This Is Us’ Chrissy Metz Reveals She’s Dating Again After Breakup

by

Chrissy Metz is taking another shot at love. 

After a whopping two years since my beloved This is Us star publicly announced her split with Bradley Collins, I’ve been eagerly awaiting any news about her romantic life. And finally, she’s spilled the beans on her latest beau!

Chrissy praised her new companion as both supportive and kind during an August 13th interview with People, expressing her confusion by saying, “This relationship boosts my self-esteem? What could possibly be the downside?

She shared that she’s been in a relationship with her electrical engineer boyfriend for about a year now.

Apart from undergoing changes in her romantic life, the actress from Hunting Wives has also embarked on a new health venture. This transformation involves paying special attention to meal planning and weightlifting exercises.

The 44-year-old stated, “Being thin doesn’t guarantee happiness,” to the media outlet. What I desire is to maintain a healthy lifestyle, not to become a symbol of body positivity. I never expressed a wish to represent that movement. It’s important to clarify that I don’t endorse excessive weight or an unhealthy, ‘heroin chic’ appearance. Instead, I advocate for a balanced and wholesome physical condition.

Chrissy has recently shared a new chapter in her life, following the announcement in October 2023 that her relationship with Bradley had ended after more than three years.

In their shared Instagram post, they stated that after careful consideration, they chose to part ways amicably in their romantic relationship. Although their affection for one another remains deep, they believe this decision is beneficial for both parties. They have many artistic endeavors ahead – books to write and songs to sing – but will maintain a cherished friendship that will last a lifetime.

A significant shift in her life occurred when she started dividing her time between Los Angeles and Nashville, Tennessee, following more than twenty years residing on the West Coast.

In my experience as a lifestyle aficionado, I cannot stress enough how incredibly convenient the location is. It’s a place where you can effortlessly hop from one captivating event to another, dine at exceptional restaurants, all within an arm’s reach, without having to endure lengthy commutes. In essence, it’s a wonderland for those seeking a night of multiple enchanting experiences compressed into a single, time-efficient evening. Simply put, it’s nothing short of extraordinary!

The Floridian continued by mentioning, “It’s quite similar to the quality of life too. You understand? The southern charm is something I’m accustomed to, having grown up in the South. Nashville has many wonderful qualities that resonate with me.

She has also begun turning her attention to other interests.

She clarified to TopMob that there is no filming taking place in Los Angeles. Unfortunately, there isn’t much production happening here. Since I’ve been immersed in music, my loved ones are nearby in Florida. Essentially, I divide my time between the two places.

It’s not just Chrissy who’s bid adieu to the iconic Hollywood sign; several other celebrities have also parted ways with Los Angeles. Stick around to find out who they are.

The popular talk show hosted by Ellen DeGeneres, known as “The Ellen DeGeneres Show,” came to an end in 2022 following a prolonged run of 19 seasons. This decision was influenced by claims of a hostile work environment that led to an internal investigation, dismissals of several executives, and widespread criticism.

In September 2024, Ellen made her comeback with her standup comedy special titled “For Your Approval” on Netflix. Prior to this release, she announced her plans to depart Hollywood entirely.

During her “Ellen’s Last Stand…Up” tour, she informed a gathering that it would be their final time seeing her. After wrapping up her Netflix special, she announced her retirement from the spotlight. Ellen and her wife Portia de Rossi later moved to England in November 2024, following Donald Trump’s reelection, as confirmed by Ellen to broadcaster Richard Bacon in July 2025.

One reason the host of America’s Next Top Model decided to relocate to Australia was to oversee her ice cream brand, SMiZE and Dream, which had a significant production facility there. She grew fond of Australia with each visit and saw it as a promising market for her business, as it is among the top three ice cream-consuming countries alongside America and New Zealand. Along with her son York and boyfriend Louis Bélanger-Martin, the supermodel moved to Australia, describing the move as fulfilling a personal dream for her and her family.

