Amanda shares Lexi and a younger daughter Hollie, 11, with her music producer husband Chris Hughes, with whom she tied the knot in 2008.
A source told The Sun: “Amanda is seriously considering moving to the States. It feels like the time has come now.
“She spent school vacations in LA with the whole family and had a wonderful time.”
“She even walked the set of America’s Got Talent and sat next to judges Heidi Klum and Sofia Vergara, the producers absolutely loved her,” they added.
Web has reached out to Amanda’s rep for comment.
Amanda put her £5million “dream home” on the market in Surrey last year and is still trying to sell the lavish property.
She initially bought the lavish property for £3.5million in 2015 and is hoping to make a £1.5million profit after revamping it in her style.
However, Amanda is currently struggling to sell the lavish property as it has been on the market for a year since it was first listed while she is still looking for a buyer.

She put the property on the market for £5million in May 2022, with a source saying at the time she was “really proud” of her home refurbishment. It was then delisted in August 2022 before being relisted in March 2023.
Amanda often shows off her stunning home makeovers as she’s proudly allowed her fans a peek inside her ‘dream home’.
Not only does it feature a hot tub, outbuilding and 30ft by 27ft living room, it also has some unique touches from a palm tree planted in honor of Sir Captain Tom Moore and a drawing of the Connor Brothers worth £30,000.
The property features a modern garden with a decking area, an expansive lawn, box trees and ornamental grasses adding to the luxurious feel.
In one of the three bathrooms, the walls are covered in antique framed photographs, while the huge living room is steel blue with a geometric-printed rug and gold accents and lots of pineapple accoutrements.
The mansion, which includes five bedrooms, three bathrooms and a study, is located behind two private gates that lead to the house on a private road.
Meanwhile, her gorgeous kitchen features a sleek white breakfast bar that seats at least four people on modern gold stools with white cushions.
The dining area features a gray round table that overlooks their expansive garden, with huge double doors that bathe the space in natural daylight.
Amanda brought extra light into the space with an array of gold light fixtures that perfectly complemented the metallic pops of color around the kitchen.
Her three disco ball-style lights hanging above the bar are each worth £850 and were newly added when Amanda renovated her kitchen with Wilson Fink in lockdown.
After buying the house, Amanda admitted to “pushing” her previous owner into selling it to them for years until they finally relented.
She described the property as her “forever home” but put it up for sale seven years after first buying it last May.

When she first put her house on the market, a source said, “Amanda loves her family’s home and is really proud of the work she has done on it.
“She really participated in the redesign and enjoyed seeing her ideas come to life.
“It will be a sad day when she moves, but Amanda can find solace in the number of memories she created there.”
Amanda and Chris also own a cottage in the Cotswolds which they renovated over the past year.
