Chris and Elsa recently finished construction of their sprawling $20 million mansion in Broken Head and have now officially moved in.
In June, Chris spoke about his decision to move to Byron Bay with his family in 2014, after they had spent several years living in LA.
The father-of-three told OK! magazine the seachange had been a ‘good decision’ overall for his family.
He added: ‘Living in Australia allows me to be away from a world where you can lose touch with reality sometimes.’
