VH1 Divas Edition, Part 2 - Leona Lewis' House

British singing sensation, and newly-crowned diva, Leona Lewis definitely did her thing on stage last night at the VH1 Divas Live show.

Leona is one of four of the new crop of VH1 Divas who owe their fame to Simon Cowell. You probably already know that the other three -- Kelly Clarkson, Jennifer Hudson, and Jordin Sparks -- all got their big break as contestants on FOX's American Idol. Kelly and Jordin actually won during their respective seasons.

Anyhoo, turns out that Leona Lewis got her big break on X Factor, the English version of American Idol, on which Simon Cowell is also a judge. Like Kelly and Jordin, she ultimately won the competition.
In addition to obtaining a record contract, Leona also got Simon as a mentor. She became a huge British/international star. He eventually brought her to the States to make her an American star (a status that is strangely always above the realm of "international star").

We know, we know, get to the point! Where does she live?!!!

Where else? Los Angeles of course! According to the L.A. Times, she lives in a 2BR/2BA contemporary home (below) in the Hollywood Hills that reportedly costs nearly $9,000/month.


Rumor has it that Simon bought this place for her and that she leases it from him. Hmmm, wonder what his girlfriend (who looks a little like Leona) thinks of that?
Up next: Kelly Clarkson's home.

  1. If Leona and Simon's girlfriend look even a little a like, get ready for the cat fight.

  3. Is Leona married? I thought she had on a ring in a clip during the VH1 Diva Awards...

  4. Hi Tina, We believe she is still with her electrician boyfriend Lou Al-Chamaa. She's been known to wear a ring on her wedding finger, but at far as we know they have not gotten married. She could be another Janet Jackson though (who was secretly married for about 12 years).
