American publication Life & Style‘s latest issue claim Jen 46, and her fiancé of three years are in double celebration mode after secretly tying the knot at their Bel-Air home back in June and are in the process of adopting a daughter.

“Jen and Justin signed papers after going through a series of interviews,” the insider revealed to the publication, before revealing: “There is still a long way to go.”

In the past the Friends star has admitted she’s love to get hitched in secret.

“There’s a big discussion in our house right now: Do you just do it and say screw it? Or do you try desperately to get away with [a secret ceremony] where you don’t have any fun because you’re hiding in a cave somewhere?” Jen told InStyle at the start of the year about her impending nuptials to Justin.

Adding: “If we could do it without all the buzzing and the noise…It can be done. Where there’s a will there’s a way.”

While the couple are yet to welcome their adopted child into their lives, the insider dished that “Jen has never been happier or more excited in her life.” And the Cake starlet can thank long-time friend and fellow actress, Sandra Bullock for inspiring her to adopt!

Life & Style claim Jen was inspired by Sandra Bullock’s adoption of little Louis.

The source claimed that the 46-year-old knew her biological clock was ticking and after spending time with Sandy and her adorable adopted son, Louis, she knew adopting a baby girl would be perfect for her!

“Jen has always wanted a daughter. I think because her and her mother aren’t that close Jen feels an emotional need to ‘get it right’ as a mother to a girl,” the pal mused.

With plans well and truly underway, the magazine claims Jen has already begun decorating a pink nursery and told her pals she is going to name her baby “Phillipa,” and call her “Pippa” for short.

Jen explained in a new interview with The Hollywood Reporter in January that having a baby has been on her mind.

“I get nervous around that, just because it’s very personal. Who knows if it’s going to happen? It’s been a want. We’re doing our best.”

It seems the Hollywood star definitely feels the outside pressure, admitting to People in 2011: “I think people honestly just want to see me as a mum and married and barefoot and pregnant in the kitchen. And I just want to say, ‘Everybody, relax! It’s going to happen.’ “

Despite reports claiming she is set to become a mum, it might not be the case. Celebrity website, GossipCop have reported one of Jen’s reps have denied the latest wave of adoption news.

No matter the case, we just want Jen to be happy. Plus she is a great godmother to Courtney Cox’s daughter, Coco – so no doubt she’d be a great mum to her own baby!
