Danica Mckellar Trades La Glitz For Tennessee Tranquility With Hubby Scott Sveslosky

From Hollywood to Heartland: Danica McKellar’s Big Move

Actress Danica McKellar, a familiar face from Hallmark flicks and Lifetime dramas, has officially swapped the red carpets of Hollywood for the rolling hills of Tennessee. Alongside her husband, attorney Scott Sveslosky, the couple decided to pack up their LA life after four decades in the City of Angels, chasing a vibe that’s more sweet tea than traffic jams on the 405. The move, they say, is all about family and finding a new sense of community far from the Tinseltown chaos.

The decision wasn’t just about a change of scenery - it’s personal. McKellar’s 15-year-old son, Draco Verta, had been bouncing between LA and Florida to spend time with his dad, McKellar’s ex-husband Mike Verta. Tennessee offers a middle ground, cutting down on those cross-country flights and giving the family a chance to root down together.

Why Tennessee? A Family-First Choice

Spilling the tea on her relocation, McKellar shared how LA just wasn’t hitting the same anymore.

“I’ve been in Los Angeles for 40 years, but it didn’t feel like home the way it used to - I wanted to be closer to Draco and build something new for us in Tennessee,”

she said. The Volunteer State won them over with its charm, and they snagged a house that felt like the perfect fit for a fresh chapter.

Beyond family logistics, the move also means more nature and less noise for McKellar and Sveslosky. They’re craving that green, open space - a far cry from the concrete jungle of SoCal. It’s a chance to breathe easier, surrounded by trees instead of paparazzi flashes on Sunset Boulevard.

Balancing Careers and Country Living

Even with the move, Sveslosky isn’t abandoning his LA law practice - he’s going full remote, proving you can take the lawyer out of Cali but not the hustle. McKellar, meanwhile, is embracing the flexibility of the entertainment biz, noting that many of her industry pals have also traded LA for places like Tennessee. It’s a sign of the times - Hollywood’s grip isn’t as tight as it used to be, and creatives are spreading out.

Oh, and let’s not forget McKellar’s brainy side - the UCLA grad (summa cum laude, no less) with a math degree has penned several student-friendly math books, inspiring kids to conquer numbers with confidence. Whether she’s solving equations or starring in holiday rom-coms, McKellar’s proving you can take the girl out of LA, but you can’t take the multi-talented hustle out of the girl.

So, while the couple settles into their new Tennessee digs, we’re betting this is just the start of a whole new storyline for McKellar - one with less Malibu drama and more down-home heart. Stay tuned, West Coast fam, for what’s next in this star’s Southern saga.
