In 2020, Grenier left Hollywood to move to Bastrop, Texas, where he founded Kintsugi Ranch with Roemmele. Though he had been an active environmentalist for years, the actor told PEOPLE he purchased the 46-acre property to become “a greater steward every day in practice as a lifestyle, not just as an idea.”

The sequel to the beloved film The Devil Wears Prada is advancing, but one of the characters from the 2006 original movie won’t be in the follow-up. Monday, it was announced on social media that the movie begins production this week.

Adrian Grenier made a choice that few expected from a Hollywood star. He stepped back from Hollywood in favor of a quieter, more grounded life in rural Texas.
