10 pairs of celebrity neighbors

On a May 2021 episode of Dax Shepard's podcast, "Armchair Expert," Prince Harry told Shepard he and Bloom alert each other when there are photographers in the area.

"Just two days ago Orlando Bloom sent me a message because he's down the road and we sort of keep in contact because of the paparazzi," he said. "He sent me a photograph, which his security got, of this long-haired guy with a beanie on, with his AirPods in, with his massive camera lying in the back of his 4x4 truck, blacked-out windows, a woman driving ... and he's laid down in the back of this truck taking photographs of them out with their kid, and whoever else is in that area. How is that normal? How is that acceptable?"

Lowe has lived in Montecito for 26 years. During an appearance on E! News' talk show "Daily Pop" in May 2021, the "Parks and Rec" actor said that while Markle and Harry "keep a low profile," the neighborhood has become more popular.

"When Oprah moved in, that began the sort of resurgence of Montecito," he said. "And now that the royals are there [...] the good news is property values go up, the bad news is the lines are longer at Starbucks."

Winfrey bought a 42-acre, $50 million property in 2001 and a neighboring horse ranch for $29 million in 2015. The entire compound serves as her home base known as "Promised Land."

She confirmed she was neighbors with the royals in December 2020, sharing that Markle sent her a gift basket for Christmas on Instagram: "On the first day of Christmas my neighbor 'M' sent to me... A basket of deliciousness! (Yes that M)," Winfrey wrote.

A number of other celebrities live in Montecito, too.

Hurley and Grant dated for 13 years back in the '90s, and they've remained on good terms. They're so close, in fact, that they live right near each other in London.

"We're best friends. He lives next door to me and he's godfather to my son and I'm godmother to one of his children," Hurley said on an episode of "The Jonathan Ross Show" in 2015.

In December 2014, Streep shared on "Live with Micheal and Kelly" how Paltrow saved her almost-disastrous Thanksgiving.

"I had a Thanksgiving disaster because my oven didn't work. I hate my oven. I hate it," she said. Luckily, she had a friend in Paltrow, who lived nearby, but was conveniently not home for the holiday — and offered her kitchen to Streep.

"She has the best oven I have ever seen in my life," Streep said.

Affleck and Damon famously have been friends for 40 years, having grown up together in Boston. But they took it to a whole new level in 2012 when Damon moved into Los Angeles' Pacific Palisades neighborhood, which is coincidentally where Affleck and then-wife Jennifer Garner lived.

"We're closer than we were in Central Square [in Cambridge, Massachusetts]. We've got the kids back and forth in the yards. The weird thing is, when we imagined hanging out with our kids together, it would be like playing football and baseball. But it's all these girls playing princess," Damon told the Boston Herald in September 2012.

While Affleck doesn't live in that specific house anymore, he still lives nearby to co-parent with Garner.

During the pandemic, all of the late-night hosts moved from their studios to their homes, forcing them to conduct interviews via Zoom — well, besides Kimmel and Johnson, who had a nice in-person chat over their shared fence in May 2020.

The host even asked Johnson who her favorite neighbor has been. She responded, "You're the best one." Kimmel, on his part, called her a "hell of a next-door neighbor."

During an appearance on "Watch What Happens Live" in 2017, Field dished on what it was like to live next-door to the Bravo guru.

She shared that his "most annoying habit" is that he's constantly re-doing his West Village apartment. Field added that she has seen him "taking the garbage out," but "we're always glad to see each other in our pajamas and slippers and things."

"Many times I hear you on the phone yakkety, yakkety, yakkety," Field said. "I kind of lean in, 'Is this a good conversation or a bad one?'"

DiCaprio and Moby were pictured hanging out together a few times in the months leading up to his purchase of Moby's $4.9 million home in Los Feliz. Clearly, Moby liked the neighborhood, as he purchased the home right next door, making the two neighbors.

Smith purchased the home in 2015.

"[Smith's] bought the house next door to me in Hampstead. I saw [them] there the other day," George told The Sun at the time.

He also called the "Stay With Me" singer "lovely."