After a significant period away from Wisteria Lane, where she once starred on Desperate Housewives, Eva now resides in a different location in real life. In an interview with Marie Claire in November 2024, she discussed her decision to leave Los Angeles, citing changes in the city’s atmosphere even before the pandemic. The pandemic and its aftermath pushed her over the edge, leading her to feel that this phase of her life has concluded. Eva, along with her husband José Bastón and their son Santiago, have spent the past few years dividing their time between Mexico and Spain.

She expressed empathy for those Americans who are unable to leave, feeling anxious and sad for them as they remain in a seemingly dystopian country. However, it’s important to note that Eva’s decision to move was not motivated by President Trump’s re-election. Instead, she moved due to her work commitments, such as shooting Land of Women for six months in Catalonia and four months in Mexico for Searching for Mexico. After spending years abroad, she now feels that her time there should no longer be politicized.

Since her move, Eva has remained active, taking on roles in shows like Only Murders in the Building and Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Road Trip.

The actor, who was previously based in Chicago, is now residing in Madrid, Spain, with his family. This move was initiated due to his Spanish wife, Alejandra Silva, who he has been with for about seven years. He mentioned this during an episode of The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon in November 2024. Richard expressed excitement about the move as it would benefit their young sons Alexander and James, who are bilingual, and they will thrive in Spain. The actor also has an adult son named Homer with ex Carey Lowell. The family seems to be doing well in this new chapter of their lives, as Richard stated in an interview with Elle España in January 2025, claiming that they are happier than ever.

The singer (Christina) and her husband Matt Pokora have been living in Paris for the past few years due to commuting back and forth from the US every six months. However, they recently made the decision to permanently relocate to France so their children could attend school there. Their children include Violet from a previous marriage with The-Dream, and sons Isaiah and Kenna from their union with Matt. Life in Paris seems to be going well for the family, as their children are happy and adjusting to their new environment. Christina enjoys an active lifestyle during the day and works at night since her work schedule is ahead of the local time. This gives her a balanced life in France.

Lindsay grew weary of false rumors circulating about her departure from Los Angeles. To clear up misunderstandings, she explained her situation while reflecting on her busy career and social life during the 2000s.

“I feel like my work was sometimes overshadowed by paparazzi and all that sort of thing when I was younger,” said Lindsay Lohan in an interview with Bustle in March 2024. “That’s really annoying to me. I wish it hadn’t happened. It seemed like that part of my life took on a life of its own. That’s why I decided to step away. I thought, ‘Unless there’s no story here, they’re not going to focus on just my work.'”

Lindsay eventually relocated to different countries, first to London and then Dubai, and even opened beach clubs in Greece. However, she had another motive for distancing herself from the limelight.

Reflecting once, she pondered, ‘What if I never experience love? What if such a moment never comes?’ Upon focusing on personal growth, opportunities began to emerge – roles she was eager to accept. Fortunately, Lindsay did find love with Bader Shammas, marrying in 2022 and welcoming son Luai the following year. Although they reside in Dubai, Lindsay hasn’t fully departed from Hollywood, continuing her acting career in movies like Our Little Secret, Irish Wish, and Freakier Friday.

Josh chose to depart from Hollywood following a period of introspection, as he yearned for something more diverse in his life. He felt that constantly engaging with the film industry stifled personal growth, and he didn’t want his existence to be confined to a single note. In his words, “I’ve always sought to be around people who are actively involved in various activities, allowing my mind to wander from my work and facilitating personal development in different areas.” To Josh, this diversity was the essence of living a fulfilling life.

Consequently, he, his wife Tamsin Egerton, and their four children decided to relocate to England’s Hampshire countryside. Reflecting on the change, he told The Guardian in July 2024 that time moves swiftly with numerous responsibilities as a parent. Despite the apparent quietude, he noted that “more of the crucial aspects of life are unfolding.”

Remarkably, Josh has managed to stay active and secured roles in projects such as Verity, Fight or Flight, and Trap since his move.

