Yahoo Lifestyle Nick and Vanessa Lachey Swap Hawaii Home for an All-New SoCal Showpiece
Nick and Vanessa Lachey are officially relocating from Hawaii to California, trading in a snazzy Honolulu mansion for an equally ritzy place in Los Angeles. After only two years of ownership, the reality TV show hosts have listed their resort-style residence near Oahu’s Kahala Beach for $9.8 million and doled out $6.8 million for all-new modern farmhouse-style digs tucked away in a prime pocket of Encino.
The married actors bought their Hawaiian home for $8.8 million soon after Vanessa was cast in the CBS show NCIS: Hawaiʻi in 2021. “We thought we were going to do a Hawaii to L.A. ‘travel-on-the-weekend’ thing,’ ” Vanessa told Travel + Leisure in a 2022 article. “We sold our house and now we’ve got Hawaii license plates.” Their decision to sell up after such a short time no doubt has to do with the police procedural getting canceled in April after three seasons.

A towering wood door pivots open into the foyer, which flows to a fireside living room, an en-suite guest bedroom, and another bedroom that’s been converted into an office. Beyond a wood-railed floating staircase, an expansive great room holds a formal dining area and a family room spotlighted by a linear marble fireplace and pocketing glass doors spilling out to a covered terrace flanked by a barbecue station. An adjacent gourmet kitchen is outfitted with stone countertops, a large eat-in island, top-notch Thermador appliances, and a butler’s pantry just around the corner.
Elsewhere, the lower level comes complete with a vaulted safe room, a movie theater, a gym, a recreation room, and a seated bar with a glass-encased wine wall, while the upstairs primary suite flaunts a fireplace, dual designer showroom closets, and a luxe marble bath equipped with two vanities, a makeup counter, a soaking tub, and a steam shower. The amenities continue outdoors, where the turf-clad backyard hosts a pool with a Baja shelf and a spa and a fire pit conversation area nestled alongside a cabana.

Nick, 50, and Vanessa, 43, met back in the early 2000s when he was a member of the boy band 98 Degrees and she was a veejay for MTV’s Total Request Live. They went on to wed in the summer of 2011 and have since welcomed three children. The pair currently co-hosts Netflix’s reality dating shows Love Is Blind and The Ultimatum, with Nick also handling solo hosting duties for Perfect Match. Before moving to Hawaii, the couple sold an L.A.-area home to tennis pro Naomi Osaka for $6.3 million.
The Encino listing was held by Danielle Peretz and Oran Peretz of The Beverly Hills Estates; Craig Knizek of The Agency repped the buyers.
