Charlize Theron sports engagement ring?

Charlize Theron has further fuelled speculation she and Sean Penn are engaged after being pictured wearing a huge engagement ring.

The 38-year-old actress - who has been romancing the 'Milk' star for eight months - was spotted in Los Angeles International airport on Wednesday (23.07.14) sporting a huge diamond ring on her engagement finger, prompting speculation her 53-year-old beau has proposed.

The sighting of the ring comes just a week after it was claimed the pair are planning to tie the knot in the 'Snow White and the Huntsman' star's native South Africa in the coming months.

A source said: ''They want to get married very soon.'' And Charlize - who has two-year-old adopted son Jackson - is reportedly keen to adopt a child with Sean shortly after they've exchanged vows.

The insider added: ''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 added: ''He is a father figure to him.'' Meanwhile, the loved-up 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.''
