Reports emerged the TV favourite is 'planning to take the relationship to the next level' with the former Miss Sweden - nine months after meeting casually in a supermarket.
The reality star 'has never been happier' after overcoming several challenges with insiders adding the model 'loves him for who he is' - something Arg is finally able to cherish.
'He's totally smitten. He's definitely looking to pop the question and start their future together,' a source told OK! Magazine.
'He has absolutely no doubt that she is the woman he wants to spend the rest of his life with, they are absolutely soulmates, there's no question about it.
'And seeing his good friend Mark Wright and his wife Michelle Keegan so happy and expecting their first baby, it's just a lovely sign to Arg of what his happy future might hold.'
James' representatives replied with 'no comment' when approached by MailOnline.
The star is also ready to settle down and have children.

James and Nicoline revealed that it was love at first sight for the pair after they bumped into each other outside a Spanish supermarket.
And since that fateful meeting, Nicoline moved to the UK and has now moved into Arg's Essex home.
James revealed he was on his way to his gig at Elliott Wright's restaurant in Marbella when Nicoline was walking past in her gym gear.
After summoning up the courage, he asked her out.
Nicole described James as a handsome man with a big smile, before adding that he makes her laugh, and it was these traits that helped cement their relationship.
James and Nicoline went on their first date a week later, where James explained about his past addiction issues and his weight loss, and the couple were so engrossed in one another that they forgot to order anything to eat.
Despite James's confession about his seven-year drug addiction which saw him go through a near-fatal overdose, a hospitalisation and a stint on rehab, the model was unfazed.
The pair had decided to be completely open with each other from the start.
