Kate Bosworth is "happy and settled" with her new boyfriend. The 29-year-old actress has been dating director Michael Polish for several months and things are going very well for the couple.

"I had my single moment in my life, but ... I'm happily settled now," she said, speaking at the premiere of her latest movie L!fe Happens at AMC Century City 15 in Century City, California, on Monday night.

Kate plays an fiercely independent single woman who falls in love unexpectedly in the film and the blonde beauty believes all anyone is looking for in life is their perfect partner. "I think that's what we all search for, that kind of partner in life," she added to E! News.

Kate was previously in relationships with Orlando Bloom and Alexander Skarsgard before she romanced Michael. The pair met on the set of Big Sur - based on the autobiographical novel of Jack Kerouac - which the actress stars in and Michael directs.
