Lewis relationship 'on the rocks'

Leona Lewis and long term boyfriend Lou Al-Chamaa are on the verge of splitting up, reports claim.

The couple, who met in school at the age of ten, have allegedly been struggling to maintain their relationship since Lewis became a global star.

"They are still in love, but Leona's lifestyle is making things really hard," a source told Star magazine.

"Her career is doing so well, but to keep growing as a singer, she has to work even harder. Unfortunately, this leaves her very little time to work on her relationship. It could already be over."

Lewis had previously travelled frequently to London but has recently been renting a mansion in Los Angeles. According to the publication, the couple have not been photographed together since January.

"It is sad, but unless Leona and Lou can find a magic solution, it looks like it could be the end of the road for them," the source added.
