Some of Hollywood’s biggest names never left home — and they’re not shy about it.

Financial success usually means moving out, buying a mansion, and putting some distance between yourself and mom and dad’s house rules. Not for a growing list of A-listers, who’ve instead used their paychecks to keep the family under one roof. A recent Nicki Swift breakdown rounds up five stars — Michael B. Jordan, Maria Menounos, Sophie Monk, Hailee Steinfeld, and Chrissy Teigen — who still share a home with their parents despite having the money to live anywhere they want.

• Michael B. Jordan bought a Sherman Oaks, California home for his parents, Donna and Michael A. Jordan, and lives there with them.
• Maria Menounos shares a Los Angeles residence with her husband, Keven Undergaro, and her parents, Costas and Litsa Menounos.
• Chrissy Teigen’s mother, Vilailuck “Pepper” Teigen, lives with her and husband John Legend and has become a fixture in their kitchen and daily routine.

Michael B. Jordan’s House Rules

Jordan’s résumé speaks for itself — “Fruitvale Station,” “Creed,” and “Black Panther” turned him into one of the most in-demand leading men in the business. None of that stopped him from putting his parents in a Sherman Oaks house that he bought and then moving in himself. He’s talked openly about the domestic reality of it: running into Donna and Michael A. Jordan in the hallway late at night, sticking to the household’s actual rules, and getting home-cooked meals in exchange for putting up with the occasional parental check-in.

It’s a dynamic plenty of fans found relatable despite Jordan’s box-office numbers — a reminder that even a “Black Panther” star still has to answer to a curfew conversation now and then. That kind of candor is part of why segments breaking down unexpected celebrity backstories tend to resonate — the details are small and human, not the usual red-carpet script.

Maria Menounos and Sophie Monk Keep It Close to Home

Menounos has built her entire public persona around family loyalty, and her living situation backs it up. She, her husband Keven Undergaro, and her parents, Costas and Litsa Menounos, share a Los Angeles home — an arrangement she’s credited with keeping her grounded through the family’s health struggles over the years.

Sophie Monk, the Australian singer-actress who became a household name Down Under as the star of “Bachelorette Australia,” takes the same approach on the Gold Coast. Monk has been candid that living with her parents isn’t about finances — it’s about the comfort and normalcy of coming home to family instead of an empty house between projects.

Running into your parents in the hallway at midnight hits different when you’re the one who bought the house.

Hailee Steinfeld’s Anchor Amid the Chaos

Steinfeld earned an Oscar nomination as a teenager for “True Grit” and has since built a parallel career as a pop artist, a combination that comes with a relentless travel schedule. Staying in Southern California with her family, rather than setting up on her own, has been her way of keeping some stability while bouncing between recording sessions, film sets, and tour stops.

Chrissy Teigen’s Mom Runs the Kitchen

Teigen and John Legend didn’t just make room for Teigen’s mother, Vilailuck “Pepper” Teigen — they built their household around her. Pepper cooks, helps with the couple’s day-to-day family life, and has become something of a public figure herself thanks to Teigen’s social media, where she’s shown up constantly cooking alongside her daughter.

Across all five stories, the throughline is the same: none of these arrangements are about money problems. They’re about people with the means to live anywhere choosing to keep their parents close instead.