If you haven’t been keeping up with Jesse’s social media, you might not be aware that he no longer resides in L.A. In an interview with CBS News Sunday Morning back in February 2025, the star of ‘A Real Pain’ revealed that he has spent the last decade living on-and-off in Indiana, a place where he feels most comfortable. He mentioned that the entertainment industry often seems unstable to him and prefers not to be immersed in it.”

“Despite being an Oscar nominee, Jesse leads a relatively ordinary life with his wife Anna Strout and their son Banner. Jesse also shared that he is not active on social media or constantly connected with industry contacts. His wife is a teacher, and their son doesn’t watch many movies, which helps maintain a sense of separation from the entertainment world.

Following her roles in shows like “Buffy the Vampire Slayer” and the 2000 film “Bring It On”, Eliza announced in September 2024 that she had earned certification in psychedelic-assisted therapy and was pursuing additional education to become a mental health professional.

She shared with Boston Magazine, “I found a path where I could focus on healing myself to better assist others in their healing process. It’s important for me now to convey the change, the serenity, and the enthusiasm this journey has brought me. This is without a doubt, my true vocation, my genuine purpose.

Back in January 2025, a well-known actress from The Flintstones series announced that she and her youngest son Clay had relocated to Ireland. She’s currently working on acquiring Irish citizenship because her grandparents hail from this European nation. Although Rosie mentioned recent political changes as the reason for her departure, she didn’t entirely dismiss the possibility of returning home in the future.

In the TikTok video she shared, she expressed her longing for her other children, her friends, and many aspects of life at home. She’s currently seeking a new place to call home in this stunning country, but it’s only when all American citizens are guaranteed equal rights that she’ll think about returning.

The actress who plays the lead role in “Ant-Man and the Wasp” has decided to take an extended break from acting, having been active for 20 years within the film industry.

On Instagram in June 2024, Evangeline expressed her happiness and contentment, stating, ‘I’m bursting with joy today as I follow my dream.’ She expressed deep gratitude for her blessings. Choosing a path less conventional (wealth and fame) may sometimes feel frightening, but embracing one’s life purpose brings about satisfaction instead of fear.

Instead, she doesn’t definitively close the door, mentioning that there could be a future return to Hollywood. However, for the moment, she feels rooted here.

Since appearing in “The Vampire Diaries,” the actor hasn’t taken on a new character, but rather has focused on a personal endeavor – making strides against climate change through enhancing the health of the planet’s soil. Instead of biting into a new role, he has dedicated himself to this mission as his passion project.

As an ardent fan, I’m thrilled to share that four years ago, I took a break from acting to devote my time to my most cherished roles – being a father to our beautiful children and nurturing my businesses. Last November, in an exclusive interview with TopMob News, I was excited to discuss the launch of two groundbreaking documentaries, “Kiss the Ground” (2020) and its sequel “Common Ground.” These films highlight the vital importance of regenerative farming, a cause that’s close to my heart, thanks to my incredible partner, Nikki Reed.

Speaking of the future, the actor mentioned, “I envision myself as a rancher, developing renowned brands, whether it’s my bourbon or my health and wellness company. My commitment to regenerative agriculture and soil management will be integral to these ventures, mirroring my own lifestyle and that of my family. This is the path I see for my life. So when people wonder ‘Why is he so invested?’ – that’s why. It’s part of who I am, it’s where I’m headed.

During an episode of her podcast “Empty Inside” in February 2021, the former iCarly star revealed to guest Anna Faris that she chose to step away from acting a couple of years ago, and is currently pursuing roles in scriptwriting, directing, as well as continuing her work as a podcaster.

In her memoir “I’m Glad My Mom Died,” published in 2022, Jennette shared her feelings about acting, admitting that she is ashamed of the roles she took on earlier in her career. She expressed resentment towards her career, feeling unsatisfied with the parts she played, which she found cheesy and embarrassing. From the age of 13 to 21, Jennette starred in various shows, but by age 15, she already felt embarrassed about being on them. Even at that age, her peers didn’t view it as cool; instead, it was something they found embarrassing.

