Eve is acknowledging her British accent after fans have taken note of her voice in recent interviews.

In a sit-down with The Romesh Show, the rapper, who was born in Philadelphia and spent her first three decades in America, said she has been living in England “almost 12 years,” adding, “I love it.”

The “Who’s That Girl” rapper, 47, married husband Maximillion Cooper in June 2015.

“When Max and I got married, I was kinda like, three years, tops. Three, four years … once [the kids] got older, too, I was like, ‘Oh, well, we could probably live somewhere else,’ ” Eve said.

She continued: “It’s crazy how much I feel at home here.”

Fans have recently noted Eve has taken on a subtle British accent, though the rapper said in the interview she doesn’t feel culturally British.

“I am so American still,” she said. “I will say, though, if you — it’s funny, like on my socials now, when I do interviews and things, people are like, ‘Oh, I hear that British accent,’ or my friends will say to me, ‘Did you hear what you just said?’ I’ve obviously taken on some things, but I am so loud and American still.”

Cooper shared the same photo on his own Instagram, writing, “Let the wild rumpus begin!” Eve is also stepmom to Cooper’s four kids: Lotus, Jagger, Cash and Mini.

The rapper recently appeared on the Jennifer Hudson Show, sharing that she brought her son, now 4, with her on her most recent tour and felt like a “superhero” knowing he was watching her perform.

“He’s small enough that I can take him everywhere, but he’s old enough to really remember,” she told host Jennifer Hudson. “I felt like a superhero with him watching me in a way. I’m like, ‘Wow, like I’ve had all this life and now here’s this little person.’ And me performing on stage with him watching gives it new life for me. It’s incredible.”
