Tyra Banks
One of the reasons the America’s Next Top Model host moved to Australia? To stay on top of her ice cream brand.
“So I have this ice cream company, SMiZE and Dream,” Tyra explained on an April 2025 episode of Today with Jenna & Friends. “But we’ve been more what we call B2B, like on an airplane and on cruises. I’ve been going to Australia a lot because we were making a lot of our ice cream there in a big facility doing our recipes. And I just fell in love with it every time I went back and went back.”
Not only was she happy there, but she also knew it was a good market for her business.
“The three countries that eat the most ice cream?” she continued. “America, New Zealand and Australia.”
So, the supermodel moved to Australia with her son York (his dad is her ex Erik Asla) and boyfriend Louis Bélanger-Martin, noting, “Australia has been a dream come true for me and my family.”

While it’s been a minute since the Desperate Housewives star lived on Wisteria Lane, she’s since found a new address IRL.
“I had my whole adult life here,” Eva told Marie Claire in November 2024 about leaving Los Angeles. “But even before [the pandemic], it was changing. The vibe was different. And then Covid happened, and it pushed it over the edge. Whether it’s the homelessness or the taxes, not that I want to s–t on California—it just feels like this chapter in my life is done now.”
So for the past few years, the actress, her husband José Bastón and their son Santiago have split their time between Mexico and Spain.
“I’m privileged,” she continued. “I get to escape and go somewhere. Most Americans aren’t so lucky. They’re going to be stuck in this dystopian country, and my anxiety and sadness is for them.”
However, Eva noted her move wasn’t because of President Trump’s re-election.
“I didn’t leave because of the political environment,” the Flamin’ Hot director said on The View: Behind the Table podcast in November 2024. “I left because my work took me there since Land of Women—shooting six months in Catalonia, then four months in Mexico for Searching for Mexico, then back to Spain. Now I’ve been there for years. So I just don’t like that it’s politicized.”
Since moving, Eva has continued to stay busy, with recent projects including her roles in Only Murders in the Building and Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Road Trip.

The actor has gone from Chicago to Spain.
“My wife is Spanish, and she gave me about seven years here,” Richard said of Galicia native Alejandra Silva on a November 2024 episode of The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon. “And so we’re going to spend some years in Madrid.”
He also expressed his excitement over what the move would give the couple’s young sons Alexander and James.
“Our kids are bilingual,” Richard, who also has an adult son Homer with ex Carey Lowell, added, “so they’re going to flourish there.”
Indeed, it seems the whole family has.
“The truth is that you are seeing us in our momentum,” The Agency: Central Intelligence star told Elle España in January 2025. “We are happier than ever.”
