“She took my children and me, and provided us with a home and a safe space.”<\/h2>\n
Not all celebrities live in mansions and penthouse apartments. If they\u2019re just starting their career or if they\u2019ve made it big, sometimes stars need a little help when it comes to housing. And when times get tough, many celebs turn to their friends. Quite a few famous faces have admitted that they\u2019ve crashed with their pals in their time of need, whether they\u2019ve fallen on tough times or just need a temporary spot away from Hollywood. Thankfully, these stars had friends who were happy to help, even if it meant lending them their house!<\/p>\n

Taylor Swift & Sophie Turner<\/h3>\n
Shortly after Sophie Turner<\/strong><\/a> and ex Joe Jonas<\/strong><\/a> split, the actress didn\u2019t have a place to go while she was living in New York City. She reached out to her pal Taylor Swift <\/strong><\/a>to see if she knew anyone who was renting — and Taylor stepped in to offer up her apartment for free while Sophie was figuring out her new living situation.<\/p>\n \u201cTaylor was an absolute hero to me this year,\u201d she told British Vogue<\/strong><\/em><\/a>. \u201cI\u2019ve never been more grateful to anyone than I am for her because she took my children and me, and provided us with a home and a safe space.<\/p>\n Back when Ed Sheeran<\/strong><\/a> was just an aspiring artist hoping to get his foot in the door, he approached Jamie Foxx<\/strong><\/a> about appearing on his radio show, which often featured up-and-coming artists. Jamie liked what he heard and ended up allowing Ed to live at his home for six weeks while he worked on music in Los Angeles. He even got him a slot at an open mic night where he performed in front of an audience of 800 incredible musicians.<\/p>\n \u201cHe plays on [the show] and is incredible so I said, \u2018I know you don\u2019t have anywhere to go so just chill here.\u2019 I said, \u2018Listen man, I think you got the goods but I got to check you out so I took him down to this show that I was doing, a live night every Monday night in Downtown LA…He went out there on a ukulele and got a standing ovation in 12 minutes and the rest was history,\u201d Jamie said on The Graham Norton Show<\/strong><\/em><\/a>.<\/p>\n <\/a> How Sophie Turner’s ‘Flirting’ Caused Celeb Couple to End Their Engagement – Click image for related story<\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n Ed also benefited from the kindness of Courteney Cox<\/strong><\/a>. While he was working on his second album, she allowed him to live at her beach house — and in return, he ended up introducing her to her longtime partner, Snow Patrol’s Johnny McDaid.<\/p>\n \u201cI ended up spending a lot of time living in [Courteney\u2019s] beach house, while bumping into all these random people,\u201d he once shared<\/strong><\/a>. \u201cWe spent Thanksgiving eve at Jennifer [Aniston]<\/strong><\/a>\u2019s and Thanksgiving day at Courteney\u2019s.\u201d<\/p>\n When late Broadway star Nick Cordero was hospitalized with life-threatening coronavirus complications, his best friend Zach Braff <\/strong><\/a>stepped in to take care of his family. While Nick was in the hospital and after his untimely death, his wife Amanda Kloots <\/strong><\/a>and their son Elvis lived in Zach\u2019s guest house in Los Angeles.<\/p>\n \u201cI mean, [his support]\u2019s meant everything. He literally gave us a home to live in — so talk about a rock,\u201d Amanda later told ET<\/strong><\/em><\/a>. \u201cIt was a safe place to be and was a place that I felt comforted in and supported in — it was kinda like this little safe haven. He\u2019s just been such a dear, close friend and we both have suffered through so much together.\u201d<\/p>\n When Meghan Markle<\/strong><\/a> and Prince Harry<\/strong><\/a> stepped back from their royal duties and moved across the pond, they lost their government-provided security. Living in Canada, they were swarmed by paparazzi and felt unsafe. Meghan ended up reaching out to Tyler Perry,<\/strong><\/a> who helped them acquire their own personal security and let them live at his home until they could find a safe place to be.<\/p>\n \u201cHe sent me a letter before the wedding just saying he was praying for me and that if I ever need anything, he would be there. Months and months and months went by. And then one day, when we were in Canada, I had called him. Finally, after years at that point, first time we ever spoke, and I was just a wreck, I was just crying and crying. Sometimes, it\u2019s just easier to open up to someone who knows nothing at all. And that was that moment with me and Tyler,\u201d Meghan shared in her Netflix docuseries, Harry & Meghan<\/strong><\/em><\/a>.<\/p>\n <\/a> 9 Celebs Who Had to Financially Cut Off Their Family – Click image for related story<\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n Amid Harry Styles<\/strong><\/a>\u2019 rise to fame, he moved out of his family\u2019s home and bought a place in London. While the home was getting renovated, he needed a place to stay — and his friend, producer and director Ben Winston, allowed Harry to move into his family\u2019s home. Harry ended up living in their attic for almost two years.<\/p>\n \u201cThose 20 months were when [One Direction] went from being on a reality show, The X Factor<\/em>, to being the biggest-selling artists in the world. That period of time, he was living with us in the most mundane suburban situation. No one ever found out, really. Even when we went out for a meal, it’s such a sweet family neighborhood, no one dreamed it was actually him. But he made our house a home. And when he moved out, we were gutted,\u201d Ben shared with Rolling Stone<\/strong><\/em><\/a>.<\/p>\n Before Taylor Swift purchased her famed New York City apartment, it was owned by Lord of the Rings<\/em> director Peter Jackson<\/strong><\/a>. At the time that it was sold, he was letting Sir Ian McKellen<\/strong><\/a> live there for free. Since the property was sold, Taylor ended up having to kick him out.<\/p>\n \u201cWhen I was living in Peter Jackson\u2019s apartment in New York, Taylor Swift bought it while I was there and I was thrown out before I wanted to leave!\u201d he told Gay Star News<\/strong><\/a>. \u201cShe bought [the apartment], she had every right to — I was just lodging there for free! She did ask me to appear with Patrick Stewart<\/strong><\/a> at her show in LA, but I had something else to do that night.\u201d<\/p>\n Before Justin Timberlake<\/strong><\/a> and Ryan Gosling<\/strong><\/a> were massive superstars, they lived together while working on The Mickey Mouse Club<\/em>. After moving to Los Angeles, Ryan had initially been living with his mom, but she had to return to Canada for a job, so Justin\u2019s family offered to house the young actor.<\/p>\n \u201cMy mom was his guardian for like six months. We actually lived together … We were probably a little closer than the rest of the kids that were on the show just because we had to share a bathroom,\u201d Justin said on The Ellen DeGeneres Show<\/strong><\/em><\/a>.<\/p>\n <\/a> 10 Celebrities Who Grew Up Mormon – Click image for related story<\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n When YouTube star Colleen Ballinger was first finding success as a social media star, she found a support system in Ariana Grande<\/strong><\/a> and her family. They even allowed Colleen to live with them for a period of time.<\/p>\n \u201cI love the Grandes so much. They will always be family to me no matter what … The Grandes were the first people to ever really believe in me as a performer, as a comedian. They took me in as a stranger. They didn’t know who I was and they invited me to stay with them in New York City,\u201d Colleen shared in a YouTube video<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n <\/a> Celebrity Hair Makeovers of 2025 – Click image to open gallery<\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n \u2018 The preceding article may include information circulated by third parties \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n \u2018 Some details of this article were extracted from the following source www.yahoo.com \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" “She took my children and me, and provided us with a home and a safe space.” Not all celebrities live in mansions and penthouse apartments.
