Perhaps Hugh Grant and Jemima Khan’s recent snippiness with each other has been brought on by the stress of house-hunting: according to the Daily Mail, the couple are planning to buy a new home together to share in London’s Richmond Hill.

A source close to the pair told the newspaper: “They want to invest in a more permanent home of their own. Hugh has joked that he has ‘£4million to spare’ and Jemima is willing to invest a similar amount.”

“I don’t think wedding bells are on the horizon yet, but the house hunting is a great sign.”

“We would all love to see Hugh settle down and start a family. Richmond is the perfect place in London to do this.”

“It’s a big step but they are definitely ready for it. Who knows what’s next?”
