American Idol‘s Leah Marlene Moves to Los Angeles
Last month, Leah posted on Instagram about turning 21 and shared the news that she would soon be moving from her hometown of Normal, Illinois, to Los Angeles. Then over the weekend, she posted a photo at the wheel of a car, captioned, “brb… moving across the country.”
Leah also took to her Instagram stories on Sunday once she made it to LA after 30 hours of driving. She said it was “so weird” that she lives there now, sharing that she would be in a sublease for the first six weeks.
She shared her excitement about the size of her closet and said she’d love to have helping moving her stuff again next month. “I live in LA now,” she said incredulously as she looked around her room.
But what really made Leah happy about her new home is that she got to order her favorite salad from California Chicken Cafe. She called it “the love of my life in food form” and said it was all she ordered during her time on American Idol.
