Halle Berry Engaged to Olivier Martinez: Reports

Olivier Martinez and Halle Berry.

Is Halle Berry engaged to Olivier Martinez? Rumors about Berry and her latest beau have been rattling around since the start of the year, but in an email to ABCNews.com, her publicist said “no comment.”

This morning, Us Weekly reported that the two are en fiance (as the French Martinez might say), citing a source close to the couple who said that he popped the question with an emerald and diamond ring over the holidays. The “Monster’s Ball” actress has recently been photographed with a sparkling bauble on her ring finger.

Berry and Martinez, both 45, have been dating since fall 2010. She’s been married twice, to baseball player David Justice and R&B singer Eric Benet. She had a daughter, Nahla, now 3, with model ex-boyfriend Gabriel Aubry. Her relationships with all of them were troubled — Berry once admitted that she attempted suicide three years after marrying Justice.

Martinez has had his share of high profile paramours. He dated Mira Sorvino, Kylie Minogue and Rosie Huntington-Whiteley before meeting Berry on the set of “Dark Tide,” which comes out this year.

While she seems happy with Martinez, in April, Berry told The Sun’s Garth Pearce that she doesn’t want to get married again.

“I wish I had known then that I was not the marrying kind,” she said. “It would have saved me a lot of time, heartache and grief over the years.” She added, “I have done it twice and I am not going to do it again. The traditional form of marriage is not for me.”

New year, new Halle?

She dumped Gabriel Aubry for Olivier Martinez?? Guess she doesn’t like competition for mirror time.

This won’t last regardless of the “commitment” ring. Halle couldn’t keep her baby daddy around only to rebound to Oliver??? We will hear sooner than later they split!

Halle has some codependent issues cause she ALWAYS has to be with a man. Probably because she didn’t have a daddy. That’s not a good look on her daughter, who’s gonna wonder Who are all these damn men my mother keeps bringing around me? Nahlas gonna grow up just like her mom…with man issues.

Justice beat her, Benet has a “sex addiction” problem and cheated all over the world, Aubrey, she claims, is violent, here’s hoping this one works out for her. The trouble with having a personal life when your in the limelight is that there isn’t such a thing but I hope this one works. I mean, given the average woman…she’s no different. We all kiss frogs trying to find a prince.

If 1 man don’t work out get rid of him. The difference between black women and white women when it come to men. A black women will knock a man out. If he put his hands on her or her kid, he will be the burning bed (you know strike a match). White women put up with being smacked around and allow their husbands to molest their own children. Im a black women, ask any sister.

If a person’s relationships keep ending badly then after a while a person should take inventory of themselves. Yes, Justice may have beat her and Benet’ may have sex issue but I’m sure she knew about their issue before marrying them. Halle has issue period, attempting sucide, a hit and run accident, burning people’s houses down, and aggressively yelling and screaming at her staff. I believe 1) She has to have a man by her side. 2) With the custody court battle she is trying to relocate her child out of the county to get a way from her child’s father.
