RIDGEFIELD, CT — Pro-tip: When you're sitting down in the back row at The Prospector for a matinée and a couple of supermodels spill some popcorn into your lap as they sidle their way past you, try not to stare. The supermodels, they hate it when you stare…

The scenario is not so far-fetched, now that Nara and Lucky Blue Smith have moved into Ridgefield.

The TikTok fashion world's superpower couple has just closed the deal on a $1.4 million residence in the northern part of the town, according to property records. (No, we're not going to tell you where exactly; give the kids some privacy…)

In her latest TikTok video, the South African-born German model Nara gushes about "finally" buying a house, after living in a string of rentals. She says that she and her husband have moved six times in the past five years, "and each move gets harder and harder because we have more things to take."

The 23-year-old, who has made "trad wife" a career goal for a growing posse of online followers, says owning her own home has been "one of the things I've always dreamt about."

The fashion model couple rose to TikTok stardom on the back of videos which document Nara making elaborate meals from scratch, usually while wearing the kind of couture most often seen gliding down a runway.

The two influencers most recently made headlines and turned heads in Connecticut when Nara VLOG'd an episode of her popular "What I Eat In A Day" series while house hunting in the area.

In an earlier TikTok video, Nara explained "We want a slower life, being in a more quiet area, having more space, being able to get some chickens and start gardening."

…And, so, welcome to Ridgefield, neighbor!
