It's a wrap for Halle and Oliver. The celebrity couple announce separation. |
Berry has a temper. She is bipolar and can be volatile when she's under the influence of alcohol.
I guess it's taken its toll on the two year marriage.
She and her husband, actor Oliver Martinez announced they're splitting up.
The couple met in 2010 and wed in 2013; they had a son together that same year.
They released a joint statement to celebrity agitator People Magazine.
"It is with a heavy heart that we have come to the decision to divorce," the couple says in a statement to People. "We move forward with love and respect for one another and the shared focus of what is best for our son. We wish each other nothing but happiness in life and we hope that you respect our and, most importantly, our children's privacy as we go through this difficult period." Berry, who has a 7-year-old daughter with aforementioned brawler Gabriel Aubry, has been divorced twice before.
However, while Berry asks for no spousal support for either party, and for the costs of raising their child to be shared as per terms of their prenup, Martinez asks for issues of spousal support to be sorted out at a later date. The actress states that all of her earnings and assets are her property per their prenup.
Both are seeking joint custody of their 2-year-old son, Maceo-Robert, but Berry's filing has an attached form about visitation, saying they will "share custody as is in the best interest of the child" but that Martinez should provide transportation to and from visits and need permission to take Maceo out of California.
Berry had planned to raise her two children (she has a daughter, Nahla, from Gabriel Aubry) in Europe, but was never able to make the move because of ongoing custody issues with Nahla's father, Gabriel Aubry. Meanwhile, Martinez "never loved living in L.A. full time," according to a source. "[He] just isn't happy in L.A."
Martinez's temper also allegedly played a role in the split. "He has a violent temper," the source told People this summer. Martinez got into a Thanksgiving brawl with Aubry in 2012, and was caught shoving an LAX employee with a baby seat earlier this year. The employee is now suing the couple for $5 million.
Ultimately, a source tells People that the relationship between the two "fiery personalities" had "run its course," adding: "They are keeping it amicable now. She is okay."
This is Martinez first divorce, and the third for Berry, who wed baseball player David Justice in 1993 and singer Eric Benét in 2001.
She got some more bad news handed to her. CBS had canceled the hit drama Extent.
Berry had returned to television after 10 years. The series was produced by Amblin Entertainment and CBS Television Studios.
