'We kind of looked at each other and we were like, "Do we wanna be in Los Angeles anymore?" And the answer was a big fat no,' the 41-year-old former child star - who boasts 455K social media followers - recalled on TikTok last Saturday. 'I love that we can finally garden, and our [two cats and two dogs] are so happy, and I just love it here. I love it so much.
There's such an abundance of nature and everybody that I've met has just been so incredibly kind.' Heather went on to romantically muse about the Detroit Tigers football team, the Ann Arbor Art Fair, and the local cider mills where she discovered apple cider donuts. 'Yes please, give me 10!' Matarazzo gushed.
Princess Diaries alum Heather Matarazzo (L, pictured February 14) and her wife of five years - comedian Heather Turman (R) - made the decision to move from Los Angeles, CA to Michigan a year and a half ago, and they've never been happier The 41-year-old former child star recalled on TikTok last Saturday: 'We kind of looked at each other and we were like, "Do we wanna be in Los Angeles anymore?" And the answer was a big fat no' The Long Island native was a bit hesitant to try the 'gross' cherry salsa her 37-year-old wife - who was born in Pontiac, MI - is obsessed with, but she marveled: 'It's not supposed to taste that good! Like, y'all are magicians when it comes to your cherries!' Heather then thanked all the people in her comments calling her a 'Michigander.' 'I don't feel worthy of owning or honoring that title as of yet. Like, I know in New York there's this thing like, "You know you become a New Yorker when you almost got hit by a car.
" There's like a laundry list of things to make you an official New Yorker, so what is that for Michigan?' Matarazzo asked. 'I'm willing to do what I need to do. Maybe it's like shoveling a lot of snow.
I'm willing to do that. I did it this past winter. It was a lot of fun, and mowing the lawn is also a lot of fun.
I'm still learning how to use an edger for lawns.' The Welcome to the Dollhouse alum added: 'I feel very grateful to have landed in Michigan. Very, very grateful indeed!' Heather - who came out as a lesbian, at age 21, in a 2004 New York Daily News article - originally met Heather in 2016 on the LA set of Jillian Armenante's movie Stuck when they co-starred as Darby and Chloe.
On Monday, Matarazzo proudly modeled her Detroit Lions sweatshirt , covered in animal fur, and she promised to film 'a series of videos based on the recommendations that y'all have given me.' 'So I'm just gonna be traveling all up and down left right center especially because it'd gonna be fall and start of football season,' the Independent Spirit Award winner said. Heather added: 'I love that we can finally garden, and our [two cats and two dogs] are so happy, and I just love it here.

You kind of have to prove yourself a little bit.
