Relocating to a Small San Diego Community
Actor Jonah Hill, 42, disclosed during a live “SmartLess” podcast taping on April 25, 2026 that he and his wife, Olivia Millar, have been living in “a very small town in San Diego” for three years. The move coincided with the birth of their first child, after which the family settled outside the Los Angeles metropolitan area while Hill continues to travel to Hollywood for work.
Motivations and Lifestyle Preferences
Hill framed the relocation as a deliberate choice to raise his family away from the Hollywood spotlight. He highlighted the anonymity afforded by his neighbors, who “never treat me weird or ask me about my job,” and praised the community’s “incredible” and “cool” atmosphere. Hill also reflected on his own 1990s Los Angeles upbringing, noting that the city once offered a blend of “show business stuff” and “punk and skating and graffiti” without the internet, a mix he described as “awesome.”

Official Statements & Responses
Hill emphasized that the San Diego setting allows his family “to raise a family outside of Los Angeles” while still enabling him to commute for acting projects. He described his neighbors as “incredible people” who “never bothered me” with questions about his celebrity status. Hill also noted that his move does not impede his promotion of *Outcome*, now streaming on Apple TV+. Olivia Millar attended the podcast taping and received a public “shout-out” from Hill, who called her his “best friend” and “beautiful wife.”
Criticism & Opposition
In July 2023, Sarah Brady released a voice memo alleging that Hill subjected her to emotional abuse during their relationship. Brady said she withheld details to protect Millar and the unborn child from potential stress. Hill has not publicly addressed the accusations, and he deleted his social-media account in 2022, limiting direct responses.
Conflicting Reports & Gaps
Sources agree the family began in 2023, yet they differ on the precise order of births: one account states the couple “started their family in 2023” while another notes the second child arrived in summer 2023 after the first. Exact birth dates and the age of the first child remain unspecified.
