Jonathan Van Ness was living and thriving in New York City but moseyed down to Austin, Texas because Queer Eye was filming there. However, the coronavirus pandemic halted production, so JVN decided to quarantine there at an Airbnb. He ended up falling in love with Austin, and so he decided to move from New York City. In an interview with Self, Van Ness explained, "I didn't expect to fall in love with Austin as much when we came here for shooting."

JVN added, "And then we came, and everything shut down. I had my four cats and was on this lake at an Airbnb, and I was like, Do I love Austin? Is this a liberal bastion in Texas? And it kind of is. I started exploring and was like, Oh, my God, I want to move here. Then I found a house, and I loved it."

It's clear that Van Ness is having a great time in Austin because his Instagram feed is full of gardening shots and videos of him romping in the great outdoors. New York no doubt misses this iconic stylist but Texas is lucky to have him!
