Russell Crowe has triggered rumours he is set to tie the knot with his girlfriend Britney Theriot in an Italian wedding ceremony.
The Australian actor, 60, sparked speculation that he and Britney, 31, were engaged earlier this year when she was seen sporting a huge diamond ring.
Now, claims are circulating that they are eyeing up an Italian wedding after reportedly visiting a church during their latest visit to Rome.
The couple, who started dating in 2020, visited the Italian capital last month when Russell performed with his band The Gentlemen Barbers at the Forum Theatre.
They were spotted sightseeing during their lavish getaway and reportedly visited a church in the city, sparking speculation they are gearing up for an Italian wedding.
‘Italy was always going to be their wedding destination. Every time they go there, they come back more in love,’ an insider told Woman’s Day.
‘It’s always been their dream to get married there.’
Russell and Britney frequently visit Italy together and first sparked engagement rumours during a trip to the European country earlier this year.

In February, Britney was seen wearing a dazzling diamond band on her ring finger as they visited at the Ariston Theatre in Sanremo.
They were visiting the Italian Riviera for Russell’s gig at the Sanremo Music Festival with his band, who frequently perform at venues across Italy.

Russell is believed to have first met former actress Britney on the set of his 2013 film Broken City, but they did not start dating until many years later.
The pair then confirmed their long-rumoured romance with a kiss on a tennis court in November 2020.
The couple are regularly seen jetting between Sydney and Coffs Harbour, where Russell is building a $400million film studio dubbed ‘Aussiewood’.
The Beautiful Mind star owns a 400hectare farm in nearby Nana Glen, and divides his time between this rural estate and his home in Sydney.
Russell was previously married to Australian actress Danielle, 55, having tied the knot in April 2003 during a ceremony at his farm in Nana Glen.

The couple welcomed two sons together but went their separate ways in 2012 and finalised their divorce six years later.
Despite their high-profile split, Danielle previously told Stellar magazine the couple are still friends and see one another as ‘family’.
‘We have a lot of respect for each other and I consider him to be a member of my family,’ she said.
‘The marriage ended, but that didn’t mean our friendship ended. We’ve had holidays together in the past and we can happily sit down and chat.’
