TWILIGHT’s Kellan Lutz moved from California to Tennessee for his young family, but his ‘heart’ is still in Orange County.
“My wife and I, our hearts are still in California, especially Orange County,” he said. “The whole Tennessee move happened when we had our second kid.”
His wife’s parents left California during the pandemic, so they followed.
“You know, mainly when I’m working, my wife didn’t have a support system, someone to help with the kids when I’m away,” he said.
Lutz recalled one time where he was gone and one of their children was sick. His wife, Brittany, felt alone and asked to move, so they did.
“There are a lot of great things about Tennessee, especially Franklin where we live,” Lutz shared. “We got some land, got great Bible studies that we’re a part of, great churches, great community.”
He added that he’s probably been to more movie premieres in Franklin in the few years he’s lived here than in Los Angeles.

“There are things that are hard for us. Like, we aren’t seasons people. There’s tornadoes. My wife goes on red alert, especially when you have kids,” he explained.
They also miss the Mexican food and sushi in California. He hopes they move back someday.
In 2023, Brittany said God spoke to her in 2018, before they had any children, and told her clearly she should not raise her children in California.
“We actually tried to move multiple times over the last 2 years and put offers on houses in multiple states including AZ and TX but the doors were always very obviously closed. It was a little frustrating at times doing life without either of our families nearby but we were patient and knew from experience that God’s timing is best,” she said, explaining that God orchestrated their move to Tennessee.
Shortly after their move to Franklin, Lutz told Fox News that they moved only one mile away from his wife’s parents and that the area where they live is beautiful.
It’s difficult when he has to leave to act in projects.
“I go away to do movies and then my wife gets in such an amazing routine with the kids,” he explained. “And then I come home, or I come back for 24 hours because I fly back on my day off, and it kind of throws her out of whack.”
He continued, “She loves it, but it also messes up what takes a couple of days to form. And so, I think that’s the hardest thing. But it’s again, she wouldn’t change it for the world. And I want to see my kids. And she loves having me there.”
Whatever they decide about how long they’ll live in Tennessee, hopefully, the Lutzs continue to do what’s best for their family.
