They only made their red-carpet debut three months ago, but insiders say that Denise Van Outenand Jimmy Barba are close to taking the next step in their relationship.

Pals tell Closer that the pair are planning on moving in together and that Jimmy is even considering popping the question to the 48-year-old TV presenter in the New Year.

A source says, “Denise is happier now than she’s been in years, and that’s thanks in no small part to Jimmy.

“They haven’t been together long, but they are pretty much inseparable, so moving in together feels like the natural next step. It is something they are both really excited about.

“Jimmy has made no secret of the fact he loves Denise to bits, so nobody would be surprised if he proposed before Christmas. They are such a great couple and share the same circle of friends so it’s a natural fit. Jimmy has also taken time to get to know Denise’s family and her daughter and they all think he’s great. After everything Denise has been through, they’re all just relieved she’s found someone who makes her so happy.”

Denise and ex-Italian reality star Jimmy started dating shortly after she split from her ex Eddie Boxshall seven months ago.

Back in 2010, Jimmy, 51, was a household name in Italy when he starred in the eleventh series of Big Brother (Grande Fratello), finishing in fourth place and having an on-screen romance with a co-star.