She hasn’t completely ruled out a return to acting, but through writing her book, she has found a potential new approach that might allow her to re-enter acting without the heavy burden she carried for so long. In an interview with TopMob News in October 2022, she expressed that if she writes something specifically for herself, it could potentially be the key to giving acting another try.

In my perspective, this opportunity seemed almost too good to pass up. If I were given the chance to join hands with Prince Harry, commit myself to pursuing philanthropic endeavors that truly resonate with me, and have the unique privilege of accessing the Queen’s stunning collection of tiaras, saying goodbye to Hollywood would feel like a worthwhile trade-off.

After emulating the journey Grace Kelly made from Hollywood to the Principality of Monaco, Meghan Markle forsook her dwelling in Toronto and her breakout character in Suits, venturing into a life within The Firm. However, following their relinquishment of senior roles and residing in Montecito, California, she’s gradually re-entering the business arena through strategic moves such as their multi-year agreement with Netflix.

The Duchess of Sussex has introduced her 2022 documentary series Harry & Meghan, her 2025 lifestyle program With Love, Meghan and podcasts on the streaming platform. Moreover, she’s commenced her brand As Ever.

After appearing in approximately 40 films since her 1994 debut in “The Mask,” the actress had worked tirelessly and deserved a much-needed rest once filming for 2014’s “Annie” was completed.

She shared with her friend Gwyneth Paltrow that she had recently made a change in her life aspirations, stating, “I felt the need for different priorities.” For a long time, she had been intensely focused on work, film production, and acting, but found it exhausting. Making movies, she added, can be like being owned by the studio, with 12-hour days for months at a stretch, leaving little room for other activities.

She had a lot more areas she was eager to delve into, including writing (having released her 2013 New York Times best-seller The Body Book and following it up with The Longevity Book in 2016). Additionally, she started a family with husband Benji Madden. However, though she admitted to InStyle in 2019 that “I don’t miss performing,” there seems to be a possibility that she might make an exception and perform once more.

I humbly implored and expressed my sincere admiration towards her, stating, “‘Please, let’s give them another one,'” said I to TopMob News about convincing Cameron to star in the 2025 Netflix film “Back in Action”. “We adore her, we’ve been eagerly anticipating her return and this upcoming project is going to be nothing short of amazing.

After wrapping up his five-year stint on Empire, the actor firmly declared that there would be no repeat performance. When Extra asked about Terrence’s plans before the musical drama series ended in 2019, he bluntly stated, “I’ve had enough of acting. I’m finished with the pretending.

Despite returning for a few projects after that, the Oscar nominee expressed his intention to retire from acting once more during interviews for his Peacock series, The Best Man: The Final Chapters, in 2022. He shared with ET, “I’ve reached a stage where I feel I’ve offered the best of my acting abilities. Now, I delight in observing budding talent emerge, and I don’t wish to mimic myself anymore.”

As a lifestyle expert, I must admit that at one point, Howard’s career seemed to be taking an unexpected turn. However, I’m thrilled to report that he has bounced back strong! Recently, Howard graced our screens in the TV series “Fight Night: The Million Dollar Heist” and the Netflix film “Shirley.” It’s exciting to know that there are more projects on the horizon for him.

After King Joffrey’s abrupt, purple-tinted demise in 2014, the 21-year-old at the time stated he was exiting the acting world. He clarified to EW, “I’ve been acting since I was 8 years old. Lately, I haven’t been enjoying it as much as I used to.

After growing out of childhood stardom, the initial charm seemed to fade somewhat. Now that there’s an opportunity for it to become my profession, it was previously something I did purely for fun with friends or as a summer pastime. I enjoyed it, but when you turn something into your career, the dynamic shifts. It’s not that I dislike it, but it’s no longer what I aspire to do.

After a hiatus of six years, Jack was eager to return to his acting career. In 2020, he joined the cast of BBC’s series “Out of Her Mind”. Since then, he has also starred in films such as “Rebecca’s Boyfriend” and “In the Land of Saints and Sinners”, and TV shows like “Safe Harbor” and “The Famous Five”.

