Jason Priestleyhas no regrets about leaving Los Angeles.
On Tuesday, theBeverly Hills, 90210star opened up about his move from California to Nashville, Tennessee, during an appearance onLive with Kelly and Mark.
“So you moved from L.A. to Nashville, the whole family. What’s that been like? Do you miss L.A.?” Kelly Ripa asked the actor.
“No, I don’t. I don’t miss it at all. Nashville, if any of you have ever been to Nashville, it’s an awesome city,” Priestley replied. “Really fun. You know, we love it there.”
His daughter, Ava, played a big role in his family’s decision to change their home base from the West Coast to the South. (Priestley also shares son Dashiell with wife Naomi Lowde-Priestley.)
“We started looking around at high schools for our daughter and we didn’t like any of the options for her in Los Angeles, so we started expanding our search and we ended up in Nashville, Tennessee, because we found an amazing school there for our kids,” he said.
