Ricky, 24, and Marnie, 21, met at the National Television Awards at the beginning of the year and have been pretty much inseparable ever since.
And it seems they're both in it for the long run.
A source told the Mirror: "It's got serious between them so quickly – Marnie has even Skyped Ricky's mum and they were talking about baby names.
"Not that they're planning on having kids any time soon. They're just so wrapped up in each other and dreaming about the great future they want together."
They're so wrapped up in each other that Ricky didn't even want to leave Newcastle to return to filming for TOWIE in Essex.
An insider added: "Ricky raised eyebrows when he said he didn't want to be separated from Marnie for filming."
Ricky split from long-term girlfriend Jessica Wright, 29, last year and she suggested that either he or Marnie are in it for the gain.
She told new! magazine: "I question the agenda. It's not my problem though and I wish them well."
