Both brothers maintain private lifestyles away from the media spotlight, but their real estate acquisitions reflect their financial growth. Following the renewal of their overall deal, Matt and Ross purchased multi-million-dollar residences in Southern California, securing properties in Los Angeles neighborhoods favored by studio leaders.
Personal developments have also drawn public attention. Film director Leigh Janiak (known for directing Netflix’s Fear Street film trilogy) married Matt Duffer in 2015 after meeting on a film production years prior. Janiak filed for divorce in late 2023, initiating legal proceedings to dissolve their marital assets. Because Janiak established her own career as an accomplished genre filmmaker, the filing progressed quietly through California courts without public disputes over intellectual property shares.
