A few years ago, Rosie Huntington-Whiteley became a household name due to her rising status as a Victoria’s Secret Angel and her role in Transformers 3. At that point the tabloids took notice of her status as the girlfriend of British action star Jason Statham. In December, the tabloids started pushing for Jason and Rosie to take the next step from their then-year-long relationship, and we covered some stories that said Rosie was threatening to dump Jason if he didn’t put a ring on it. Who really knows if those tales were true, but now it seems like Jason is coming around to the idea of marriage on his own terms. Us Weekly has published an exclusive story that says Jason is planning to propose to Rosie in the very near future, so I guess they’ve spoiled the surprise. Here are the details:
After more than three years of dating, Jason Statham is ready to take the next step with girlfriend Rosie Huntington-Whiteley. “I hear he’ll propose soon,” an insider reveals in the July 8 issue of Us Weekly. Adds a pal, “Their connection is very serious and physical.”
The Redemption actor, 45, and the supermodel, 26, even have a saucy tradition to spice up red carpet duties. “Jason and I make each other laugh whispering in each other’s ears,” Huntington-Whiteley recently told Net-a-Porter’s The Edit. “You know, naughty stuff.”
Though Statham is 19 years her senior, Huntington-Whiteley isn’t bothered about their age difference. “I’m not interested in hanging out with boys,” she explained. “I have all the man I need.”
In addition to planning a proposal, Statham is gearing up for the release of his latest thriller, Homefront, costarring Kate Bosworth, James Franco, Winona Ryder. Huntington-Whiteley, meanwhile, next appears in the movie Mad Max: Fury Road, costarring Charlize Theron, Tom Hardy, Zoe Kravitz, Nicholas Hoult and Riley Keough.

I’ll admit to finding Rosie to be slightly grating when she was promoting Transformers and fronting like she was going to take the acting world by storm with all of her “offers on the table“. But she seems to have toned it down quite a bit lately, so I’ll give her a pass because I think working for Michael Bay must breed some sort of verbal diarrhea in the young actresses that he “mentors.”
At any rate, Rosie and Jason really do seem very in tune with each other, and I hope he does propose. I also hope that he manages to make the proposal a bit of a surprise even if Rosie has probably already caught wind of the Us story. Oops.

She is so vapid it’s unbelievable.
Is she as dumb as she looks? I know nothing about her except she’s pretty. 20 years difference is a nightmare when the wife hits 50 but they’ll never last that long anyway.
Big fat yes!
They are a very handsome couple.
I think so too. It’s the contrast in their looks I think that makes them visually pleasing.
That said, he’s too old for her. 19 years is a big gap. Glad that people are throwing shade at Jason albeit it’s not as bad as what Leo gets.
It’s bc Statham committed and has been all nice and couple-y, while Leo picks a new VS starlet out of a bag every week or so.
He’s not as big a star as Leo, but yes he seems more mature. There was a story recently in the NY Post about Jason looking cosy with a bunch of model types at a bar, however.
They are living two of the biggest hollywood cliches, 1st the may/december relationship and 2nd the actor/model thing.But I honestly want them to work.
He could be dating half the “aspiring” models, c list tv stars, and waitress in hollywood *cough cough Clooney, Leo, & Cooper*. But he’s not.
She could be dating the current “it” actor, rocker,or comedian. But she’s not.
They both have decent careers in their respected field and they don’t whore out their relationship for publicity.
And I’m down for the May/December thing.
She looks young in some picture, but on average I would think she was 22-25 and he 30-35. I think they look good together.
They look like father and daughter to me, it’s hard to wrap my head around the fact that they’re a couple.
I know, I thought that in a couple of the photos. She’s looks very young in some of them.
No where but the weird world of Hollywood would these two be considered a couple. They look like father daughter. And I say that even as a Jason Statham fan. She seems vapid, maybe there is a great personality and intellect in there but it doesn’t come forth in the reporting about her. They just seem terribly mismatched without any real connection beyond arm candy and older man with connections helping younger beauty with ambition. Methinks someone is bearding someone here……….
+1 totally agreed.
she just annoys me. I’ve seen manniquins with more life and soul than her.
I hope they do get married, because Jason will need someone to wheel him around in his old age.
Irrelevant but: she has an amazing sense of style. I want all of her clothes!
I’m not completely convinced that they are NOT cyborgs
Ah Jason, you’re a bigger cliche than the characters you play in those God-awful action films.
20 year age diff and his “action” career can only be on the down side now – don’t do it girl, unless you’re just in it for half his $.
Am i the only one who doesn’t think Rosie is all that amazing looking? She has an amazing figure but her face is all kinds of smushed. I honestly was confused the first time i read that she was a supermodel.
To me, she looks like a dull, stiff mannequin. As though she has been pulled from a store front, on the basis that she has the semblence of “modellish” looks. The sad thing is, one would probably get better conversation/and or animation out of the mannequin itself.
Oh why not….It will last for a period of time and be pretty good for a while. What more can you ask out of life? If it fizzles, you move on.
LOL. Rosie Huntington-Whiteley-Statham. That’s ridiculous.
Anyway, I feel her on preferring a man to a boy, especially at her age. I couldn’t possibly date a 20-something when I was 26. The thing that’s funny is that this position is usually reserved for more mature and…smarter girls.
I’m in the minority here, but I always consider them a real, like REAL, couple. I didn’t even know they have big age difference. 19 years is a quite large, but it looks like it works for them.
He’s as gay as they come, she shows up for a photo op and they go their own ways. Run Rosie run!
Rosie’s posture is phenomenal. She makes everything look better with that posture. MUST. SIT. UP. STRAIGHT.
