A-list royalty couple Beyoncé and Jay-Z are reportedly looking to move over to Blighty and leave the dazzling world of Hollywood behind a quieter part of the world
Beyoncé and Jay-Z are reportedly set to swap Hollywood for the Cotswolds – where they could be at home among in towns frequented by A-listers.
The A-list couple are rumoured to be eyeing up the region for the “land and space” – after the LA wildfires in January 2025.
An inside source told MailOnline the family, along with children Blue Ivy, 13, Rumi, seven and Sir, seven, has even holidayed in the rural hotspot before.
The ‘Texas Hold’Em’ songstress and ‘99 Problems’ rapper could be eyeing up Great Tew, near Chipping Norton, where Taylor Swift reportedly stayed during the UK leg of her ‘Eras’ Tour in June 2024.
Great Tew is also home to the exclusive Soho Farmhouse, a private members only club that charges £2,950 a year in membership fees – frequented by A-listers and high flyers, even hosting Meghan Markle’s hen do.
Self-confessed “foodies,” the couple might also find themselves drawn to one of only 33 Michelin Green Star restaurants in the country, The Trough at Daylesford Farm.
The posh eatery serves up a salad for £23 and a cheese tart for £18.50. A bottle of the best red wine sets customers back £55.
Alternatively, the pair could also be looking at Burford, a town on the Cotswold hills and famously home to Jeremy Clarkson’s pub, The Farmer’s Dog, which charges £199.99 for an extra-extra large pie.
The couple have opened up in the past about eating a plant-based diet – and are known for leaving huge tips at Michelin-star restaurants, reportedly once leaving a £376 tip after a £904 meal at Italian restaurant Nello, New York City.
Bucking the trend, Beyoncé could be looking at the ‘Cotswolds’ hippest town,’ just 10 miles away from Chipping Norton.
Shipston-on-Stour, also boasting a CV36 postcode, is home to independent charity and antique shops – with easy transport links to London.
The Cotswolds, in Gloucestershire and Oxfordshire, have become a favourite countryside haunt for the rich and famous, with the likes of David and Victoria Beckham, Kate Moss, Lily Allen, Simon Cowell and Ellen Degeneres among A-listers with properties in the area. Top Gear favourite Jeremy Clarkson also has his Diddly Squat Farm there.
According to the source, the family are currently only looking for a short-term arrangement while weighing up their options.
They added: “They’ve been looking for properties and will buy if they find somewhere that feels like home, but are looking at short-term agreements while they make their decision.
“The wildfires have given them a good reason to look outside of Los Angeles to build new bases.
“They will always be based in LA, but the UK is on the agenda.
“Beyoncé loves the UK because they support everything she does.”
