and sources claim she is now ready to take their relationship to the

The actress recently sparked engagement rumours by sporting a prominent gold wedding-style band complete with sparkling diamond.
Cameron
previously admitted that she learned one major lesson from all her
failed romances - don't keep making the same mistake when picking a man.
She said: 'Here's the thing. You make the same mistake over and over again until you learn your lesson.
'We
girls sometimes do the thing where we pick the same person over and
over again - they look and seem different, but deep down, they're the
same. And that's on us.’
But In an interview in Marie Claire earlier
this year, she also got very candid about her private life revealing
she's 'not looking for a husband or marriage' and isn't necessarily
planning for a family.
'I'm not looking for a husband or marriage or not not looking for that stuff,' said the star.
'I'm living, not thinking what I should or shouldn't be doing with my life.'
While
neither Cameron or Benji have confirmed or denied reports of an
engagement, she's also not paying much attention on so-called to
pressures to have children.

So happy: Cameron and Benji started dating in May and have seemed increasingly close
'If
a family happens, then it happens,' said The Other Woman actress. 'If
children come to me, then I would do that, but I’m not someone who feels
like she has to do something because it’s expected.'
Interestingly, Cameron recently revealed that she thought 'timing' is the secret to having a happy relationship.
The
actress says for a man and woman to be compatible they both need to
want the same thing at the same time otherwise your romance is heading
for the rocks.

Not the one: Cameron dated Yankees star Alex Rodriguez from May 2010 to 2011, but they soon went their separate ways
She told Cosmopolitan magazine: 'You have to find someone in the same place as you are. Timing is everything.'
'If
you get into a relationship where you want something the guy doesn't
want, it's never going to work. You're never going to get him to be in
that place.'
'No
matter how old you are, finding the guy who's in the same place as you
are and wants to show up is the only way a relationship works, period.'

'I'm really happy right now', she said, referring to his whirlwind romance.
'It's same for any man, no matter what they do. It drives you,' he said.
He
continued: 'All people, I think, react the same way to the same
situations … like we were saying with Joel being a father … we all want
to be the best we can be.’
And as early as July, friends of the evidently smitten couple insisted it wouldn’t be long before the pair tied the knot.
A source told People: 'It's early, but they have talked about marriage.'
‘Benji
spends so much time at Cameron's that it seems he now kind of lives
there. They look very happy together ... Cameron hasn't looked this
happy for years.'

thirties.'

while Benji is open about his desire to have children, Cameron recently
admitted to Esquire that motherhood doesn't appeal to her.
She
said: 'It's so much more work to have children. To have lives besides
your own that you are responsible for, I didn't take that on. That did
make things easier for me.

'A
baby, that's all day, every day for eighteen years. Not having a baby
might really make things easier, but that doesn't make it an easy
decision.
'I
like protecting people, but I was never drawn to being a mother. I have
it much easier than any of them. That's just what it is. Doesn't mean
life isn't sometimes hard.
‘I'm
just what I am. I work on what I am. Right now, I think, things are
good for me. I've done a lot. And I don't care anymore.'
While Cameron has enjoyed numerous high-profile romances in the past, Benji has also had his fair share of famous girlfriends.
