Back when Miley Stewart (Miley Cyrus) and Mikayla Skeech (Selena Gomez) were bashing each other via flip phone on “Hannah Montana,” we never would have imagined that the Disney stars would have an unintentional IRL crossover 15 years later. Since her days as Hannah’s pop-star frenemy, Gomez has found a new passion with her cooking series, “Selena + Chef,” which premiered in 2020. On Aug. 3, HBO Max released the season four trailer for Gomez’s show, and discerning fans were quick to spot a tie-in to her Disney days.
“Hey, y’all. Join me at the beach for ‘Selena + Chef’ season four,” Gomez says in the trailer, followed by clips of the “Only Murders in the Building” star trying her hand at different culinary creations with the guidance of a few acclaimed chefs. While the series is typically set in Gomez’s kitchen at her LA home, season four was filmed on the beach in the same house that was once Hannah/Miley’s home on “Hannah Montana.”
“omg how sweet it is that hannah montana gave the house to mikayla,” one fan wrote, according to Teen Vogue, while another added, “selena gomez living in the hannah montana house is my multiverse of madness.” A third fan said that they can’t wait to see Gomez cook in the “Hannah Montana” house with celebrity chefs, including Rachael Ray, Gordon Ramsay, Ludo Lefebvre, and more. “Selena is cooking with Gordon Ramsay in the Hannah Montana house, this season is already so iconic,” they wrote. Who knew one house could make so many people (us included) so nostalgic? It’s basically the Hannah Montana x Mikayla Skeech reunion we’ve been waiting for.
For viewers of “Big Little Lies,” the Cape Cod-style estate, located at 30760 Broad Beach Rd. in Malibu, might be triply familiar, as it was used as Madeline Martha Mackenzie’s (Reese Witherspoon) home in both seasons of the drama series. According to a listing on the Malibu Luxury Vacation Homes website, the 6,000-square-foot house features seven bedrooms, eight bathrooms, a jacuzzi, a 950-square-foot guest house, and, of course, a chef’s kitchen with an open view.
The kitchen, which is fully equipped for catering, also features three ovens, two dishwashers, two sinks, stainless-steel appliances, and a wine cellar. For those interested, the house is available to rent for vacations, retreats, family reunions, and more for $3,000-$5,000 per night.
We might not be booking a stay any time soon, but we can definitely still appreciate the view of this Malibu mansion from afar. Get a closer look at the famous “Hannah Montana” house featured in “Selena + Chef” season four ahead.
