There had been rumours over the past few weeks that Halle Berry and Olivier Martinez had gotten engaged after she was seen wearing an emerald ring.
But now the French actor has confirmed that they are indeed planning to tie the knot.
Martinez was at the opening of his new restaurant Villa Azur in South Beach last night when he spoke of the happy news.
‘Yes, of course it’s true,’ the 46-year-old told The Miami Herald proudly.
But Martinez also wanted to dispel a report from a jeweler who had been bragging he had designed the ring for the bride-to-be.
‘There is a jeweler taking credit for doing the ring and it’s a lie,’ he said. ‘They have nothing to do with this.’
The sparkler was actually designed by Robert Mazlo who is a Parisian jeweler based in Saint-Germain-de-Pres.
Martinez said he was a ‘real artist’ who made jeweler for ‘kings and queens for many centuries.’
This will be Halle’s third marriage after failed relationships with former baseball star David Justice and soul singer Eric Benét.
She has a three-year-old daughter, Nahla, with Canadian model Gabriel Aubry although the pair are currently embroiled in a bitter custody dispute. Olivier has grown very close to the little girl and they have often been seen playing together and being affectionate towards each other.
Meanwhile, Olivier has dated a long list of actresses and models including Mira Sorvino, Kylie Minogue and Rosie Huntington-Whiteley.
The pair met while filming their new movie Dark Tide in South Africa in 2010.
