Melbourne, December 31 : The gossip mill is spinning with reports that Bradley Cooper has proposed to Zoe Saldana.

The two stars briefly dated earlier this year, only to split after three months.

It's been widely reported that Cooper's mother Gloria loves Zoe and convinced her son to give the relationship a second shot.

The couple are now stronger than ever, with claims the hunky actor popped the question over the festive season.

"Bradley is telling friends he's not going to let Zoe slip away this time," News. com. au quoted an insider as telling National Enquirer.

"Having lost her once, Bradley is ready to seal the deal on the relationship."

Bradley and Zoe have apparently already started planning their special day.

The 37-year-old actor hopes to tie the knot in Philadelphia, where he was born, and would love the ceremony to take place in spring or summer 2013. (ANI)
