Whether it’s his own reality or that of his famous “Entourage” character, Vincent Chase, Hollywood star Adrian Grenier has spent more than enough time in the spotlight.
Grenier, 47, left California for Texas a few years ago and hasn’t looked back since.
“I was flying high for years. 20 years in Hollywood, growing up in New York,” he said on Today with Hoda & Jenna, adding, “Now I’m living a more grounded lifestyle. I’m sending it,” he added.
He and his wife, Jordan Roenmele, moved to their home outside of Austin, Texas, in 2020 after deciding their priorities in life had changed.

In the city, I always felt a little bit like I had to keep up with the Joneses. And here, I feel like there’s a lot of acceptance. Especially in the area where I live, a lot of my friends are farmers and home growers, they’re very friendly, they’re not afraid to work hard all day long, they’re salt of the earth, they’re very loving people.”
