Transformers' Rosie Huntington-Whiteley moves in with Jason Statham
THE relationship between movie star
Jason Statham and Victorias Secret model Rosie Huntington-Whiteley is
becoming Hollywoods hottest romance.
The couple, whom started dating in April, have now decided to take the next step and move in together, The Daily Mail newspaper in the UK reports.
Rosie, 23, who quit London for Hollywood after landing Megan Fox's role in Transformers 3, is currently filming in Chicago while Jason is travelling the world promoting his new movie The Expendables.
When their work commitments finish they will return to LA, where Statham has just bought a new house.
"They seem very happy together. Rosie’s on the make and being with a big star like Jason is doing her career no harm at all," says a friend.
"She has been excitedly telling all her friends that they are going to be moving in together."
Mind you, Jason, 37, is keeping one eye on Rosie while she films Transformers with co-star Shia LaBeouf.
"Rosie jokes about how sexy Shia is because she knows it winds Jason up. Jason wants to make sure he holds on to Rosie, and moving in is a sign of his commitment to her," adds the source.
