Mark Wright and Michelle Keegan are said to be considering a permanent move to Australia, despite building a £3.5 million dream home in Essex which is almost complete.
The TOWIE star, 35, has recently jetted off Down Under to visit his wife as she films a new TV drama. The couple have been spending some quality time together after being apart for eight weeks.
During Mark's month-long stay, the pair have enjoyed exploring beaches and dining out, with Mark even climbing the Sydney Harbour Bridge.
35-year-old Michelle reportedly thinks a permanent move to Australia would be "good for their marriage" after seeing how quickly Mark has fallen in love with the country.
"The more they discuss it, the more it makes them think they should do it. They just adore the lifestyle, and also that they can, for the most part, go about unrecognised," a source told Heat magazine.
However, there are some things holding the couple back from making the move, with the source saying they would be reluctant to be so far from friends and family in the UK.
The couple have also spent millions of pounds building their dream home in Essex, with the property nearing completion.
Mark has previously opened up about the tough process of building the house and said it has taken a toll mentally.
Sharing a picture of the property on his Instagram Story, Mark wrote: "A process that has been extremely mentally and physically tough at times but one that is so rewarding.
"On to the final stages now and can't wait for you to see it all come together 100%."
The insider said the couple would consider selling the house, or renting it for millions, if they moved to Australia.
Mark and Michelle started dating in 2012 and tied the knot three years later. They are reportedly set to go back to having a long-distance relationship, with Michelle reportedly heading up north when she returns to the UK.
She is said to have signed up to continue her role as Erin Croft in the new series of Sky's Brassic.
Mark meanwhile, will reportedly remain in Essex as work continues on their dream mansion which is nearing completion after more than a year of construction.
Mark is hugely proud of his wife's successful career, even if it means they are often apart.
Speaking about Michelle's work last year, he gushed: "I’m extremely proud. I feel very lucky. The one thing I’ll say. I’m not arrogant or confident about any kind of talent because I can’t sing to save my life.
"I can’t act; like my wife’s a born actress and is incredible at what she does. I can’t do that."
