Danny DeVito may move back to New York in the wake of his marriage split

The actor and producer may move from Los Angeles back to the US East Coast - where he originally hails from - in the wake of the break up of his 30 year marriage to Rhea Perlman.

A source told RadarOnline.com: "He's a [New] Jersey boy, and despite living several years in California he's never forgotten his roots. He even named his production company, Jersey Films after his place of birth.

"Danny and Rhea used to stay at his vacation home in Interlaken, New Jersey whenever they wanted a break away from Los Angeles.

He never really felt an affinity to California and lived there purely for work reasons.

"He loves living in a bustling, busy city and is looking at New York for a permanent stay - it's just closer to home for Danny."

The 67-year-old star's children with Rhea - Chet, Grace and Jacob - are also all grown up, so he isn't said to be worried about having to look after them.

Danny and Rhea split earlier this month, reportedly because he was always flirting with other women, with sources saying their union had been on the rocks for a long time.

A source said: "Despite his reputation as a lovable, funny guy in movies and on TV, Danny's actually quite the womaniser.

"And, like a lot of red-blooded males, if he sees an attractive girl in a coffee shop or walking down the street, he will give her the eye.

"After years of turning a blind eye to it, Rhea finally snapped. She had enough of his bad boy behaviour and wanted an end to their marriage.

"The break-up has been on the cards for a long time, probably over 10 years, because they haven't been happy for a long, long time."
