulky structure made the suit look ill-fitting, and Ivanka almost looked lost in the fabric.

Ivanka and Kushner were among the famous guests at the multi-day Bezos wedding in Venice, rubbing elbows with celebrities like Kim Kardashian and billionaires, including Bill Gates.

Ivanka wore a parade of stylish outfits for the affair, but her best look of the weekend was an Oscar de la Renta minidress. The pink-and-white ombré dress sparkled and was embroidered with three-dimensional cherry blossoms on the skirt, bodice, and halter neckline.

The dress retails for $9,990 online.

Powerhouses in the tech and media industries flocked to Idaho for the annual Allen & Co. Sun Valley Conference, and Ivanka was among the attendees.

On July 10, 2025, Ivanka was photographed grabbing coffee with Wendy Murdoch in a white dress. The dress had a collar neckline, long sleeves, and buttons down the center, and it cinched at the waist with a bow.

She paired polka dot ballet flats with the dress for a look that felt both casual and professional.

The nonprofit Reform Alliance hosted its annual casino night and gala in September 2025, raising funds for prison reform.

A slew of celebrities were on the guest list for the Atlantic City event, from cochair Jay-Z to performer The Weeknd.

Ivanka dressed to impress in a Georges Hobeika Couture gown that was covered in silver sequins atop semi-sheer fabric. The dress had an off-the-shoulder neckline with a swath of fabric covering the bodice, while the skirt hugged her figure before flowing out into a train.

Ivanka played up the shimmering fabric with silver heels and jewelry.

Ivanka attended an MLS Cup Playoff game between Inter Miami CF and Nashville SC in Florida in November 2025.

She wore all-denim to the event, pairing a Reformation dress with a Levi’s trucker jacket. She accessorized with black sunglasses, a Bottega Veneta bag, and Adidas sneakers.

The outfit had a lot of potential, but the dark wash of her dress didn’t work with the black sneakers. A black dress would have been a better choice than the dark navy, both because it would match the shoes and make her jacket pop.

Ivanka sat with her siblings at the February 2026 State of the Union in an ombré Oscar de la Renta ensemble.

Her blazer, which was dark gray at the top and faded into silver, had a high, scooped neckline and was cinched at her waist. The pencil skirt, which continued the silver color, had a straight silhouette.

The suit was pretty, but it had a more mature look than other outfits Ivanka had favored in recent months. It may have felt more youthful for the first daughter to pair the jacket with trousers rather than wear the full suit.
