The Voice host Renée Bargh feels ‘the time is right’ to move back to Australia ‘permanently’

She spent the last decade living in Los Angeles, covering ritzy red carpets and interviewing celebrities for Extra TV.   

But Australian TV personality Renée Bargh, 34, is reportedly hoping to close the chapter on her life in the US and make a permanent move Down Under. 

‘She has been working with E! for 10 years, misses her family and knows she can get a good gig in Australia, so now the time feels right,’ a close friend of the entertainment reporter apparently told The Sunday Telegraph.   

The publication claims that Renée has wanted to return Down Under for some time, but work and personal commitments have always stopped her. 

Renée returned to Australian screens this year co-hosting The Voice Australia alongside Darren McMullen – replacing Sonia Kruger. 

Speaking to Weekend Today about her role in January, the Emmy award winner said she was elated for the opportunity to work in her home country. 

‘I’m so elated, honestly, I’ve been wanting to come home for a very long time,’ Renee admitted with a large grin.   

‘This feels like the perfect job to be doing that. I couldn’t be happier,’ she said.  

Meanwhile, Renée, who is currently single, recently revealed her desire to start a family in the near future.

Speaking to TV Week last month, the clucky blonde said she drives her friends ‘crazy’ by showing them pictures of her niece as though she was her own child.

‘My younger sister Danielle has a one-year-old who is the absolute love of my life. I’m obsessed with her,’ Renée told the publication.

But while Renée’s motherhood plans seem to be set in stone, she has been struggling to date amid the coronavirus pandemic.

She added: ‘[Being a mother] is absolutely in my plan. We’ll have to see how that goes, because it’s quite hard to even date right now.’
