Some might say they're moving too fast, but sometimes you have to go with your heart.

That's likely to be the reason behind Carey Mulligan and Marcus Mumford reportedly getting engaged to one another after just five months together.

The couple have been dating since February this year and have been embroiled in a whirlwind romance ever since.

Now, according to The Sun, the twosome have taken things a step further and got engaged to one another.

The report claims that Mumford & Sons singer Marcus, 24, popped the question at the weekend during the couple's stay at Babington House in Somerset.

According to the article Carey, 26, spent her time at the £250-a-night hotel showing guests a new diamond ring.

An onlooker apparently told the newspaper: 'Carey looked like the cat who had got the cream. She was wearing a beautiful ring and didn't seem to mind who saw it.

'They were stuck to each other like glue. She was doing most of the talking and he was hanging on her every word.'

The pair first met when Marcus performed in Nashville, Tennessee - Carey had only split with her ex-boyfriend Shia LaBeouf a few months earlier.

A spy told the Daily Mail in March: ‘Marcus invited Carey to watch him play a secret show in the basement of his friend Mike Harris’s home in Nashville. She sat in the front row and while he was singing Marcus looked down at Carey and she blushed. It was clear they had chemistry.

‘Afterwards they went to the City House restaurant and dined with friends but they sat together and acted like a couple.

‘Carey’s hoping they can spend more time together when Marcus flies back to America next month for a major tour with his band. He’s hired a vintage train instead of a tour bus and has asked Carey to join him for the trip. It’s early days but they seem to enjoy each other’s company.’

Carey joined Marcus for a brief period when he and his group toured the U.S. aboard a vintage train on their Railroad Revival Tour.

In a video shot by a fan in Arizona earlier this year the couple are seen playfully dancing with one another and sharing a kiss behind the scenes of one of the group's concerts, unaware they are being filmed.

In the months since they got together Carey has made trips from New York to the UK to see her beau spending time at his London home.

The Oscar-nominated actress went on something of a dating spree after splitting from her long-term boyfriend Shia LaBeouf, 24, last October.

She enjoyed a fling with Sienna Miller’s new man, actor Tom Sturridge, 25, at the end of last year, and a whirlwind affair with Olivier award-winner Eddie Redmayne, 29, earlier this year.

Marcus split from long-time love, singer Laura Marling, last year.
