We've been stung too many times by innumerable rumours regarding Courteney Cox, Angelina Jolie and Jennifer Aniston's wedding dates that we're refusing to believe this one. And, to be honest, we're still not over Sean not getting back together with Madonna. They kind of deserve each other.

Charlize and Sean have only been dating for eight months (a lifetime compared to most recently hitched couples) but they are determined to take their relationship to the next level by tying the knot in her home country South Africa - where Sean is directing his her in The Last Face - later this summer.

A source said: "They want to get married very soon."

The 38-year-old beauty - who has two-year-old son Jackson - is reportedly keen to adopt a child with the 53-year-old hunk shortly after they've exchanged vows.

The insider told Us Weekly: "Charlize always intended to have another child."

Sean - who already has 23-year-old daughter Dylan and 20-year-old son Hopper with his ex-wife Robin Wright - has also been bonding with Charlize's young son.

The insider, who's not one for gabbing, simply added: "He is a father figure to him."

Meanwhile, the pair - who have known each other for 18 years - have watched each other change over the years and are looking forward to a positive future together as a couple.

The source explained: "Charlize has seen Sean grow up. He's a wiser soul and much more patient. They're looking to the future with a lot of hope."

Here's Sean being "much more patient" last year.
