Saturday Night Live funnyman Jason Sudeikis is definitely serious about his relationship with actress Olivia Wilde. The actor proposed to Wilde shortly after the holidays, PEOPLE has learned exclusively.

“They are so excited,” says a source close to both. “And very, very happy.”

Sudeikis, 37, and Wilde, 28, who has said she fell “blissfully, hopelessly, wildly in love” with the actor, began dating in November of 2011 and moved in together last year.

The couple has been spotted together everywhere from Lawrence, Kan., to Austin, Texas, and most recently in Rome, where Wilde is filming the drama The Third Person.

No word yet on a wedding date.

Wilde will next be seen in The Incredible Burt Wonderstone in March and Ron Howard’s Rush, out in September.

Meanwhile, Sudeikis has the animated film Epic in May and We’re the Millers, costarring Jennifer Aniston, which hits theaters in August.

The Olivia Wilde and Jason Sudeikis relationship comedy “Relanxious” is moving forward for the Allegiance Theater, with Myriad Pictures distributing internationally and selling the film this week at the AFM.

Brie Larson and Fred Armisen are also attached to star in the film, which was written and is to be directed by Christopher Storer.

The Allegiance Theater’s Daniel Dubiecki along with Myriad’s Kirk D’Amico are producing.

In the film, an anxiety-ridden Barrett (Wilde) meets agoraphobic George (Sudeikis) and the two engage in a courtship over the phone, discussing the dates they would go on if their phobias didn’t stand in the way. As the fantasies develop, the two must decide if they can put aside their fears in order to find real-life romance.

“Through Chris Storer’s highly original script and the wonderful chemistry of Olivia Wilde and Jason Sudeikis we get to go on fantasy dates all over Chicago. It is going to be the perfect way to experience Chicago,” Myriad CEO/President Kirk D’Amico said in a statement.

“The film is Storer’s love letter to his hometown Chicago, and a throwback to classic relationship comedies from greats like James L. Brooks and Cameron Crowe,” Dubiecki said.

Visionary Globe by Olivia Wilde, Designed by Emmanuel Contina

Proceeds will benefit Artists for Peace and Justice

The naïf-style, hand-painted globe, highlighting Haiti in the world, was created by Emmanuel Contina, 27, a Haitian artist who has painted murals at the St. Damien’s Hospital, which Artists for Peace and Justice also supports. Cortina was diagnosed with HIV last year, and his art helps him keep a positive attitude. He also receives treatment at St Damien’s Hospital for his illness. Contina was born in Cité Soleil, the poorest district of Port au Prince. “There are many talented people here, but we have no good government and so no good development,” he says. “I struggle, but I survive.” All funds from the sale of this globe will go to Artists for Peace and Justice and used towards building the next generation of artists and toward the HIV/AIDS program at St Damien’s.
