(Cover) - EN Showbiz - Drew Barrymore is "yearning" to tie the knot and have children.

The Hollywood actress is currently dating art consultant Will Kopelman. Sources have revealed that the 36-year-old star is craving a settled family life with her beau.

"[Drew] is yearning to get married and have kids," a source told Us Weekly.

The insider added that Will, 34, has already been thinking about engagement rings and could ask for Drew's hand in marriage "around the one-year mark of their dating" this winter.

Will is reportedly waiting for the perfect time to do it.

"He's madly in love and knows she's The One, but he just needs a bit more time," the source added.

The insider explained that Will understands the significance of popping the question sooner rather than later. He is apparently aware of Drew's desire to start a family.

"If this were some twenty-something woman, there would be no rush," the source explained.

Drew's wish to have a baby could lead to her announcing her pregnancy before her engagement. The insider revealed that the stunning star is especially broody.

"I could see her getting pregnant before they get married!" the source smiled. (C) Cover Media
