But now the A-list couple are considering packing in their life Stateside after falling in love with Blighty.
John explained in an exclusive chat with Bizarre's Howell: 'We love it here. Chrissy loves it and the kids love it.
'We spent our last Christmas here and two or three Christmases ago we were here as well.
'We like to be in a colder place. We don't like to be in Los Angeles for Christmas.

'It's too warm and sunny and we both grew up in a colder weather environment so it doesn't feel like Christmas if it's warm.'
Asked if that meant they would consider relocating here, he added: 'Yes, we would. I mean, especially now.
'We always talk about the possibility of moving to New York or London.
'Those are two cities that we would definitely consider living in. We love walking cities.

'There's something very appealing about both of them and Chrissy and I feel like we thrive in those kinds of environments, so it's something to consider for sure.'
The All Of Me singer is such a fan of the UK that he chose it as the place to kick off his Get Lifted — 20th Anniversary Tour.

'My last tour was like a solo show where I literally told stories the whole time. So this is a lot less of that and it's the full band and a lot more music.
'A lot more music'
'When I think about Get Lifted, I associate a lot of that early promo and those early shows with London and with the UK.

'I just remember playing the Jazz Cafe and those early gigs, and Ordinary People especially took off here.
'It's perfect that we start the tour here.' John is now somehow juggling a six-month tour with work on his 11th studio album.
He said: 'The way I'm approaching the next album is, how do I make that one the best one I've ever done?
'How do I collaborate with people who are going to make me better and bring out something special in me?

'That's what I'm going to focus on and the awards will take care of themselves.
'We've written a lot prior to this tour. Most of it's written.'
One thing you can't expect from John and Chrissy is a reality show, as he revealed they have turned down offers.

'Yeah, we've been approached,' he said. You know, she's very entertaining and I'm like her straight man.
'Every comic needs a straight man.
'I feel like we share plenty on social media and we like being in control of what we share.
So anything we would do on the unscripted side, it would have to be with us having control over what we share.

Bedroom encounters
'Shows are built around people arguing with each other. We're just not interested in that version.'
The couple now have four kids. But asked if they would like more, John said hastily: 'No. That was a quick answer. I'm all done.'
There's no doubt his soulful, sexy music has helped make plenty of other babies though.

Asked whether fans tell him about bedroom encounters with his tunes as the soundtrack, he said: 'Oh, so many awkward conversations.

'We hear about that. We hear about people getting married which is not as awkward.
'But either way, it just lets you know that you make music that is part of people's lives.'
