The British comic met China Chow through mutual friends in Los Angeles last year and sources say they are now “inseparable”.

Coogan, 42, is reportedly planning to pop the question to 33-year-old Chow, who is the daughter of the late model and designer Tina Chow and restaurateur Michael Chow.

The smitten couple have even been talking about having children together. A source told the Daily Mail: “Steve is ready to settle down. He’s absolutely smitten and hasn’t even looked twice at another girl in months. Since he met China, he has really tamed his partying and becomemore focused than ever on being a comedy star in the US.

“She’s been a wonderful influence. He’s done with the hard living and distractions. He’s talked about having children with China and has dropped some heavy hints that he plans to propose very soon.”

Steve was previously married to socialite Caroline Hickman and has a nine-year-old daughter from a previous relationship.

He has a reputation as a serial womaniser and briefly had a wild relationship with Courtney Love, the widow of Nirvana rocker Kurt Cobain
