AceShowbiz - Arctic Monkeys frontman Alex Turner has reportedly moved back to his native U.K. from Los Angeles at his French girlfriend's request.
The "Fluorescent Adolescent" hitmaker moved out to L.A. in 2013 and dated U.S. model Taylor Bagley for three years until 2018. He is now in a long-term relationship with French singer Louise Verneuil and, according to British newspaper The Sun, the couple has now moved to a $1.2 million home in east London together.
Explaining living in the U.K. them to spend time together when Louise's work requires her to travel to France, a source told the publication, "Alex spent much of his late 20s and early 30s in L.A., which was amazing for him - especially as he isn't quite as recognisable there."
"But it got to the point where it just made sense to move back to the U.K. He and Louise are very steady together and being in L.A. wasn't ideal for her when her career is in France," they continued. "She has just released her album Lumiere Noire and wanted to be in France to promote it. They've got a nice place in London now and are really happy."
The Arctic Monkeys released their last album, "Tranquility Base Hotel & Casino", in 2018, which was partly recorded in London and France, as well as L.A., where the group had based themselves while working on their previous two records, "Suck It and See" and "AM".
