Reps for the two actors have yet to confirm the engagement, but friends and fans are already sending off or tweeting their congratulations.

Who is Olivier Martinez? How did he and Berry start dating? What do friends think of the pair? Will third time be the charm for the unlucky-in-love actress?
Find out all this and more below, with the six things fans of Halle Berry should know about fiance Olivier Martinez. From how the newly-engaged pair started dating to why Berry backed away from claims that she'd "never" marry again, here's a rundown of what to know about French actor Olivier Martinez.
1. Sparks Flew on Set of 'Dark Tide.'
Olivier Martinez and Halle Berry first met in 2010 on the set of "Dark Tide," a shark-attack movie where they starred as the film's lovestruck couple.
The magic on-screen quickly turned into real-life romance: within weeks of wrapping filming, they were a confirmed couple.
Nor is this the first time Martinez has cause sparks to fly on set. In 1994, he met Oscar award-winning actress Juliette Binoche on the set of the movie "The Horseman On the Roof," and he and Binoche began dating during production.
2. Martinez On Good Terms With Exes.
Like fiance Halle Berry, Olivier Martinez has had several high-profile relationships, with exes spanning from actress Mira Sorvino and model Rose Huntington-Whiteley to singer Kylie Minogue.
But while the twice-divorced Berry has had a rocky relationship with her former partners (ex-husband Eric Benét called the end of their relationship "the sinking of the Titanic") Martinez appears to remain close to his exes, or at least have parted with them as amicably as possible.
