3. Veronika Informed Sean That People Knew Where They Lived in Los Angeles Thanks to Social Media
McVay is not big on social media, so he was surprised to learn that fans all over the country knew about their 2017 L.A. home purchase.
“It’s all over TMZ yesterday,” McVay explained to ESPN. “I closed on a place earlier this week. My girlfriend — she’s on social media, I’m not — she says, ‘You know, it’s everywhere, where we’re living and all that stuff.'”
According to Trulia, McVay purchased a home in Encino, California for $2.71 million. Trulia provided an overview of McVay’s Southern California house.
After accepting the position as head coach for the newly relocated L.A. team, Sean McVay got the first down with the purchase of a six bedroom, six bathroom Californian modern home in the hills of Encino, CA. The 4,660 square-foot home, originally built in 1966, features an open concept floor plan with clean lines, cerused oak floors and custom nesting doors to showcase the expansive views of the city lights at night. The kitchen has been completely renovated with gourmet appliances throughout, an 8-foot-by-4-foot marble island and custom cabinetry.
A stylized floating staircase leads to the upstairs where the luxe Californian aesthetic continues. The spacious master suite boasts large windows with panoramic views of the city and is joined by a large sitting area, dual walk-in closets and a dramatic soaking tub and large shower. Down the hall is a large bonus room complete with a balcony—ideal for an in-home theatre to watch film of the team.
4. Veronika Maintains an Instagram Account for Their Dog, Kali

There are photos of naps, belly rubs and hikes with Khomyn. As for Khomyn’s personal account, she switched her Instagram page from private to public and now has close to 29,000 followers.
5. Veronika Helped Clean Out Their Old Virginia Townhouse So Sean Could Start Coaching the Rams
Coaching changes require a lot of things to happen behind-the-scenes including the new coach moving cities. McVay was hired by the Rams on January 12, 2017. He was initially planning on going back to their Reston, Virginia home but things did not go as scheduled. Khomyn ended up cleaning out their old Virginia townhouse to allow McVay to hit the ground running in his new head coaching role per Sports Illustrated.
After McVay, the former offensive coordinator in Washington, got the Rams job on Jan. 12, he planned on returning to his Reston, Va., townhouse to gather his things. But there was too much to do in California. So Veronica and a few friends took care of clearing the townhouse, and it sold in a day. McVay never made it back.
