Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds reportedly started talking about marriage over Christmas.

The two stars have enjoyed something of a whirlwind romance after they started dating last year. They are apparently set to move into together and rumours about a wedding have been swirling for weeks.

It's now been claimed the pair actually began discussing nuptials over Christmas two months after they are thought to have got together.

"They absolutely adore each other. Their families have met and everyone things they're absolutely perfect for each other," a source told the British edition of Grazia magazine. "Blake and Ryan have been talking about marriage since Christmas but, recently, it's become more serious."

Blake recently purchased a home on the outskirts of New York City and Ryan is said to live there too.

They have apparently told close friends they are already engaged and this is the first step on the road to married life.
