They filed divorce papers in October after just two-years of marriage.

But despite citing irreconcilable differences as a motive for their abrupt separation, Halle Berry, 50, and estranged husband Olivier Martinez, also 50, are reportedly in no hurry to finalise proceedings.

TMZ claim leaked legal documents reveal the former couple are yet to make further steps in a bid to end their marriage, 11-months after separating.

The website alleges that a court clerk has issued Halle and Olivier with a warning that failure to take further action will result in the case being dismissed.

Sources close to the couple claim they are happy to remain married for the sake of son Maceo, two, and Halle’s eight-year old daughter Nahla – the Oscar winner's only child with her former partner, French-Canadian model Gabriel Aubry. 

The fresh claims follow recent reports that Olivier 'never wanted the divorce and still doesn't.'

'If Halle wants to call it [divorce] off, Olivier would be fine with it because he never wanted the divorce in the first place,' a source told the magazine.

'To get a divorce and share custody of Maceo is not a situation that Olivier wants to be in, adding that 'he also wants to be around Nahla like before. He cares about Nahla like if she were his own.' 

The source added: 'The divorce is still being finalized, and there is no change for now. But there seems there might be a slim chance that they decide to stay married. There is still a lot of love between them.'

Halle and Olivier certainly looked close during a family holiday with their children in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico, in March.

Just five months after separating the actress was seen lounging next to the French actor with her hand on his bare chest and right over his heart, a soft smile forming on her face while he gazed back at her adoringly. 

MailOnline has contacted Halle and Olivier's representatives for further comment.
