The Wiggles’ Simon Pryce has splashed out a whopping $5.7 million on fresh digs in Sydney’s south-eastern suburbs.
Pryce, 53, who dons the red skivvy in the children’s group, made the move after selling up a beachside pad in Clovelly for $2.52 million in September 2024.
Situated in nearby Maroubra, 13 km from the CBD, the new two-storey ultra-modern spread boasts five bedrooms and three bathrooms.
According to the Daily Telegraph, Pryce and his wife, Lauren Hannaford, were looking to upsize after welcoming their son Asher four years ago.
Pryce bought his two-bedroom oceanview apartment in Clovelly for $860,000 in 2011 and renovated it before selling, reports the publication.
Located only minutes from South Coogee Beach, and originally built in the 1970s, Pryce’s new buy underwent a ‘transformation’ after it last went under the hammer in 2010 for $1.9 million.Â

The architect-designed renovation includes a spacious living area that opens out to a pool deck and a manicured garden, and an al fresco dining space.
Other highlights include a downstairs rumpus room and a private media room.
The kitchen offers an expansive preparation area and breakfast bar and includes a butler’s pantry and a ‘coffee station’.
The master bedroom includes a lavish en suite, while the two street-facing bedrooms share a balcony.
Pryce has been Red Wiggle since 2013 and has become a fan favourite in the touring group ever since.
He has long been open about the tougher side of being a Wiggle and the mental strain of their fun-filled, high-energy shows.
In 2022, Simon told The Daily Telegraph that their seamless live act is like a heavy work-out, and keeping fit is a way to deal with the pressures of performance.
‘Physical exercise is the main way that I take care of my mind,’ he shared.

‘Exercise has always helped me deal with any anxiety or stress that I may be feeling and gives me greater mental clarity.’
He explained how the group takes on a punishing workload of weeks-long touring, performing up to four shows a day.
In his personal life, Simon has been in a relationship with personal trainer Lauren Hannaford since 2011.
The couple tied the knot in Sydney in January 2017 and welcomed their first child together in January 2021.
They had tried for years to have a baby before welcoming their son Asher William, who is now three years old.
At the time, Simon told WHO magazine it was quite surreal for him and Lauren to suddenly have a baby in the household.
‘We’re in the kitchen making a coffee and we’ll be like, “Hang on a minute, there’s a baby in the other room!”‘ he said.
‘It’s funny though, now you actually can’t imagine your life any differently.’
