Kanye West to propose to Kim Kardashian?

Kanye West could propose to Kim Kardashian this weekend, according to Ryan Seacrest.

The 'Keeping Up With The Kardashians' producer has hinted Kim might be getting more than she bargained for when Kanye whisked her off to Rome on a romantic break with the intent of celebrating her 32nd birthday on October 21.

Discussing whether there is any truth to the rumours that Kim is "demanding an engagement ring" on his KIIS radio show, Ryan told his co-host Ellen K: "I think we could definitely see an update on this story on Monday."

Twice-engaged Kim - who is still in the process of divorcing Kris Humphries - has made no secret of wanting to settle down and start a family, and recently confessed she had finally found her match in Kanye.

The 35-year-old rapper is said to have been searching for the perfect ring to bestow on his "princess" and make their commitment official.

A source told Radar Online: "It's only a matter of time before Kanye pops the question. They are madly in love with one another and as far as Kanye is concerned he wants to spend the rest of his life with Kim.

"It's just a case of making sure the ring is perfect because she's his princess."

The website adds that "no one could be better placed" to know about the proposal since Ryan works very closely with the Kardashian clan on their E! reality show.
