Jennifer Love Hewitt has given her latest boyfriend Jamie Kennedy an engagement ultimatum - she wants a ring on her finger by June next year or they will have "a situation."

The actress has been dating her Ghost Whisperer co-star since December after calling off her marriage to fiancé Ross McCall. But the star has not been put off by her broken engagement and is ready to commit to a future with Kennedy.

The couple sparked reports of an impending wedding at the end of last month when they were spotted jewelry shopping together. Hewitt has dismissed the claims - but admits questions about their future together has put Kennedy on the spot.

She says, "A rumor has come out that Jamie and I supposedly got engaged. The poor guy was on fire. He was like, 'No, no, no. That's not true!' I was like, 'God, would that be the worst thing in the world?!'"

And Hewitt admits she's set a deadline to determine whether the relationship will last: "By this time next year, if we're not planning something, then there's a situation."