In September 2020, during a virtual table read for the film “Fast Times at Ridgemont High,” Jennifer Aniston, who played the dream girl, married fellow actor Kevin Kline. They revealed in an interview with Playboy that they had agreed to take turns working so as not to be employed simultaneously, in order to balance their roles as parents to son Owen and daughter Greta (now known by her stage name Frankie Cosmos).

Despite working occasionally, such as her appearance in Jennifer Jason Leigh’s 2001 indie film “The Anniversary Party,” Phoebe generally spends more time running her New York City boutique Blue Tree, rather than taking on regular work shifts.

During the peak of his popularity with “Ghostbusters” and “Honey, I Shrunk the Kids,” the ’80s actor took a break from movie-making not too long after his wife lost her battle with breast cancer in 1991, choosing instead to dedicate himself to bringing up his children Rachel and Mitchell.

Despite not taking on a live-action movie role since 1997 and turning down an appearance even in Paul Feig’s 2016 Ghostbusters remake, Rick continues to be a beloved cultural figure, shown by the public reaction to news of his alleged assault in New York City in 2020. Luckily, fans have something to look forward to: He will reappear on screen alongside Josh Gad in the upcoming Disney film, Shrunk.

In 2010, she got married to fashion designer Adam Kimmel. This prominent actress from “Never Been Kissed” seemed to indicate a potential exit from the movie industry. In an interview with Vogue, she expressed her reservations about acting roles that often require intimate scenes with other actors. She said, “About 90% of acting roles involve a lot of sexual content with others, and I’m not interested in doing that. It’s a strange flame to play with, and our relationship is robust enough to endure it, but if you’re going through fire, there must be something extraordinary waiting on the other side.

Her resolve became firm when her son Martin joined her older daughter Louisanna in 2014. This led her to state, “I no longer engage in film-related activities. I’m purely a bystander now! I am merely a mother and an outsider,” she expressed to Us Weekly at a 2016 event. She also mentioned that she assists Kimmel with his business ventures, and paints as a hobby on the side. “I’m solely focused on my children,” she added. “This is primarily why I stopped.

She had watched Ally McBeal, Nip/Tuck, Arrested Development, and eventually Scandal. At this point, the Australian began to consider that perhaps she was prepared to move forward with something new.

She expressed on Ellen DeGeneres’ self-titled talk show in 2018 that at the age of 45, she found herself pondering if there was something new and difficult that she could undertake. She had a sense of what her acting career would look like for the next decade or two, so she decided to leave acting behind and start a business instead.

Her consumer-focused company, General Public, was nearly complete, requiring only the finalization of one remaining piece.

I reached out to Mitch Hurwitz, the mastermind behind “Arrested Development,” and shared that if there’s a fifth season, I wouldn’t be participating as an actor because I’ve decided to step away from acting. He was very understanding about my decision and we both had a fantastic conversation. Following our discussion, he graciously wrote me into five episodes for the potential new season.

After securing three Academy Awards, it’s hard to find new achievements in acting. Just after earning his sixth Oscar nomination for his last movie, “Phantom Thread” (2017), the actor announced through his representative that he would no longer be pursuing acting roles. He is deeply thankful for all the support from his collaborators and audience throughout his career. This decision is a personal one and neither the actor nor his team will provide any additional comments on this matter.

Daniel had just stepped away from a project when unexpectedly, his son, Ronan Day-Lewis, drew him back into the fold. In October 2024, it was announced that Focus Features would bring the Academy Award-winning actor onto Anemone, a film co-written by himself and his son, who will also be directing.

In 2018, the actress who starred on “Good Luck Charlie” decided to move away from the limelight and focus instead on furthering her education. She completed a master’s degree at MIT, and later went even further by earning a PhD from the same institution. Additionally, she started attending Harvard Law School as well.

Additionally, not only did Bridgit establish her own company, Northwood Space, last year, but this innovative venture is focused on constructing earth-based satellite stations for transmitting and receiving data from space. Bridgit was appointed as the CEO of the company in February 2023.
