Jemima gets Hugh to commit - to a home

Last updated at 09:53 06 February 2007


Hugh Grant and

Jemima Khan are

househunting in family-friendly Richmond

Hill, near Jemima’s

mother’s home, we can reveal.

The pair have been viewing

£8million houses in the area over

the past few weeks and hope to

make a final decision soon.

They each own properties of

their own but this will be their

first home together.

Jemima will see the

househunting as a step in the right

direction for Hugh, who she loudly

accused of being

commitmentphobic at her 33rd birthday party.

One diner at The George

restaurant, in Mayfair, claimed:

“Jemima told guests: ‘If I had a

child with Hugh, his dad would

be 60 before he was even a

teenager. That’s how long it takes

Hugh to make up his mind’.”

Hugh, 46, is then said to have

responded by calling her a “

dictator” and a nag. Presumably these

loving conversations will

continue when they move in together.

A source said: “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.”

Could this be a sign that Hugh

is finally ready to settle down

with Jemima after three years?

A pal of the pair told Daily Mail sister paper: “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.”

The pair were out again last

night, and Jemima seemed to

have learned her lesson after

being photographed wearing no

knickers recently.

Sensibly she wore less revealing

outfit of jumper and jeans as she

and Hugh dined at Scotts

restaurant in Mayfair.
