The source told the newspaper: “Keira has turned down all scripts for the time being so she can spend more time with Rupert. The problem is he has been doing back-to-back projects for months.”

“Keira was quite concerned they were drifting and he was getting a bit too close to Sophia. So she flew to the set in Germany and they sorted things out.”

“It was then that they decided to buy a house together and they are going to put in £1million each.”

The pair are said to be looking for a property in Notting Hill. Keira currently lives with her brother Caleb in Hyde Park.
