Halle Berry and Olivier Martinez were married for two chaotic years, 2013-2015. They welcomed their son Maceo in late 2013 and it genuinely felt like Olivier wanted to marry Halle so that he could protect his rights over his son. Olivier saw first-hand what Halle tried to do to Gabriel Aubry over their daughter Nahla, and Olivier was like ?that?s not going to happen to me.? And it didn?t. After a few weeks of back-and-forth accusations and drama in 2015, they managed to keep everything pretty quiet. I don?t even remember the last time I heard one thing about or from Olivier. Well, as it turns out, it?s taken them this long to work out the exact terms of their divorce. Like so many celebrity couples, Halle and Olivier bifurcated their divorce. They were officially ?divorced? in 2016, but it?s taken them eight-plus years to work out the custodial issues, child support and more. Well, everything was just completed.
Halle Berrys long road to finalizing her divorce to Olivier Martinez is officially over ? after the ex-couple hammered out a formal custody and child support arrangement that has the actress paying big bucks.
Heres the deal ? back in 2015, Halle and Olivier split after 2 years of marriage. The exes have one child, 9-year-old Maceo. They had a prenup, but the case still dragged on for years because there were some unresolved issues on custody and child support.
Fast forward to August 2023 Legal docs were filed in L.A. County Superior Court, which officially tied up the remaining loose ends on these issues. According to the new court docs, Halle and Olivier agreed to joint legal and physical custody of Maceo. The docs also say Maceo will attend individual and family counseling. Halle and her daughter, Nahla, (from her ex-boyfriend Gabriel Aubry), can sit in during the family sessions. But Halle?s current boyfriend, Van Hunt, is not allowed to participate.
Halle will have custody of Maceo Monday to Wednesday and Olivier will get him Wednesday to Friday, with some variations due to school closures. The pair will alternate custody of Maceo on the weekends.
As for child support, Halle has to pony up $8,000 a month to Olivier. She will also pay an additional 4.3 percent of all income she receives above $2 million.
It doesn?t stop there ? Halle must also cover Maceos private school tuition and 100 percent of his extracurricular activities, including soccer. Shes also on the hook for Maceos health insurance both medical and dental as well as any uninsured expenses.

I mean, Olivier comes across as profoundly jobless, but then again, Halle was always the breadwinner in their relationship and I don?t think $8,000 a month is too egregious given her net worth and income potential. It?s taken them eight years to come up with this Halle paying Olivier less than $100K a year in child support, plus she?s paying for all of Maceo?s school costs. Olivier didn?t take her to the cleaners and he seemingly kept it all about Maceo?s best interests. Good for him, I hope.
Anyway, I enjoyed looking at these old photos of Halle and Olivier. They were a total smokeshow for that brief moment they were in love. Like, you KNOW the sex was mind-blowing.

Halle Berry has had quite a great year. Not only has Halle found love, her career seems to be soaring as well. Halle made her directorial debut with Netflixs Bruised this month which was Netflixs number one film of the week domestically. Bruised received over 47 million views in its first five days and also claimed the number one spot in 21 countries. Halle has now signed a multi picture deal with Netflix. Scott Stuber, Netflixs Head of Global Film, said that theyre looking forward to working with Halle because of her prolific career. Below are a few more highlights from Deadline:
The announcement comes one week after Netflix?s global release of her feature directorial debut, Bruised, which quickly landed the streamer?s #1 film of the week slot in the U.S., and has charted at #2 on its Top 10 Global English Film List. Bruised hit #1 in a total of 21 countries, and was watched for 47.7M hours in its first five days.
?My directorial debut, Bruised, was a labor of love and I knew that Scott [Stuber] and Ted [Sarandos] would treat it with great care,? said Berry. ?The Netflix team has not only been collaborative and creative, but extremely passionate and a delight to work with. I am beyond grateful for the partnership and look forward to telling more stories together.?
?There are few people with a career like Halle Berry. She?s an award winning actress, producer and as audiences saw this past week, she?s an incredible director,? added Stuber, who serves as Head of Global Film at Netflix. ?We?re thrilled to be in her corner as she delivers power in front of and behind the camera in Bruised and look forward to telling more stories together.?
Outside of her new deal with Netflix, Berry will soon be seen in two upcoming features from the streamer, including writer-director Matt Charman?s sci-fi pic The Mothership?which she is also exec producing?and the action film Our Man From Jersey, in which she stars alongside Mark Wahlberg.

