James Corden and his wife Julia Carey have been enjoying some time together in their old home city of Los Angeles, heading out for a romantic dinner date this week.

The couple were spotted strolling to celebrity-favorite pasta restaurant Funke in Beverly Hills.

The TV star, 47, looked dapper in a black shirt and jeans whilst his wife of 14 years looked chic in a white coord set and sandals.

The couple used to live just five miles from Beverly Hills in a vast family home in the exclusive Brentwood Park neighbourhood.

They sold the seven-bedroom estate in 2023 for $17.1 million after James quit his US series The Late, Late Show to relocate back home to the UK.

Lately though the star has been back Stateside, returning to US broadcasting to host the World Cup after show for Fox, with ex-England captain Rio Ferdinand and comedian Ian Karmel, formerly co-head writer on The Late Late Show.

'Soccer is a massive part of my life,' he explained when his new venture was announced. 'In the eight and a half years that I lived in Los Angeles, I would go and watch Galaxy games with Zlatan Ibrahimović when he was playing, and I saw the rise of LA.'

'It really feels like now is an incredible time for North America to be hosting this tournament and we're going to really try and have some fun.'

James and Julia, who married in 2012, share three children, Max, 13, Carey, 10, and Charlotte, seven, and he has admitted it has been 'hard' on his family to split their time between their home in the UK and US for James' work since their relocation.

The actor was also working in the US last autumn, starring in the Broadway musical Art.  

He explained to People.com back then how his family had been flying back and forth.

'It's hard, but very lucky we were here for the whole time of rehearsals and they'll be back out for a couple of weeks in October,' he said. 'I get to go home, actually, this weekend because I had something I was already booked to do before this arrived, so ... it's okay, we're getting through it.'

James quit his job hosting The Late Late Show after eight years to spend more time with his family.

It aired its last episode in April 2023, and James subsequently moved back to London with Julia and their three children.

Explaining his decision to Extra, he said: 'My kids are getting older, their grandparents are getting older, and it perhaps just felt like the right time for us as a family to be freer in our decisions.'

Speaking to Drew Barrymore about his exit, James admitted: 'Look it's not easy in any way to walk away from something that is so, I mean, I'll never work in a better environment than the one I work in now.

'Nothing about leaving the show was to do with not enjoying it. I love it. But the truth is it became a very easy decision because I always knew it was an adventure and I never, ever considered it to be the final destination.

'But I will know, at my core, that the best thing for me and the best thing for us as a family is to put down some roots in London, and it feels absolutely right in every single way.'
