Jessica Alba is moving to New York.

The actress and her husband Cash Warren - who have a nine-month-old daughter Honor - were seen looking at properties in the east coast city over the weekend, with sources claiming they are keen to leave Los Angeles.

An insider said: "Jessica and Cash met with lots of different realtors to view several apartments.

They like the idea of living in Manhattan and are interested in particular in properties under construction so they can have some involvement in what the place looks like." The couple may be house hunting to find a bigger property as Jessica is reportedly "desperate" to have another baby.

A source close to the actress said: "Jessica and Cash are working overtime to get pregnant. She and Cash are boasting that they love being parents and are determined to expand their family as soon as possible."