I am so excited for Halle, truly. When she was on Tamron Hall last week, Halle said that it is time for Black women to take their rightful place in Hollywood. It would seem that Halle will be at the forefront of that movement. As much as Halle has irked me over the years, when it comes to her art, I believe that she is sincere. I think with this deal with Netflix that Halle will bring us stories about women and Black lives that would definitely be uplifting. I havent seen Bruised yet as I have been traveling but from the trailer and the few scenes I have seen, I believe that Halle will excel as a director. Halle has had a prolific acting career and I believe there is a depth to her that has yet to be expressed. I hope that this new journey will take Halles career to new heights. As Deadline mentioned Halle will also be in a couple of upcoming films for Netflix (one she is exec-producing) and I am sure they will give us an idea of what to expect. I am definitely looking forward to seeing what comes out of Halles partnership with Netflix.

Working while injured has become a badge of honor it seems in Hollywood. Tom Cruise continued acting after breaking his ankle while filming Mission Impossible: Fallout. Halle Berry broke two ribs while filming John Wick 3 which forced production to shut down for eight weeks while she recovered. Halle learned from that experience and not in a good way in my opinion. Halle recently stated that she broke two different ribs on the first day shooting her newest movie and directorial debut, Bruised (out tomorrow on Netflix). Halle told USA today that after this happened she didn?t tell anyone because she didn?t want to be responsible for shutting down production. Instead, Halle continued to film fight scenes for three more days without complaint.
?I knew if I told (producers) this happened, they would shut down and I would probably lose my funding. I just willed myself to do it,? she says. ?I took a bunch of Advil and I just acted as if it wasnt happening.?
Six-time UFC champ Shevchenko, who plays Lady Killer in the film, remembers it similarly. ?Every single take you have to do with your full power, full speed,? the fighter recalls, noting the bruises that audiences see on their bodies are real. ?You could tell something happened.?
Berry, 55, who had trained relentlessly in judo, taekwondo and Muay Thai for more than two years, also knew what delays cost: Making 2019?s ?John Wick 3,? production shut down for eight weeks when she broke her ribs.
After Lively moved on, Berry and screenwriter Michelle Rosenfarb re-envisioned the character as a has-been, middle-age fighter and absentee mother on a quest for redemption. When she couldn?t find the right director, Berry put herself up for the job.
?I felt like I was at a point in my career where I had to bet on myself,? she says. ?I had to make it happen.?
Onscreen for much of ?Bruised,? Berry?s famous bone structure is disfigured under bulging black eyes, blood or both. She loved it.
?Especially being me and people always commented on how I look, it was so liberating to wake up every day and the more (expletive) up I looked, the better it was going to be for the days work,? she says.
[From USA Today]
I know for some that this is a flex but I don?t believe that it is. In a way it?s sad that she felt she had to do this to keep her investors for her directorial debut. I believe no matter the job, my priority must always be my health. Not to mention it?s also dangerous. What if Tom got a traveling blood clot from breaking his ankle or if Halle bruised some organs without knowing it? When actors injure themselves they should tell someone. At the same time, it is also insane that Halle was able to work through that much pain. The injury may have helped inform her character because MMA fighters are constantly breaking things and sustaining injuries. Halle got the opportunity to fully experience what MMA fighters go through. Anyways, I hope Halle has spent time to allow her body to heal. I am glad she didn?t sustain anything worse.

Halle Berry and her new beau, musician Van Hunt, went Instagram official back in September 2020. The have since been gushing about each other every chance they get. Halle is profiled in Womens Health. She said that she is madly in love and wishes she had found Van earlier so she could love him longer. Halle also told People TV last month that Van created the title song for her new movie, Bruised, and that he was supportive of her directorial debut. Below are a few highlights via People:
I wish I had met him sooner so I could have loved him longer. I just feel fulfilled. I feel happy in my life romantically, as a mother, as an artist, said Berry. Im a much better mother in this circumstance than I would have been had I stayed in a romantic relationship that didnt serve me and didnt make me feel the way I need to feel as a woman.
Speaking to PEOPLE (the TV Show!) special correspondent Adrianna Costa last month, Berry said her boyfriend was by her side while making Bruised, a film about a retired MMA fighter who is pushed to get back in the ring when her young son re-enters her life.
I had a lot of support. ? [Hunt] was a big part of that, she said at the time. He did some music for the movie. He actually wrote the title song.
When asked by Extra last month if she and her partner are madly in love, Berry replied, We are, before adding, Sometimes you have to wait for things in life. I waited patiently ? well, maybe not patiently, but I waited.
[From People]
I am truly happy for Halles new found love. However, I will always be concerned about someone who seems to fall into patterns like Halle does. I hope that Van is a good guy and that she has grown enough to recognize when someone isnt good for her. I also hope each of them have autonomy in this relationship. It is super sweet that Van was on set with Halle while she filmed and that he wrote the title song. They seem to genuinely support one another. Heres to a great directorial debut for Halle. Her film Bruised is currently at 70% on Rotten Tomatoes which isnt too shabby. And good luck to Halle and Van. Halle is right, sometimes being patient and waiting for the right one to come along works out in the end.

