Fresh star stories with a cool online feel.

With all the success Leona Lewis has had since winning "The X Factor" in the 2000s, you might imagine her to be pretty comfortable financially. You'd be right in thinking that too; as per Celebrity Net Worth, the "Bleeding Love" singer is worth a cool $10 million despite perhaps not taking on quite as much work after her initial success. 

In 2019 Lewis got married, tying the knot with German dancer Dennis Jauch after being together for eight years, and the pair have spent most of their time in Los Angeles (via Mirror). However, her life has not been without struggles. The star was diagnosed with the autoimmune condition Hashimoto's disease, which affects the thyroid and can cause fatigue and nausea. "When I was first diagnosed, I was absolutely devastated; I felt very scared and alone until I began to research and understand how others were living with the disease," she wrote for Glamour in 2017.

She's also spoken about potentially starting a family with her husband (via Metro), revealing that they've been considering adopting a child — Lewis' mother grew up in a children's home — but that nothing was set in concrete so far: "I'm still figuring things out. If it was up to my husband, we would have had kids yesterday," she told The Telegraph's Stella magazine in 2020.
