Add Page Six on Google Kellan Lutz said this week that he left California three years ago for Tennessee after the pandemic.
“I love California, I really do,” he explained on “Inside of You” with Michael Rosenbaum. “The whole Tennessee move happened when we had our second kid.”
The “Twilight” actor said they moved from Orange County – and his wife, Brittany Lutz, hopes to eventually move back there or at least to be “bi-ish coastal.”
Lutz’s wife was born and raised in Orange County. “Her family is awesome. But post-COVID, a lot of people flew, like fled California. A lot of people lost jobs and wanted to move somewhere a little bit more peace given.”
His wife’s family chose to leave California, and he said they followed them to Tennessee, mainly because otherwise she wouldn’t have had a support system when he goes on location for work, and she’s left at home with the children.
“And one of the kids got sick. She felt really out of control as far as not being able to bring both kids there or just kind of helpless. So, she’s like, ‘Can we move?’ I’m like, ‘Yeah, of course,” he explained.

“Then when they decided to move, I was like, “OK, well, we’re going to do it. We’re going to give it a couple years and we have, and it’s great. There’s a lot of great things about Tennessee, especially Franklin where we live.”
The family moved to Tennessee three years ago, but he acknowledged he doesn’t know how long they’ll stay.
“We got some land, got great Bible studies that we’re a part of, great churches, great community,” he said.

I’ve gone to probably more movie premieres in Franklin, Tennessee, than I have in LA, you know, the last couple years since I lived there.”
“Like we aren’t seasons people,” he said. “There’s tornadoes. My wife goes on red alert, especially when you have kids. And we do miss good sushi and good Mexican food.”