Back in October folks began tweeting about Halle Berrys turn as Catwoman. Catwoman was on peoples minds because the trailers and stills were coming out for the new Batman movie starring Robert Pattinson as Batman and Zoe Kravitz as Catwoman. Halle Berrys 2004 Catwoman bombed at the box office, with Halle graciously accepting four Razzie Awards in person that year. Critics blamed Halles performance for the failure of the movie.
This week Halle stopped by the Jimmy Kimmel show to promote her film Bruised, which she directed and stars in. Jimmy brought up the tweet that she sent out about receiving Catwoman love. Halle said that even though so many people were disappointed with the Catwoman movie, she knows she worked hard and thats not on her. Halle went on to say that shed love to do Catwoman again as the director of the film. Below are a few more highlights via Yahoo! and the interview is embedded below the post:
?I worked really hard to be a Catwoman. I learned capoeira. I did the work,? Berry said. ?The disheartening part was I didnt direct it, I didnt produce it, nor did I write it. I was just the actress in it. But for all these years I have carried I think, you know, the weight of that film. And whatever success it had or didnt have, somehow it seemed like it was all my fault. But it really wasnt my fault. But Ive been carrying it.?
The conversation started after host Jimmy Kimmel pointed out a Tweet that Berry posted in late October, after she started randomly getting love from people who were discovering, or re-discovering, Catwoman and praising Berry?s performance.
?So when that came up,? Berry said of the random Twitter praise. ?It gave me a chance to sort of like? to stick it back.?
Catwoman was nominated for seven Golden Raspberry ? or Razzie ? Awards, given to the year?s lousiest films. It won four, including Worst Picture and Worst Actress for Berry, and with a Best Actress Oscar already in her possession from 2001?s Monster?s Ball, Berry was a great sport and actually showed up to accept her trophy.

I am not gonna lie, I did not like Halles Catwoman movie but not because of Halle. I loved how Halle mastered the whip. The problem with Catwoman was it was poorly written and produced. Halle had no control over those things and she is right, it is not her fault. I dont think Halle should play those gritty, kickass roles because I feel those are energies that Halle struggles to grasp (hello Storm). Halle makes a great love interest (Boomerang), comedienne (BAPS) and a down on her luck woman (Monsters Ball), but not a heroine or antiheroine. I wonder how well she did as the ex-MMA fighter in her new movie Bruised. It now has a 70% Rotten Tomato critics rating, with people praising Halles directorial debut and performance.
It is interesting that people are looking back at Catwoman 17 years later and making Halle feel better it. Catwoman also gave me my favorite song of 2004, Scandalous by Mis-Teeq. I am not looking forward to seeing Zoe Kravitz in the role despite liking her. The actresses that played Catwoman best at this point are Eartha Kitt and Michelle Pfieffer and you can fight me on that.
I loved it and Gothikapeople were just haters. pic.twitter.com/JFC9wr4yzK

Halle Berry has been quite public with her romance with musician Van Hunt since last September. They have done several interviews, including this sickly sweet one for Entertainment Tonight in March where Van stated that Halle is helping him be a better person. Halle and Van share a lot of loved up photos and Van often refers to Halle as his muse. Halle and Van attended the Elle Women in Hollywood Celebration this week. In an exclusive interview with ET Online, Halle, who has been married three times, said that the right man has finally shown up. Some highlights:
I mean because its my time. It was finally my time and the right one finally showed up, Berry, 55, expressed.
The two looked sensational posing together, with the actress wearing a floral Dundas x Revolve gown, while Hunt rocked a deep purple suit.
Berry revealed she was dating Hunt in September of last year, and hasnt been shy about showing off their love. ET spoke with Hunt in March, where he opened up about how he definitely considers Berry his muse.
Berry has previously been married three times. She and Olivier Martinez were husband and wife from 2013 to 2016. The two share 8-year-old son Maceo. She was also married to Eric Bent from 2001 to 2005 and David Justice from 1993 to 1997. Berry and ex Gabriel Aubry also share 13-year-old daughter Nahla.

