Press Release: Hollywood Exits—Celebrities Trade LA for New Beginnings
Date: [Insert Date]
In recent years, Los Angeles has witnessed an exodus of prominent celebrities seeking refuge from the pressures of Hollywood and the challenges of urban living. Factors such as rising crime rates, housing unaffordability, and political polarization have prompted a cultural shift, as stars prioritize privacy, quality of life, and family well-being.
Kelly Clarkson made headlines in 2022 when she left LA for New York City, aiming for a fresh start following her divorce. The new environment has positively impacted her mental health and work rhythm, as her show airs from NYC. Similarly, Sylvester Stallone turned to South Florida in early 2025, seeking a quieter life amid concerns over rising chaos in LA.
Celebrity couple Jessica Biel and Justin Timberlake have retreated to Montana and Tennessee since 2018, aiming to provide a more private and safer upbringing for their children, while Amanda Seyfried has chosen to reside on a serene farm in upstate New York for better mental health.
Mark Wahlberg relocated to Summerlin, Nevada, in 2022, desiring a more community-focused lifestyle for his family. Richard Gere also took his family abroad, moving to Madrid to support his wife’s cultural ties while actively engaging in philanthropic efforts.
Eva Longoria expressed concerns over the current U.S. political landscape, opting to spend more time in Spain and Mexico, where she focuses on meaningful projects. In a surprising turn, Rosie O’Donnell moved to Ireland in early 2025, finding solace in its progressive politics. Lastly, Courtney Love became a British citizen in 2025, citing political instability in America as a motivator for her relocation.
This wave of relocation highlights a transformation within Hollywood, with stars redefining their lives and careers beyond the glitz of Sunset Boulevard. As they forge new paths in search of peace and purpose, it’s clear that the allure of traditional Hollywood is fading.
