Though tabloids reported in early January that Martinez, 46, had proposed, neither party confirmed that they were set to wed.

The rumours were furthered when Berry, 45, filed a court petition in February to relocate her three-year-old daughter - whose father is Berry's ex-boyfriend Gabriel Aubry - to France.
