Christina Milian
From AM to PM, the singer is living in Paris
“My husband is French, and we’ve been together for over seven or eight years,” Christina, who is married to singer Matt Pokora, said on a November 2024 episode of The Jennifer Hudson Show. “And for the last three or four years we were commuting back and forth every six months.”
However, they decided to officially say au revoir to the U.S. so her kids—who include daughter Violet from her former marriage with The-Dream and sons Isaiah and Kenna from her union with Matt—could study in France.
“They’re all going to school in Paris,” she continued. “I was like, ‘What better than an opportunity than that?”
And life for the family appears to be magnifique.
“My kids are happy there,” the Dexter: Original Sin actress told E! in December 2024. “They know French. We go to the park. I have an active lifestyle that’s really nice during the day. Then at night time, I do my work because I work hours ahead. It’s a nice, healthy balance for me.”

Lindsay is tired of rumors starting about why she left Los Angeles.
So, she set the record straight while looking back at her hectic work schedule and partying in the aughts.
“I feel like some of [my work] got overshadowed by paparazzi and all that kind of stuff when I was younger, and that’s kind of annoying,” The Parent Trap alum told Bustle in March 2024. “I wish that part didn’t happen. I feel like that kind of took on a life of its own. So that’s why I wanted to disappear. I was like, ‘Unless there’s no story here, they’re not going to focus on just my work.'”
Lindsay moved abroad—first to London then to Dubai (also opening beach clubs in Greece). However, there was another reason she sought a life away from the spotlight.
“I was like, ‘What if I never fall in love? What if this never happens?'” the Mean Girls star added. “And it took me just taking time for me for all those doors to open and the ‘yeses’ to come—the things I wanted to say ‘yes’ to.”
Of course, Lindsay did find love with Bader Shammas, the pair marrying in 2022 and welcoming son Luai the following year.
They still live in Dubai, but the Freaky Friday actress hasn’t left the Hollywood industry completely, starring in movies like Our Little Secret, Irish Wish and Freakier Friday.

For Josh, the decision to leave Hollywood came after some self-reflection.
“Hollywood is more than a place; it’s like a state of mind,” the Black Mirror actor told People in July 2024. “If you’re around people who are constantly talking about the movie business, your life is going to be pretty much one note. And I’ve never wanted that.”
Instead, he wanted more.
“I’ve always wanted to be around … people generally doing lots of other things that would bring my mind off of my work and force me to grow in different directions,” Josh added. “To me, that’s the spice of life.”
So, the Black Hawk Down alum, his wife Tamsin Egerton and their four kids moved to England’s Hampshire countryside.
“Time passes quickly,” he told The Guardian in July 2024. “With four children, you have so much to do. In a way, less is happening. But more of the important stuff is happening.”
Still, Josh has stayed plenty busy and landed roles in Verity, Fight or Flight and Trap.
