Jonah Hill breaks down decision to ditch Los Angeles with wife Olivia Millar, 2 kids
Get him to San Diego.
Jonah Hill opened up about his decision to leave Los Angeles with his wife, Olivia Millar, and their two kids during a live “SmartLess” podcast taping Saturday, according to People.
“So I live in a very small town in San Diego, [California],” the actor, 42, told audience members over the weekend. “When we had our first kid, we moved out there three years ago.”
The couple, notably, started their family in 2023.
“I wanted to leave L.A. and raise a family outside of Los Angeles,” the “Outcome” star continued, clarifying that he travels to and from Hollywood to work.
Hill went on to gush over his “incredible” and “cool” neighbors.
“They never treat me weird or ask me about my job or anything,” he said. “And my neighbor is one of my great friends Dr. Sean. … He never bothered me or was like, ‘Oh, what’s this person like?’”
The Oscar nominee, who revealed earlier this month that he had married Millar and welcomed baby No. 2, noted that he liked growing up in Tinseltown in the ’90s.
“You could go skateboard downtown or you could sneak into a movie premiere or you could go sneak into a comedy club and see Chris Rock or something,” he remembered.
“You had access to show business stuff, but you had access to punk and skating and graffiti and all the naughty stuff,” Hill continued. “And there was no internet. It was just so awesome.”
Elsewhere in the podcast with co-hosts Will Arnett, Jason Bateman and Sean Hayes, Hill gave a “shoutout to [his] beautiful wife” in attendance.
Hill called Millar his best friend and asked, “What’s up, baby?”
The couple sparked romance rumors in 2022, with the vintage boutique co-founder debuting her baby bump the following year.
After Millar gave birth in the summer of 2023, Hill’s ex Sarah Brady accused the Golden Globe nominee of emotional abuse and released screenshots of text messages from their time together.
Brady, 29, defended “waiting” until Hill became a dad to blast him publicly in a July 2023 voice memo shared to Instagram.
“I didn’t want [Millar] to have to see all of this while she was pregnant because I didn’t know what kind of stress that would cause her and her baby physically,” the surfer said, sharing her hopes Millar would “make an informed decision of how she wants to care for herself and her baby.”
Hill, who deleted his account on the social media platform in 2022, has never spoken out about the backlash.
