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.

This summer, the economy has been fueled by two women: Barbie and Taylor Swift. Barbie is crushing all of her box office competition, and Taylor Swift?s Eras Tour is a $2.2 billion juggernaut, spreading economic boosts to every city on the tour schedule. I would also argue that Beyonce?s Renaissance Tour has been a huge economic boost, but this post is about Tay-tay. Time Magazine did an interesting analysis of why the Eras Tour has been Taylor?s most successful tours yet, and she already had a great touring history.
While there?s much to say about the music, costumes, and production, the impact of the Eras Tour is starkly reflected in the numbers: a projected gross of $2.2 billion in North American ticket sales alone, and hundreds of millions of streams, reaching a nearly 80% spike in those listening to her music catalog in the weeks after the tour kicked off.
Swift?s tour is in a league of its own, even among legendary groups like the Rolling Stones who have been touring for decades, other major touring artists like Harry Styles and Beyonc and contemporaries like Adele with sold-out Las Vegas residencies, as the singer-songwriter brings her mega tour directly to her dedicated fans in various cities for multiple nights.
The reasons behind the Eras Tours unmatched success are many. Nora Princiotti, staff writer at The Ringer and co-host of the podcast of Every Single Album: Taylor Swift, attributes part of the tour?s success to the sheer depth and popularity of Swift?s music catalog. ?I dont know that anybody envisioned a tour of this scale ever happening. She can go three and a half hours and just hit after hit after hit,? says Princiotti.
There?s also the timing: The tour has become the perfect outing for concert-goers itching for a post-pandemic live music immersive experience. ?We are in an experience economy where people crave going out and participating in social events,? says Alice Enders, a music industry analyst at Enders Analysis and a former senior economist at the World Trade Organization. ?Its no surprise that people are flocking to this Eras Tour experience in what is increasingly an otherwise digital environment we live in.?

The thing about extremely-online people craving irl experiences is that Taylor gives them BOTH. Taylor gives her online Snake Fam enough content to fuel and engage with a billion internet rumors, memes, videos and conspiracies. Then those same people go to the concerts and make friends and share friendship bracelets. Meanwhile, Taylor is literally too big for the Super Bowl Halftime Show:
Taylor Swift has turned down the chance to perform at the Super Bowl LVII Halftime Show in Las Vegas because she is simply too busy with her current Eras world tour. The 33-year-old singer, who will play several shows at Foro Sol in Mexico this week, has been touring the United States since March of this year but is in no rush to do the legendary musical performance that usually lasts between 12 and 15 minutes.
Taylor doesnt believe that performing at the Super Bowl halftime show in Sin City would be a defining moment for her right now and is very much focused on other projects.
A source close to the Shake It Off hitmaker exclusively tells DailyMail.com: Taylor is busy with her current tour, she has zero time to prepare a Super Bowl show, she will do it eventually, but she is in no rush at all to do it in Vegas or do it in the next couple of years. She knows she is at her peak in her career and each move from this point on is as important as the next. Working on her current tour and recording her old music and working on new music and living life are taking up the majority of her time.
The insider continued: The Super Bowl will be a nice thing to do someday but it is not a defining moment for her right now. She knows she has all the time in the world, and she always reminds her team that Madonna was 53 when she finally did the show herself, so timing is everything. Taylor is well aware of how she wants her career to develop and will do things her way and her way only and will not rush into something she doesnt want to do just to do it and that includes the Super Bowl.
[From The Daily Mail]
Real talk: for years, Taylor Swift avoided the Halftime discussions because she?s sponsored by Coke, and the Halftime show?s longtime sponsor was Pepsi. Now Pepsi is out and Apple is sponsoring the Halftime show? so that?s why there?s speculation that there?s new interest in Taylor. But I think the rest of it is correct, Taylor?s simply too busy right now and she knows that she?ll be asked again.
Here are some pics of Taylor at Jack Antonoff?s wedding last weekend:
