Rosie Huntington-Whiteley and Jason Statham quit US and snap up plush London pad
Rosie Huntington-Whiteley and Jason Statham have reportedly waved goodbye to Los Angeles to relocate in London’s affluent Chelsea.
The power couple are said to have splashed out £7.5million on a plush listed property to raise their two-year-old son Jack in.
Plymouth-born supermodel Rosie, 33, previously said she missed home and the British humour while living in the States.
It was then reported that she and her actor fiancé Jason, 53, had sold their £14million Malibu mansion and were looking to upgrade to their dream home.
Rosie appeared to confirm they’d sealed the deal to move back to Blighty as she shared multiple snaps of her son Jack exploring a woods and coming face to face with some deer.
A source told The Sun: “Rosie and Jason have been in Los Angeles for years, and have lived that life.
“Various locations and ongoing political unrest over the past year have taken their toll.
“In the midst of a pandemic both Jason and Rosie just want to be closer to home, closer to their families and UK friends.
“After months of house-hunting, they finally found their dream pad – and couldn’t be happier.”
The couple got engaged in 2016 and are yet to seal the deal.
Speaking about their long-engagement in 2018, supermodel Rosie told Extra: “I think the time will come.
“We’ve been so focused on our work for so long, and Jack came along. We definitely talk about it. We’re looking forward to that time. It’s also not a huge priority for us; we’re so happy. I think it will be fun to do it when the baby’s grown up a bit and he can be involved in the wedding.”
The good-looking pair first met on the set of Transformers: Dark of the Moon back in 2010.
On the secret to being a rare long-term couple living in Hollywood, Rosie told Elle Australia: “We just kind of get on with things. We’re pretty normal—we’re not leaving restaurants separately. People want to live on camera 24/7 but that’s not us.”
Before finding love with Rosie, Jason dated another British model – Kelly Brook – who he was with for seven years before they split in 2004.
