Lovesick Leona Lewis leaving US for beau

London (ANI): Singer Leona Lewis is reportedly leaving America to return to London for her boyfriend Lou Al-Chamaa. The 24-year-old singer, who shot to fame after winning UK TV talent contest 'The X Factor", has been making her second album in the States and planned to make her move there permanent.

However, the long-distance relationship is taking toll on her boyfriend, according to sources. "Leona knows Lou was reaching breaking point. If she wanted to stay with him she was going to have to move back. He's got a good job in music and wasn't prepared to move to America," News of the World quoted a source as saying.

"He was sick of all the visits over and was starting to get jealous about her friendships. She loves him very much and decided it was finally time to stop putting her career first. She'll still make lots of trips over because she''s massively popular there. But she'll stay permanently based in London," the source added.
