Twice-married Silence Of The Lambs star Anthony Hopkins once said he was "never much of a husband", but it looks like he may have had a change of heart.

According to British newspaper the Daily Mail, the Welsh-born actor has decided to tie the knot for the third time, planning a March wedding to his girlfriend Stella Arroyave.

Sir Anthony has been stepping out with the 46-year-old former antiques dealer for the past 18 months, but went public with the relationship just last June. Friends close to the couple say the famously fickle actor has found a good match. "I have never seen him more relaxed than with Stella," says an insider.

While Stella has never been married, Sir Anthony has had a string of high-profile romances and the end of his 29-year marriage to former wife Jenni last year made headline news. The couple had lived separate lives for years – in fact, the Oscar-winning star even stepped out with other women during the marriage. "My wife knows," he said in 2000. "We have an understanding. She is fully aware that I am a reckless wanderer."
