Chris and Elsa moved their family to the northern NSW beach town in 2014 in a bid to raise their three kids away from the spotlight.
‘We did the move three years ago and I’m so happy with it,’ Elsa told News Corp last April.
‘I really wanted to be in a place where I’m out of reach to the media … and in Byron we just feel like locals.’
