It seems like “The Voice,” coach Adam Levine and supermodel wife, Behati Prinsloo, are officially putting down roots in a way that feels equal parts intentional and very on-brand for where they are right now. The couple has quietly (well, as quietly as you can when Oprah is involved) made a major real estate move, shelling out $17 million for a Montecito home with a seriously iconic past. And let’s be real; when you’re selling one house for even more, this kind of purchase feels less like a splurge and more like a strategic reset. Yep, you read that right. Sometimes the biggest flex is convenience.
Inside the Oprah-Owned Montecito Home
So what exactly did Levine and Prinsloo buy? A house with some major star power attached. According to Realtor.com, the property was “a Spanish-style dwelling that once made up part of her iconic Montecito estate,” referring to Oprah Winfrey, 71. The outlet also notes that Winfrey was selling the home “six years after she bought the home from Hollywood legend Jeff Bridges.”
That timeline alone is doing a lot of work here. Jeff Bridges to Oprah Winfrey to Adam Levine and Behati Prinsloo? That’s not just real estate… that’s Hollywood legacy with terracotta tiles. Spanish-style homes in Montecito are known for their warmth, privacy, and timeless design, and this one comes with a pedigree that’s hard to top.
While the couple hasn’t shared details about how they’ll be decorating the interior (and honestly, they don’t have to), the appeal is pretty obvious. Montecito has long been a favorite among celebrities who want space, beauty, and a quieter pace without fully disappearing. Add in Oprah’s former stamp of approval, and it’s easy to see why this place stood out.
Why This Makes Total Sense for Their Family
The purchase also lines up perfectly with what we already know about why the couple decided to move in the first place. Back in October 2025, news broke that Levine, 46, and Prinsloo, 37, had sold their previous Montecito home for a jaw-dropping $60 million. According to TMZ, they “ditched the property to relocate to a home closer to their kids’ school.”
Let’s be real; that detail says everything. Levine and Prinsloo share two daughters (Dusty Rose, 9, and Gio Grace, 7) as well as a two-year-old son whose name has not yet been released. It seems like this move is less about upgrading and more about recalibrating. Less sprawling estate energy, more everyday-life functionality.
Sure, $17 million is still very much luxury territory, but the motivation feels grounded. Living closer to school, cutting down on travel time, and choosing a home that fits their current stage of life all point to a decision rooted in family-first thinking. It’s practical, thoughtful, and still undeniably chic.
At the end of the day, this purchase feels like a win across the board. A beautiful home with a legendary past, a location that supports their kids’ routines, and a fresh start that doesn’t sacrifice comfort or privacy. Adam Levine and Behati Prinsloo aren’t just buying a house… they’re choosing a lifestyle that fits who they are right now. And we couldn’t be happier for them.
