Nadine Coyle has bought a Mexican restaurant in California, according to reports.
The Girls Aloud singer is said to have bought the eatery in Newport Beach, the setting for popular US TV show 'The OC'.
According to The Mirror newspaper, she was busy finalising the deal when she missed last month's Brit Awards.
Coyle, whose family recently moved to nearby Santa Monica to open an Irish pub, said: "LA is my home now and the UK is where I work. I don't see the UK as home anymore because all my family are in the States."
The Derry-born singer and Hollywood star Josh Hartnett were recently the subject of rumours after they were spotted together several times last week.
