Seven months on and it looks like the lovebirds are set to marry, with a wedding reported to be planned for early 2015. "Everyone thinks it's wild but are so happy for them," one source told Us Weekly. "Benji always tends to fall in love easily, but this time it's for real and he landed a great girl. They obviously both make each other incredibly happy and there's nothing better than that." Back in September, a source said that Benji was keen to go down the traditional route of getting married first and then think about starting a family. "She really doesn't care about getting married but wants babies," they said. "He wants to get engaged and married first."
