The supermodel is househunting in Los Angeles and enlisted her new friend - who lives in the American city with husband David Beckham and their sons Brooklyn, 10, Romeo, seven, and Cruz, four - to help look for a new property.

A source told Britain`s Daily Star newspaper: "Kate has asked her people to contact Victoria`s management.

"She wanted to know which real estate agents Victoria used and wants to go with the same people.

"She`s getting tired of flying in and out of LA and thinks that getting a permanent base in Beverly Hills would be a good idea."

Meanwhile, Victoria`s husband David has spoken about how much he hates being apart from his family, saying it will "kill" him to move to Italy in January.

The soccer star - who will leave his current team Los Angeles Galaxy for a six-month loan spell with AC Milan in the new year - said: "The biggest thing for me is I go away and leave my family for six months.

"They come over and see me for a week every eight weeks. Anyone who knows me knows how I feel about my children, about my wife and my family and I hate being away from them. Being away from my family and my children kills me."
