Ding, dong! That's the sound of wedding bells – and word is there will be some ringing in the near future for two Hollywood ladies: Renée Zellweger and LeAnn Rimes.

Friends of  Renée, 40, say she’s happier than she’s ever been, and that’s because she’s getting ready to marry the love of her life, 35-year-old Bradley Cooper!

The couple met last year and have since shacked up together in a $4 million, four-bedroom house in Pacific Palisades, California. Their relationship has outlasted Renée's brief marriage to country singer Kenny Chesney, whom she married in 2005 after only four months of dating. After another four months, Renée had the marriage annulled.

Kenny recently appeared on the Oprah Winfrey Show where he talked about their marriage for the first time, saying, "Renée’s a sweet soul, no doubt about it, but I just wasn’t ready… This is the first time I’ve actually talked about it, but that’s what happened."

Poor Renée. Will she have better luck this time around with Bradley? Well, it doesn't seem like one failed marriage has slowed the actress down – the couple is talking babies... already!

"[Bradley and Renée] have decided to have children right away," says our source. "Bradley really wants kids.” Or, is it because they can hear Renée's biological clock ticking away?

“Renée has put her career on hold for him," our insider continues. "She has no movies lined up except for the sequel to Bridget Jones and that is in pre-production. There is no final script, no director and no cast."

But it seems as if Bradley isn't doing the same for his girlfriend. The two have been in New York while he films The Dark Fields, and he'll also have a busy schedule promoting The A-Team, which opens in June. Afterwards, he'll goes straight into shooting Which Brings Me to You with Kate Winslet. "Meanwhile, Renée is already playing the loving, devoted wife."

But Renée, sweetie, how can you be a acting all wifey when your boyfriend can't even find the time for a wedding?
