Dakota Fanning may be moving in with her boyfriend Jamie Strachan. Otherwise, why would “Effie Grey” actress be running around with cardboard boxes all over New York?

According to South Carolina SC, “The 21-year-old actress showed off her taut tummy and svelte frame in a black crop top and pair of Adidas sweatpants while carrying a cardboard box.”

Maybe this is triggered by all the alone time that she has been spending in the city. But she certainly is enjoying her time alone more than those spent with her older boyfriend Jamie Strachan. “Effie Grey” actress was caught again in New York, but without her boyfriend.

In fact she seemed totally fine with her boyfriend Jamie Strachan doing some of her dirty work in New York. Seeing how the couple has not been seen together in a long while, it’s relieving to see that ‘Effie Grey’ actress seems to have the upper hand in relationship.

According to Daily Mail, “Their relationship appears to be going from strength to strength. And on Monday Dakota Fanning let her boyfriend take on some more duties in New York. The blonde beauty, 21, was spotted walking alongside Jamie Strachan as he carried some large shipping boxes.”

Before this sighting, Dakota Fanning was caught possibly having an intense argument with her boyfriend Jamie Strachan on the phone in New York. While it could have been anyone else, ‘Effie Grey’ actress did seem very agitated talking to someone on the streets of New York.

According to Daily Mail, “The 21-year-old actress was seen acting very animated during a phone call on Thursday when she was spotted out and about in her current residence of New York City. Perhaps the Effie Gray star was instructing a cab to halt or waving off a bystander. Either way, she had something of an emotional conversation on her cell phone.”

Now that she is 21 years old, Dakota Fanning may be looking to put her career before her relationship with her boyfriend Jamie Strachan. In a recent interview, she also revealed that she also wants to direct movies.

According to Indie Wire, ‘Effie Grey’ actress said: “I've always known that I want to be a director, but I've also learned that I would love to find my own material and develop that.”

Seeing how her boyfriend Jamie Strachan is 12 years older than she is, the fans are sure that there are many things that they don’t see eye to eye.