So yall know I try my very best not to judge a situation because I am not there to see how these people interact behind the scenes. But as I said before, this relationship is starting to feel like every other relationship Halle has been in. Halle seems to have a pattern. Halle tends to choose men not as famous as she is. The beginning of the relationship is a love fest. Three to four years later, the relationship crashes and burns in a dramatic way and the only side we hear comes from Halles camp.
I want to be optimistic about this new found love Halle has found. I really want it to work out for her and Van, but my spidey senses are definitely tingling. Then again, it aint none of my business (sips tea). I wish Halle the best. I hope she has done the work that would allow this relationship to be healthy for both parties involved. In the mean time, I will continue to follow this relationship because I love love and always want these sort of relationships to work. Also I must admit that Van and Halle look really good together.

I?ll give Halle Berry some credit she was easily one of the ?big moments? of what was otherwise a rather dry Oscar red carpet and ceremony. Halle attended the Oscars as a former winner and presenter, and she wanted to shake things up. She posted this photo about an hour before she arrived on the red carpet, in what would be a preview of her new look:

Last month, Halle Berry made some shady comments about how she doesn?t ?owe? men anything, and there was some conversation about how, actually, California family courts have repeatedly ordered Halle to pay one man, her ex, Gabriel Aubry. I wondered, at the time, why Halle was even referencing the Aubry drama (however obliquely) considering she spent the past five years or so rehabilitating her image after their custody and child support war. As it turns out, that child support issue was on her mind at the time. Halle and Gabriel have updated their child support arrangement now that their daughter Nahla is 13 years old, and presumably now that Halle is making less income too.
Halle Berry has just had her monthly child support owed to her ex, Gabriel Aubry, in support of their 13-year-old daughter, cut in HALF. Sources close to the situation tell The Blast, the X-Men actress and Aubry recently negotiated a settlement in their ongoing child support case, after arguing over the amount.
As of March 1, 2021, Halle Berry will now pay her ex $8,000 a-month. As we reported, Halle was previously ordered to pay Gabriel $16,000 a month in child support. In the ex-couples new agreement, Halle will pay retroactive support Gabriel in the amount of $85,000 and agreed to continue to pay Nahlas private school tuition and health insurance.
In the new agreement, Halle will also pay Gabriel additional child support if her income exceeds 1.95 million in a given year, and she must also contribute $5,000 to Gabriels attorneys fees and costs.
The ex-couple are both represented by high-powered attorneys in the deal. Gabriel is represented by Mark P. Gross of Brot Gross Fishbein, and Halle is represented by Marina Zakiyan of Beck of Elkins Kalt Weintraub Reuben Gartside.
Going forward, Halle and Gabriel agreed to exchange annual income information, which will include complete income and expense declarations, tax returns, and profit and loss statements. The good news, they also have agreed to attempt to settle future disputes through a private judge, to keep this case out of courts.
[From The Blast]
I?m sure Halle is happy that she got the monthly support cut in half, but I?m super-curious about the fact that she has to pay back-support. Did she refuse to pay his support for six months or something? It sounds like it. As much as Halle?s defenders will call this an unqualified win, it?s quite common in family law for there to be updates to the support agreements depending on fluctuations in income. It?s far more likely that Halle gets to pay less to Gabriel these days because she?s simply not making as much money as she used to. Jeremy Renner claimed the same thing in his (still-ongoing) dispute with his ex-wife Sonni Pacheco he went to court to cry poverty and say that he shouldn?t have to pay her so much (reportedly around $30K a month) while he wasn?t working as consistently.

