The 44-year-old actress has been dating the 'American Horror Story' writer and producer since August 2014, and she reportedly sees her long-term future with Brad.

A source said: "They speak about marriage all the time and know it'll happen."

The Oscar-winning actress shares two children - Apple, 12, and Moses, 10 - with her ex-husband Chris Martin, but Brad has reportedly already developed a strong relationship with the pair.

The source told Us Weekly magazine: "Her kids love him and think he's the best."

Chris is also a fan of Brad and considers him to be a "good guy".

The insider shared: "Chris totally approves of Brad. He thinks he's a good guy."

And despite the much-discussed collapse of their marriage in 2014, Chris and Gwyneth remain on good terms.

The source explained: "Gwyneth and Chris still have an amazing relationship. She still considers Chris her best friend, and they always do everything together."

But Gwyneth will still have no hesitation in accepting Brad's proposal when he does eventually pop the all-important question.

The insider explained: "He'll do it when the time is right. And when he does, of course she will say yes."

The speculation comes shortly after Gwyneth revealed she feels "liberated from the chains" of other people's opinions.

The actress admitted she is no longer concerned about people's "perceptions" of her, and feels "blessed" to be able to say she doesn't care what people think about her because she "likes herself".

Gwyneth recently said: "It's a blessing to be liberated from the chains of other people's perceptions of you. It's part of wellness, working at that.

"I've gotten to a point where I like myself. I do my best as a person. I also have nothing to hide."
