Jonah Hill says having kids with wife Olivia Millar pushed him to move out of Los Angeles.
“I live in a very small town in San Diego, and it’s amazing, and my neighbors are incredible people,” Hill, 42, said during a “SmartLess” podcast live show in L.A. on Saturday, April 25. “When we had our first kid, we moved out there three years ago.”
The actor added, “I wanted to leave L.A. and raise a family outside of Los Angeles.”
Hill and Millar were first spotted together in August 2022. They sparked engagement rumors the following year. Details about their wedding have been kept under wraps, but Hill confirmed during an Interview magazine profile alongside director Martin Scorsese earlier this month that Millar is his wife.
“My best friend. Shout-out to my beautiful wife, Liv,” Hill told the crowd on Saturday. “Where is she? Oh, what’s up, baby?”
The couple share two kids, the first born in June 2023. It’s unclear when Millar gave birth to their second child, but Hill confirmed in the same Interview profile that he is a father of two.
“I have two kids now. The only thing that could ever separate me from my family is the editing room,” Hill said. “I love the writing, I love the shooting, but editing — It’s like dessert every day. Even the problems are dessert.”
During Saturday’s “SmartLess” live show, Hill told podcast hosts Jason Bateman, Will Arnett and Sean Hayes that living in San Diego has allowed him to step back from his fame. Hill credited his “cool” neighbors for never bringing up his acting career.
“They never treat me weird or ask me about my job or anything,” the actor continued. “And my neighbor is one of my great friends, Dr. Sean, he never asked. He’s here tonight. He never bothered me or was like, ‘Oh, what’s this person like?’”
Because Hill grew up in L.A., the actor did say he would always have a connection to the city.
“L.A. was such a cool place to grow up in the ’90s because 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 added. “You had access to show business stuff, but you had access to punk and skating and graffiti and all the naughty stuff.”
Hill noted there “was no internet” at the time, making his childhood “awesome.”
