Years after wrapping up her hit series, the 44-year-old actress has traded the glitz of Los Angeles for the charm of Nashville, Tennessee. Best known for her role alongside Mandy Moore, Sterling K. Brown, Justin Hartley, and Milo Ventimiglia from 2016 to 2022, Chrissy says she’s found a sense of connection and community in Music City that truly resonates with her.
“I moved to Nashville,” the This Is Us actress told People. “I was in LA for 21 years, but my family is in Florida, where I’m from, and during the pandemic, I could drive to them from here. It’s just a better quality of life here. Everything is 15 minutes away, and it’s just so much less stress.”
“There’s a lot going on,” Metz said. “There’s obviously great music, great food. I grew up in the South, so I’m used to sort of that hospitality—it feels more communal here. In L.A. it was always like, ‘Oh, you have an audition? What’s it for? Oh, you have an audition? What for?’ It was all very dog eat dog.”
