Speaking to Closer magazine, the actress said: “Me and Rob haven’t been together long, but when you fall madly in love with someone, you don’t need to wait five years to take it to the next level. We’ll get married next year – but it won’t be a big celeb wedding, I only want an intimate affair with family and friends.”
Jennifer met Robbie, a semi-pro boxer, on a night out with friends and says she has no fears about this relationship. “Rob would never do anything terrible to me – I’ve got no doubts about that,” she says. “He has changed me as a person. I was so tense before, as Tony left me feeling insecure. But I’m so happy now.”
Jen can’t wait to start a family, she told Closer: “I’d love children. I want three, but I’m busy with work so it’s on hold. Robbie already has seven-year-old twins from a previous relationship. I get on really well with them so that’s a good sign.”

She was born ten days early and weighed a dainty 7lb 30z. Tina was accompanied at the hospital by her husband Oli Wheeler, 38, a PR executive.
Olivia is Tina’s second child, she has another daughter, Isabella, 9, from her first marriage to Steve Wallington.
Speaking exclusively to Hello! magazine, Tina, 37 said: “It was as perfect as it could have been. We had John Lennon’s Working Class Hero playing in the background and everyone was relaxed. She appeared within five minutes and they pulled the screen down so I could see the whole thing.”
“Oli surprised me because he filmed everything. I didn’t think he would be brave enough and expected him to be sitting next to me holding my hand, but he was in the thick of it, which was great because now we have fantastic footage of a very special moment.”
Holby City actress Tina will return to work just six weeks after giving birth. She explained: “It’s just the way it happened. I went off in January due to storylines, so I suppose I had my maternity leave before she was born. It will be tough going back, because the hours are 7am to 7pm, five days a week. But I am looking forward to it too.”
“I want to go back and show that I can do it all: that I can be a mother of two, do these hours and handle more dramatic storylines.”

Emmerdale producers have insisted that they are "confident" about how the soap will perform when it goes head-to-head with EastEnders on Tuesday nights.ITV have changed the Winter schedule which means Emmerdale's Tuesday night episode will be a one-hour special and no episode on Sundays..
The move means that the second half of Emmerdale's Tuesday episode will clash with EastEnders when the BBC One soap begins at 7.30pm.
Emmerdale and EastEnders have gone head-to-head 30 times since 2004 Emmerdale has picked up more viewers in 26 of the battles. Producers are convinced that the soap can maintain its success this year.
"The scheduling has been decided by ITV and has nothing to do with the people at Emmerdale," a spokesman for the soap told the Daily Star Sunday. "But we are confident we can keep up our good record against EastEnders.
"Each hour-long episode on Tuesday will be specially written and won't be two half-hour ones put together."
