Jennifer Love Hewitt looks pretty amazing after losing nearly 20 pounds and a lot of people assumed that her motivation was her upcoming wedding day. Earlier stories had the 29 year-old actress marrying her fiance, 32 year-old actor Ross McCall, in a small ceremony sometime this summer. Her wedding could be on hold, though, reports In Touch, which quotes an insider saying that “things aren’t great between them.” They usually look incredibly happy and in synch with each other, and if it is true that their wedding has been pushed back I would bet there’s another reason, like logistics:

“Things aren’t great between them,” the insider says of the couple, who got engaged last November.

“It’s hard because he’s filming in New Mexico and she’s in LA. The relationship is strained and their wedding won’t happen anytime soon.” While Jennifer has revealed that this summer is out – “I won’t be a sweaty bride,” she has said – another friend insists that everything’s fine. “Jennifer and Ross are very excited,” says the pal. “It will be an intimate ceremony and Ross is having fun helping Jennifer plan it.” Adds her rep, “The wedding is going ahead as planned.”

Love Hewitt told reporters in February that her wedding would be “small and private and romantic and wonderful,” and that she might just get married on a whim. “If we kind of wake up and say, ‘Let’s go do it,’ that’s how we will do it.”

I doubt these two are having problems, but if they are it’s probably the things we all go through when we have to be apart from our partner. They’re together now despite their busy woek schedules. The two were photographed out in LA wearing lookalike outfits on Tuesday. It’s hard to judge people in photos, but there’s a quality to McCall that makes him look like an incredibly good guy and I get the impression he’ll make a great husband and dad someday. Love Hewitt is also one of the most genuine and likeable celebrities and it’s nice to see her happy and in love. I’m crossing my fingers for these two to make it official because they’re one of my favorite celebrity couples.
