London: Madonna wants to move back to UK after rediscovering her love for London while directing her new movie `W.E.` about King Edward VIII.
The singer, who relocated from London to New York following her divorce from film director Guy Ritchie in 2008, is currently in London directing her new movie `WE`, about late British monarch King Edward VIII`s decision to abdicate the throne for his American divorcee lover Wallis Simpson, Daily Star reported.
Despite originally planning to only stay for the six-month shoot, Madonna has rediscovered her love for the UK capital and told ex- husband Ritchie she wants to move back to Britain for good.
"Guy says she talks about their home in Wiltshire, the kids and their friends in London. She seems nostalgic for her old life. She had built up a big circle of friends and fell in love with London. She`ll always love New York but she feels more at ease in London," a source said.
Madonna, who has four children, Lourdes, 13, Rocco, nine, Mercy, five, and four-year-old David - is said to be keen to move back to reconnect with her old friends.
"The person she spends most time with is her daughter Lourdes but she is desperate for more adult company," the source added.
The 51-year-old superstar previously said she fell out of love with the UK because she couldn`t stand being referred to as `Madge`, her British nickname.
"That`s one of the reasons I left England - so I don`t have to hear the word `Madge` anymore. Some people say `Madge` is a colloquialism for a boring middle-aged housewife. And other people say it`s short for Majesty," she had said.
