Bardem and Cruz engagement imminent?

Javier Bardem is to set propose to girlfriend Penelope Cruz, according to reports.

British newspaper The Mail on Sunday claims Bardem will whisk the 34-year-old actress away on a romantic holiday next month, when he will pop the question.

A source says: "Both Penelope and Javier are very excited about their future together.

"It has been rumoured that Javier has already proposed but he hasn't asked Penelope to marry him yet. He plans to ask when they are away."

The couple first met on the set of 1992 movie 'Jamon Jamon', but only began dating after reuniting onscreen for Woody Allen's movie 'Vicky Cristina Barcelona' last year.
