Leona Lewis buys apartment in Hackney
Leona Lewis is buying an apartment in Hackney. The X Factor singer grew up in Hackney and was renting in the area before buying a home with her boyfriend.
23 year old Lewis told Hello! magazine that despite her success in the
US, she wants to stay in
London's
East End near her family.
Lewis explained: "We were
renting it but the landlord [told us] 'You have to get out now'. I talked him into selling it to me. When you're really settled it's hard to move."
"I really love the place - it's really private and the neighbours are cool. And it's very close to my parents."
Talking about the option of
moving to the US, Lewis added: "I don't think I'd move permanently. I love going to America, there are so many great people there, [but] I'm not sure I could permanently uproot myself from the UK, it would be too hard."
The singer is buying the
apartment in Hackney with her boyfriend Lou Al-Chamaa.