Halle Berry has done a ton of work in recent years to rehabilitate her image after a nasty, years-long custodial and financial dispute with her ex, Gabriel Aubry. It?s still kind of wild to see Halle carrying on like normal, like nothing ever happened and everyone on her timeline yelling ?you go girl? at everything she says and does. It?s bizarre, because in 2012-14, all kinds of accusations were being thrown around like it was just another day. Even back in 2015, Halle was still instigating beefs with Aubry over the court-mandated (and repeatedly reaffirmed) child support payments Halle had to make to Aubry. She just couldn?t get over the fact that she had to pay child support to her ex, and she did everything she could to halt payments, to be a deadbeat, and to even yank the joint custody away from Aubry.
I guess people either forgot about all of that messiness or they just want to forget it. By the end of that years-long debacle, Halle had thrown so much mud, I?m sure people still think Gabriel did something wrong and that Halle was somehow the wronged party, always and forever, because that?s how she always leaves relationships. Anyway, Halle is getting attention this week because she seemingly made a reference to all of this.
Halle Berry is firing back at online trolls who targeted her and her love life. The 54-year-old Oscar winner shared a quote on Instagram Saturday that read, Women dont owe you s?, which received plenty of love from fellow A-listers such as Chrissy Teigen, Vivica A. Fox and Tia Mowry.
One online troll caught Berrys attention when they commented, With all of your accomplishments, fame, beauty, it seems, as if, you CANT keep a man, to which Berry replied with, Who said I wanted to keep them? Im all about living your best life, if you make a wrong move, course correct and re-spin and start again!
Another commenter wrote, Says the women who cant keep a man. Berry responded with, Who says I wanna keep the wrong man? cuz?..I dont.
[From People]
First of all, the Instagram post? it?s funny because the family court judge had to order Halle to pay child support like a million different times, because Halle DID owe a man some sh-t. So I feel like that was a pointed IG. But in general, yes, of course, women don?t owe men sh-t. And ?keeping a man? is such a stupid concept and most men are objectively terrible and all of that. That being said? I still wonder why things went so dead-quiet between Halle and Olivier Martinez. And I do wonder if Halle has just tried to not be so toxic in relationships now or something. Maybe.

When I recently wrote about Olivier Martinez, I was startled to realize that he?s A) still living in LA and B) still maintaining a somewhat friendly relationship with his ex-wife Halle Berry. They split in 2016, although there was some talk about them reconciling. It looks like they simply did the work to co-parent successfully though. They have 6-year-old Maceo together, and Halle is also mom to Nahla, who is 12 years old now. Since her split from Olivier, Halle has been single in the sense that she?s never seen with any dude and there hasn?t been any boyfriend rollout or anything. Halle recently chatted with Lena Waithe for an IG Live session, and Halle spoke about the joy of being single for a while:
Halle Berry is loving the single life. The actress, 53, appeared on an Instagram Live session with her friend Lena Waithe in which Waithe, 35, asked the Oscar winner if she had decided to stay single since her divorce from French actor Olivier Martinez in 2016.
?I?ve learned a lot being with my children. They are the best company for me right now, and when I divorced Maceo?s dad I?ve been pretty alone by myself going on three years now,? Berry told Waithe. ?Decidedly so, for sure. I have decided to take time. I?m very much a relationship-oriented person, I always want to be with someone. But I decided, no I?m going to slow my roll, I?m going to take a minute and I?m going to spent time with me. And it?s been so great that I think I might stay like this!?
When Waithe asked the John Wick: Chapter 3 actress if she knew she?d take a long period of time to be on her own, she said, ?I knew I was going to take at least a year, one full year. One year led to two years and two years is now leading to three years,? she said with a laugh. ?But I?m fine because I think the next relationship I have I think I will have a better chance of attracting and choosing what?s right for me because I?ve taken this time to think about what?s important to me. I no longer feel the need for a relationship so I don?t feel the need to rush or accept something that?s not totally right for me. Not that anything?s wrong with the people I?ve been with but I?m going to wait for my match or I will stay solo and be with my kids and do my life the way I?m doing it.?
Berry also had a piece of advice for Waithe and those who were watching.
?You know what I think the gift is, and this is something that comes with age, the gift of your own company,? Berry said. ?And you can start it by maybe taking a short trip, a weekend trip and seeing how that feels. I promise you, you will start to enjoy that time and being with yourself and your company being the most important company.?
[From People]
Speaking as someone who has always prioritized my alone-time, she?s right. Everybody?s different, obviously, and there are a lot of men and women who ?need? to be in relationships, who need to always be in a constant state of ?in love? or ?looking for love.? That?s how some people are built. And I think for Halle specifically, it was a combination of things. Yes, she truly had a bad picker, but she also seemed to need to make every split as hyper-dramatic as possible. In some ways, she broke that cycle with Olivier. So I?m glad she broke the cycle of ?needing to be in a relationship constantly? too.
