Jen and Justin's family plans: We're so ready!

Baby rumours swirl as the couple move in together.

In the seven years since her devastating divorce, Jennifer Aniston thought she’d never again be a bride. In fact, after a string of dud boyfriends, each leaving her feeling more lonely and disappointed than ever, she felt cursed when it came to love. But now, after years of waiting for Mr Right, it seems the spell has been lifted. Following a whirlwind five-month romance with Justin Theroux, Jen is convinced he’s the soul mate she’s been searching for, and the time is right for love, marriage and a baby carriage – in that order. The sooner, the better!

The smitten Wanderlust co-stars moved into their new love nest just last week. Now, after scoping out wedding venues during a romantic 10-day getaway in Hawaii, word is they’re preparing to tie the knot before the year is out. Already Jen, 42, and Justin, 40, have been spotted wearing matching chunky gold bands, said to be pre-engagement rings, on their left hands for several weeks.

And sources close to the pair say they’ve taken the next step by placing an order at an exclusive LA jeweller for wedding rings – two custom-made gold bands with intertwined Js engraved on the inside. A friend reveals, “They know they’ve both found ‘the one’, so they don’t see any point in holding back. They both want a small, intimate beach wedding with just a few of their closest friends and family.”

“Jen’s not obsessing over wedding details – she’s focused on sealing the deal with Justin,” says another close source, speaking exclusively to Woman’s Day. “She wants to marry him and get pregnant now.” Recent photos of the two in Hawaii hint there may be another, more pressing reason for Jen’s haste to marry – that she’s already expecting, and wants to tie the knot before the baby arrives.
