After an eight-year engagement, macho cinematic stud Jason Statham is finally ready to marry model Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, according to sources who disseminate information that the longtime pair also intends to strengthen their bond with baby number three!
"They're extremely happy together. They've had their ups and downs - mainly over how flaky he was," an insider told Globe Magazine.
However, he has overcome his difficulties with commitment and demonstrated that he is an outstanding partner and parent; as a result, according to the insider, they are further in love than they have ever been.
The "Fast & Furious" hottie, who is 57, and his catwalk cutie, who is 37, have been together since 2009. They have a son named Jack, who is seven years old, and a daughter named Isabella, who is two years old, PEOPLE Magazine reported.
Six years ago, the stunning woman asserted that getting married was not a "huge priority" and stated that plans were put on hold until Jack Statham could attend their wedding ceremony.
"Rosie isn't all that traditional. She's not the type that spent her childhood dreaming of a wedding, so it wasn't something she ever pushed for," the insider confided. "After they got engaged, she ended up getting pregnant, so they put it off because she didn't want to be pregnant at the wedding. Then they had the idea they wanted their son to be old enough to be a part of the wedding, so they put it off even longer."
According to insiders who wish to remain anonymous, the emphasis is now on them getting married before starting a family.
They are hoping to expand their family shortly. If they can avoid having to put their plans on hold once more, they would prefer to tie the knot before she becomes pregnant. The joke goes something like, "If we wait any longer, they'll be in the nursing home before the wedding," which, according to the source, is actually rather accurate.
Onscreen, the hero of the action movie is as tough as nails, but when he's at home, he's a puppy dog who falls in love with his dame, as was earlier reported by Globe Magazine.
"He loves to joke about how he's punching above his weight with her - that's why he's always flashing the cash to keep her happy!" a spy squealed.
Business Times has reached out to Jason Statham for comments.
