Speculation about Olivier Martinez and Halle Berry‘s engagement have been swirling for weeks now, but  those are rumors no more.  Martinez confirmed the couple’s happy news at the opening of his swank new Miami restaurant Villa Azur.   He put is simply:

“Yes, of course it’s true.”

What is evidently not true is the claim by jeweler Gurhan that they were responsible for Berry’s stunning emerald engagement ring.   Martinez cleared that right up:

“There’s a jeweler taking credit for doing the ring and it’s a lie! They have nothing to do with this.”

The actual designer, he says, is Paris designer Robert Mazlo.

Official congratulations to the couple!

Actress Halle Berry was tapped to present at tonight’s 84th Annual Academy Awards ceremony in Los Angeles however she has cancelled her appearance.

Berry was scheduled to be a presenter with her Cloud Atlas costar, Tom Hanks however, the 45 year-old will not walk the red carpet tonight (or anything else) due to her broken foot. No word if Hanks will present solo now, or a replacement will be added last minute.

The Oscar winner broke her foot back in September while she was on location in Spain. She was chasing her daughter Nahla, who was playing with a goat, when the injury occurred.

Berry won her award in 2002 for her role in the film Monster.

Two of the most gorgeous people on the planet are taking themselves off the singles market.

Halle Berry and Olivier Martinez are reportedly set to tie the knot according to the engagement ring designer.

Berry, 45, and Martinez, 46, met on the set of their film Dark Tides and have been dating for over a year.

Halle, who has two past marriages (baseball player David Justice and singer Eric Benet are her ex-husbands) has told pals she didn’t think she would marry again but Olivier changed her mind.

“Halle has found her true soulmate in Olivier and it’s only a matter of time before they tie the knot,” a friend of the  pair said.

“She’s madly in love and knows she wants to spend the rest of her life with him. Olivier has been the rock that Halle has never had in any of her relationships.”

Berry has a daughter, Nahla Rose, with her former boyfriend of 5 years, model Gabriel Aubry with whom she shares custody.

Olivier has dated Mira Sorvino and Rosie Huntington-Whiteley. He was also singer Kylie Minogue‘s boyfriend while she underwent treatment for breast cancer.

A reported October wedding is in the works for the couple.

Halle Berry picked up her so darn adorable daughter, Nahla, from school and the two headed off to the park for some afternoon fun.

Berry was impossibly gorgeous (why am I surprised every time she looks as stunning as she does?) as little Nahla held her hand walking to the playground in her bright pink pants and sandals. Serious cuteness!

Nahla and her mom shared a blanket with some other families under the shade after the youngsters hit the slide and climbed the jungle gym while mom looked on smiling.

Halle Berry is never anything less than ridiculously sexy, but it seems that 2011 has been her year to totally steam up the red carpet.  Halle wore a one-shouldered dress by Halston for the Fifi Awards – the so-called Oscars of the fragrance industry.   Normally, I would dislike a dress like this – it reminds me of the Flintstones for some reason, and I usually find navel-baring cut-outs a little too obvious.  But consider the wearer:  Halle makes everything look great.

Oh yeah, she also won a Fifi award.  Her third fragrance, Reveal, took home the Celebrity Fragrance Of The Year prize.  Halle said:

“I truly believe that fragrance makes women feel beautiful and confident.  For years I have created my own personal scents by mixing and layering fragrances, trying to come up with something unique and different. It’s a wonderful form of self-expression and I am thrilled to share these fragrances with consumers worldwide.”
