He was a household name in the 1990s. He was at the peak of his career with acting roles. While his acting chops have always been solid, it was his piercing blue eyes that had him seared into the minds of millions of people around the world. Even now, fans are enamored with how he looks. One fan wrote, “Aging like fine wine” while another added, “Still a hot man! A year older than me and looking great.”
Rob Estes’ looks
These days, his fans still appreciate how good he looks and how he opts to age naturally. One fan wrote, “You look amazing! Naturally youthful. You are living well, congrats!”
The actor has not resorted to clinical procedures to maintain his youthful looks, which makes him stand out in an industry where such procedures are not just the norm but expected. This choice has made his fans appreciate the actor even more.
The Beverly Hills 90210 actor moved from the glittery hills of Hollywood to San Clemente. The reason for it was deliberate, to give his son Makai a better life. He wanted to live away from the hustle and bustle of Los Angeles. “There’s definitely not the stressed-out L.A. vibe in San Clemente. It’s way laid-back,” his wife said of the move a few years ago.
The actor also has two older children, Mason and Maya, from a previous marriage to actress Josie Bissett, with whom he starred on Melrose Place.
While Mason lives with them in San Clemente and attends the local high school, Maya lives in Seattle with her mother but visits her father often enough.
The exes have a healthy co-parenting relationship where they prioritize their children. The reason he moved to San Clemente was because of a few reasons, which included the education quality for his kids. The area also allowed the family to have more space than they did in Los Angeles.
They now have a four-bedroom house by the beach which is a big upgrade from the Santa Monica options that come in the same price range. They describe their home as a ‘bubble’ because it has proved to be a wonderful experience for the family.
Estes today
Erin lived in the area when she first met Estes. Mutual friends set them up on a blind date, and they had their first date in San Clemente, which makes the place super meaningful for them.
Estes was at the time splitting his time between Seattle and Los Angeles. He was staying with his sister in San Clemente when he met Erin. Later Estes got a role in “The Women’s Murder Club” and was able to get a place in Santa Monica.
Even though his career was demanding, he made sure to be present for his family, especially for their nightly family dinner tradition. “Eighty to ninety percent of the time, we all have dinner together every night,” he shared about it.
They also had a very strict “no electronics at dinner” which everyone has to observe to ensure the family gets quality time when they eat together. This makes the family’s bond even better!
Erin said of it, “We’re a strong non-electronic family, and at night our routine with Makai is books, teeth, books, bed.”
Estes finds comfort in gardening and music. He plays music which is a passion for him and has been so since his youth.
Gardening is a big thing for him to do to relax. He finds solace in it when he is stressed. “Trees go away when Rob’s not happy,” his wife Erin joked. Whether it is chopping down trees or tending to his plants, he loves all the responsibility that comes to him.
The actor these days likes his privacy and appreciates the simple tasks of fatherhood and having a home of his own.
While the actor is more selective with his roles, he still works in Hollywood and has not retired from acting. Fans were thrilled to see the actor in the trailer for ‘Beautiful Wedding’ in 2023. Today the actor has grey hair and natural wrinkles, and keeps his fans updated on his Instagram.
The actor really values his family time and making sure to be there for his family in this phase of his life. We send him and his family the best of luck for everything! Share this with others who might like to know what Rob Estes is up to these days.
