Two of the most famous people to reside in the neighborhood are Prince Harry and Meghan Markle.
But the ex-Dallas Cowboys quarterback hasn’t made friends with the couple.
“I haven’t run into them,” he told Us Weekly.
“But they are there from what I can gather.
“I think anyone with a heartbeat knows that they’re out there.
“But I’m not hanging with them, that’s for sure.”
Aikman was promoting his Elite Eight Light Beer when he gave the interview.
And he joked, “I don’t think they’re drinking much light beer.”
Prince Harry moved to Montecito, California with Meghan Markle in 2020 after stepping back from his role in the Royal Family.
Aikman has been in the community a lot longer.
He posted a message on X in 2022 about a maintenance and upkeep issue in the area.
Aikman said, “I’ve had a love affair with Montecito since I first laid eyes on it in 1996.
“There’s so much to love about this laid-back coastal community but the medians along Coast Village Road aren’t one of them.
“I understand/appreciate h2o conservation but dirt? Seriously? We can do better!”
Aikman won three Super Bowls as quarterback of the Dallas Cowboys.
