Stars Trade Red Carpets for Ranches

0:00It's April 29th. This is entertainment and celebrity news, AI-powered stories from the world of fame. I'm Cory with the story. Plenty of big-name celebs are ditching the bright lights of New York City in Los Angeles for quieter spots in rural areas or suburbs. Stars like Josh DuHommel, who's now in Minnesota with his family on a cabin he built himself, and Amanda Saferead on her cat skills farm in New York. Raising chickens and horses, they're chasing that wide open space vibe away from the Hollywood grind. Others are following suit for family reasons. Mark Wahlberg moved so his kids could chase dreams like equestrian sports and golf without the city chaos. Jason Seagull settled in a small farm town after his show wrapped, loving the anonymity at local football games. Chris Pratt tinned sheep on his Washington ranch, and the game's family stays rooted on their 40 acre spot in Waco, Texas. These moves hit home for folks craving normalcy. DuHommel talked about a calling to work with his hands again, fixing things in the Midwest.

Even veterans like Tom Selec on his Ventura ranch and Julia Roberts in New Mexico say it's peaceful, keeping them sane in mid-careers. Recent shifts keep the trend rolling. Jonah Hill relocated to a tiny San Diego town in 2023 for his kids, while Zach Galipianicus heads to rural British Columbia, calling Hollywood, a mismatch. Nikki Glazer returned to St. Louis post-COVID to ditch status chasing and focus on family meals. It's clear these stars are rewriting the script, trading red carpets for ranches in real life, proving famed doesn't have to mean frenzy.
