Scarlett Johansson wants to move back to New York City from Paris.

The 'Avengers: Age of Ultron' star has been living mainly in French capital with her French husband Romain Dauriac and their eight-month-old daughter Rose but she is reportedly eager to relocate their family back to the US permanently for her career.

A source close to the 30-year-old actress said: ''Scarlett's dream of living in Paris and keeping her Hollywood career going has turned into a bit of a nightmare.

''She's had a very hard time adjusting to living in France full-time. Romain is adamant on staying in Paris, but Scarlett is homesick, plus she doesn't feel as safe there as she does in the US. Now that she has a baby, safety is her first priority.''

The blonde beauty recently admitted she still likes to cook her favourite American dishes to give herself a ''little taste of home''.

Scarlett is convinced it was her all-American menu that made her husband Romain fall in love with her.

She previously said: ''My husband says he fell in love with me when I made him turkey meatloaf, which is so ridiculous and so American and my husband is French.

''But I think it was probably the American flavour that hooked him.

''I live in Paris so we eat French food a lot but I like to make American food when I'm there for a little taste of home. I know he loves it.''
