Yep, Halle Berry's beau Olivier Martinez is officially her fiance!

The French actor, who was in Miami's South Beach for the opening of his restaurant Villa Azur Saturday, confirmed his engagement to the actress, telling Miami.com, "Yes, of course it's true!"

Indeed, Berry's rep also (finally) admitted to E! News that the Oscar winner was betrothed to Martinez.

But about those reports revolving around the ring's designer? Not so much.

"There is a jeweler taking credit for doing the ring and it's a lie!," said Martinez. "They have nothing to do with this."

So who is the real designer behind the emerald-and-yellow-gold sparkler? Olivier revealed the ring's true designer is "real artist" Robert Mazio, a jeweler from his Saint-Germain-des-Prés neighborhood in Paris, whose family has been designing jewelry for "kings and queens for many centuries."

Congrats again to the happy couple!
