They are reportedly engaged after a whirlwind seven-month romance.
And
now more details about their relationship have been revealed, including
how Cameron Diaz knew that Benji Madden was 'the one' thanks to his
'chivalrous ways,' with insiders telling UsWeekly that the musician 'swept her off her feet.'
And
the couple certainly aren't wasting any time as the 42-year-old actress
and her beau are apparently hoping to tie the knot in early 2015.

Not wasting time: Cameron Diaz and Benji Madden, pictured in September, are reportedly planning a wedding in early 2015
Very serious: Us Weekly reported last week that the couple are engaged
A source said: 'Cameron hasn't been this happy in a long time.
'She found someone who knew how lucky he was to have her. The other
guys treated her badly, but Benji would do anything for her. She's madly
in love.'
Although
Cameron had already met Good Charlotte rocker Benji, 35, years before,
it was her good friend Nicole Richie - who is married to Benji's twin
brother Joel - who set them up together.
An insider revealed that the pair bonded over music and had great conversations, saying, 'Cameron has great taste in music.'
Within
a month the couple took their relationship public and after just six
weeks, Benji traveled to Florida to meet the Other Woman actress's
family.
And
luckily the star's mother, Billie, approved, with a Cameron source
saying, 'Billie absolutely loved Benji. She has been gushing about the
relationship, saying she hopes Cameron settles down with him.'
By the end of summer the pair were practically living together in Cameron's $9.5 million Beverly Hills home.
Swept off her feet: The 42-year-old
actress is reportedly happier than ever after a whirlwind romance with
Benji. She is pictured at a photocall on Tuesday for new movie Annie
On
Friday Us Weekly confirmed via multiple sources that the pair were
engaged. Just a couple of days earlier Cameron was seen smiling broadly
as she sported a couple of large sparkly rings on her wedding finger.
Cameron,
who has long been skeptical about marriage, was reportedly warmed to
the idea by Benji who told her it how important it was to him.
A
source said: 'He is more traditional than her. She really doesn't care
about getting married but wants babies. He wants to get engaged and
married first.'
Sparkler: The actress wore what looked
like an engagement ring on her left hand for a taping of The Graham
Norton Show on Tuesday
Nicole
Richie recently revealed she takes full 'responsibility' for Cameron
and Benji getting together, as she introduced the pair.
When asked if she set them up, she said: 'Yes. I'm going to take responsibility for everything!'
While
Cameron has enjoyed high-profile relationships in the past with Matt
Dillon, Jared Leto and Justin Timberlake, Benji has famously dated Paris
Hilton and Sophie Monk.
