Overview

  • Ty Burrell left Los Angeles with his wife Holly and their teenage daughters in 2020 and now says he has no regrets about raising his family in Salt Lake City.
  • He credits voiceover work—especially the scripted podcast series The Good Life—with freeing up his schedule for family and outdoor pursuits; the role also provides creative fulfillment.
  • Initially feeling the move was almost like an outdoorsy “cosplay,” Burrell says he and his family now truly enjoy hiking Utah’s trails and exploring its natural beauty.
  • Ariel Winter departed Hollywood after enduring years of body-shaming and a CPS custody intervention, seeking privacy and personal healing away from the spotlight.
  • Eric Stonestreet returned to his Kansas City roots, citing the authenticity of everyday life as a welcome contrast to the pressures of the entertainment industry.
