Halle Berry is engaged to Olivier Martinez, various media outlets confirm just days after rumor broke that she might have a special announcement to make about a certain ring on her engagement finger.

Right after New Year's Eve, Halle was photographed by paparazzi rocking a massive, new ring on her finger, sending the rumor mill into overdrive.

Even though she's always said she didn't want to give marriage another (third) try, she has had a change of heart ever since she started dating Olivier Martinez.

Both Us Weekly and Radar Online confirm the happy news, though they don't have it straight from the actress' publicist.

“Third time’s the charm for Halle Berry! The 45-year-old actress and Olivier Martinez are engaged, a source confirms […]. Over the holidays, Martinez, 46, proposed with an emerald-and-diamond ring from Gurhan,” Us Weekly writes.

However, it's a known fact that such vague “confirmations” usually precede the official statement from a publicist – so, for the time being, it should suffice.

Radar Online also says that Martinez finally popped the question and even goes farther than that, saying that Halle is also dying to have his baby, wherefrom her decision to marry again.

“Halle is very serious about this marriage. She’s ready,” an unnamed source says for Radar.

“Olivier has become her rock. Halle feels Olivier has made a connection and a commitment to her and her daughter,” adds another spy.

Halle and Olivier are also thinking about expanding their family with another child.

“Halle would love to have more kids, but she knows it might be difficult because of her age and the fact that she’s diabetic,” the tipster notes.

“If they can’t conceive, they’d definitely consider adoption. Deciding to marry again is huge for Halle. But friends have never seen her this happy and fulfilled,” the spy further says.

As noted above, as of this moment, neither Halle nor Olivier has said anything via the official channels. Rest assured you'll find out about it here when they do.

Can't we just be happy for them?! So many haters out there. And, it appears more so for Halle, who, we don't really know. We judge these people by what the media feeds us & from what we've seen & heard her speak about on the talk-show circuit. Their both accustomed to the media limelight & like most of us having been in unhealthy relationships, that shouldn't stop someone from choosing to try it again. I hope this one works for her and, I might add, they are an attractive couple; they are close in age. Culturally, this might be a good change for her; unlike american celebrities, foreign celebrities don't 'appear' to be as uptight & arrogant as american celebs - they 'appear' to be more down to earth. The only difference I see in celebrities vs. us 'normal' folk, their lives are just in the spotlight; average people go in & out of relationships as well. Rich or poor the actions of humans are tied to emotions and all of us want to be loved & accepted for who we are...celebrities are no different, they just have jobs that pay them more money, which, I'm sure adds unforeseen complications for them to deal with...because we are not stars, our break-ups don't get media attention or make tabloid headlines. Probably, if we could afford multiple divorces, we'd probably marry more than we do. Luckily, neither of them are dependent on the other's financial status. Having watched Olivier's acting over the years, I've loved him as a actor and he seems to stay under the media-radar as far as drama goes, which is what she needs. I'm sure if the haters search hard enough, they could probably find a skeleton or 2 in his closet. But, let's let them be. Everyone attacks her about her 'personal' life being privy to all; well, that's not her fault. I'm sure most celebrities would rather not have their personal lives plastered on the front-page. I'm sure Halle would love nothing better than to live a nice quiet lovable life, enjoying her daughter, her man & her work. Isn't that what we'd all like to have? Now, lets stop hating & wish them well.
