The ”Fool’’s Gold” actress loves the way her romance with the baseball star has blossomed.

And friends are expecting the couple to announce their engagement in the near future.

“Kate is head over heels for Alex and he feels the same way. As long as things continue to be so great, they will get married. They are practically there already with the shared homes, the children and balancing work,” Contactmusic quoted a source as saying on the FOX 411 blog.

The couple have just moved in together in New York and are taking steps to help their children bond. The couple has been dating since May.

“When I was a teenager, like, when I turned 16, I loved boys. That was just my thing,”  US Weekly  quoted Kate, as telling a magazine. “My mom (Goldie Hawn) was like, Oh boy, she loves boys!” Kate added.

The stunner, who has dated many Hollywood celebrities
, made it public that she was a serial dater and was never without a boyfriend until now.

“First of all, I always had a boyfriend, this is the first time I’ve been single
since I was 16!” Kate said. “I’ve been on so many bad dates, I went on one where I just left because he was so boring. I felt really bad and I didn’t want him to pay for dinner,” Kate added.

Kate revealed that she had her share of dud dates. “It’s like, it’s really nice to meet you – moving on!” she says. “Then you call your friend and you’re like, ‘Really? Really? Is that who you think I would have a great night with?’” Kate added.
