Reports show that Ashton and Mila may finally be engaged. Mila sparked the rumor mill by appearing in Los Angeles yesterday donning a simple gold band on her special finger. There is no conformation, but sources close to the couple say that Ashton has been thinking about it for a long time now.

“He knows what they have is amazing and special,” a source in Ashton’s inner circle said. “He’s been thinking about proposing for a long time.”

Another source noted that the engagement wouldn’t be much of a change for the couple after dating for so long, he says,
“They are clearly very much in love, in tune with each other and so comfortable,” the source noted. “In some ways, it’s like they’re married already.”

Kunis, who turned 30 on August 14th, and Kutcher, 35, first started dating in April 2012, and have been tight-lipped on their relationship ever since. Most recently, the pair spent some time with Kutcher’s parents in London in May. The next month, they were caught kissing during a vacation with Princess Beatrice and her boyfriend Dave Clark in Saint Tropez, France.

However, if the knot is going to be tied, Ashton still has some loose ends to clean up. He is still trudging through his divorce from Demi Moore, and the two are reportedly fighting over the small fortune Ashton has made through technology investments, which include Spotify and Foursquare.

Ashton Kutcher has changed a lot since divorcing Demi, friends say. When he first became single he was content playing the field, but as his friendship with his former co-star of That ’70s Show grew, Ashton seemed ready to settle down again.

I won’t believe it ’til the social media-obsessed Kutcher tweets it…
