Yet to ring the bell

Rumours first began to swirl that the couple were preparing to tie the knot after the she was spotted wearing a huge pear-cut diamond ring as she wandered around New York with Romain, 30, in February. The Avengers star admitted last year she liked being married but hinted that she isn't interested in tying the knot again for quite a while. She said: “I got married when I was young and it was incredibly romantic and I liked being married, actually.”
