Halle Berry’s foot is back in a splint following an incident last year.

The actress broke her foot while filming Cloud Atlas in Mallorca, Spain last September and at the time it was reported she heard a crack after taking a bad step while out walking.

Although the injury was thought to have healed, it seems it didn't completely mend as Berry was spotted wearing protective gear again while on the school run this morning.

The 45-year-old stepped out in one espadrille-style shoe on the left foot and fashioned a large black plastic splint on the right.

Teaming the look with long-sleeved white top, cropped trousers and aviator sunglasses, the star opted for the casual look as she drove her three-year-old daughter, Nahla, to school in West Hollywood.

The pixie-haired starlet appeared to be struggling as she led the way for her adorable daughter – who donned a pink top with floral embellishments and styled her hair in cute pigtails.

Ouch! Berry looked as though she was struggling as she held her daughter and carried a bag

As she held on to a cuddly toy and her mother carried a small butterfly print bag, Halle flashed a ring thought to be one given to her by partner Olivier Martinez, also 45.

Reports suggest the Gothika actress could be taking the plunge and getting married for the third time as she flaunts a gold ring with a large emerald gemstone in the centre on her wedding finger.

It is not the first time rumours have circulated that the couple have become engaged.

Is she getting married? Berry was wearing what is thought to be her engagement ring from Olivier Martinez

In January 2011 it was claimed they had agreed to tie the knot after she was spotted wearing a ring on her engagement finger, but it turned out to be a false alarm.

It would not be the first time Olivier will have been close to marriage either, though the 45-year-old has never wed.

He was rumoured to be close to marrying his ex Kylie Minogue, who he dated for over four years.

Halle has said previously she was through with marriage following her devastating divorces from David Justice and Eric Benet.

Later on in the day her ex and Nahla’s father, Gabriel Aubrey, literally picked her up from The Doheny School.

The French-Canadian model, 36, – who has donned clothes for Next, Gianni Versace and Calvin Klein – swooped up his little one up in his arms and she clearly adores her doting father.

Meanwhile, Berry’s ex-husband Eric Benet and his wife of five months have welcomed their first child into the world.

Manuela Testonlini gave birth to Lucia Bella Testolini Jordan on December 21 in Los Angeles.
