Superstar Rachel Griffiths’ surprise return to Sydney
Rachel Griffiths and her husband Andy Taylor are coming back to Sydney.
The beloved actress, 52, and the painter, 54, are relocating from Melbourne to inner Sydney where they have purchased a stunning “designer terrace” for a little more than $2 million.
The couple came back to Australia from the United States in 2012.
The last Sydney property Griffiths and Taylor owned was a holiday home in Palm Beach, which they sold by the couple in 2014 for $2.25million.
In Melbourne, they kept a Victorian Era home which underwent numerous renovations.
Griffiths and Taylor shared the home with their three children, son Banjo, 17, and daughters Adelaide, 16, and Clementine, 12.
In a May column for Stellar Magazine, the actress explained her reasons for coming home after a decade in the U.S.
“I was hungry to come home and tell our own Australian stories with humanity and vigour,” she wrote.
“So I did, and the years since have been the most satisfying of my career.”
Since her return, Griffiths has starred in a remake of the Australian horror film Patrick and the Mel Gibson-directed Hacksaw Ridge.
She has also directed episodes of the TV series Nowhere Boys and the Michelle Payne biopic Ride Like a Girl.
The film was nominated for Best Film, Best Actress (for star Teresa Palmer) and Best Score at the 2019 AACTA Awards.
