After making a name for herself in the music business following her X Factor win in 2006, there is no doubt Leona Lewis’ singing career sky-rocketed.
So much so that the 26-year-old from Hackney bought a luxury villa in the Hollywood Hills last year, and began dividing her time between living there and living in her native London.
But could it be that Leona has tired of the American dream?
The singer has now listed her Hollywood Hills home on the market for a cool $2.5m.

Other possible reasons behind Leona’s big move may be perhaps her blossoming relationship with German dancer Dennis Jauch.
Since beginning to date last year, the couple’s relationship has gone strength to strength.
Jauch often visit’s Leona in Los Angeles, whenever she is there working on her music.
Leona met Dennis – who was the winner of
the German version of So You Think You Can Dance – when he was a
backing dancer on her Labyrinth tour, early last year.
Cosy: The master bedroom has plush carpet for comfort and double doors that lead out to a small balcony
However they were first spotted
together in August shortly after Leona had broken up with her boyfriend
of ten years, electrician Lou Al-Chamaa.
Representatives
for the pair insisted they were just friends when they were first seen
together on a trip to Berlin Zoo in Germany, but a few weeks later they
appeared to be very loved-up while visiting Dennis’ home city of
Hamburg.
Leona’s last album was her 2009 smash Echo.
It climbed the charts to become #13 on the U.S. charts, while
hitting #1 in the UK.
