Halle Berry’s ex-husband, actor Olivier Martinez, has filed a statement with a Los Angeles court against the actress and asked to be granted sole custody of their 12-year-old son, Maceo. According to Martinez, an argument between the 60-year-old Oscar winner and their son on September 26 escalated into a physical altercation, during which the actress allegedly grabbed the boy by the neck and choked him, TMZ reports.

According to Martinez’s account, the incident began over a video game Maceo was playing with a VR headset. Berry allegedly demanded that her son stop playing, after which an argument broke out between them. The actress then allegedly began pushing Maceo and grabbed him by the neck. Martinez claims that during the altercation she also shouted, «Who’s in charge now?». The boy then called his father and asked him to come and pick him up.

Martinez claims this was allegedly not the first incident of its kind and accuses Berry of other physical, verbal and emotional conflicts with their son. He also raised concerns about the actress’s possible alcohol use.

Following Martinez’s filing, the court issued a temporary order against the actress: Berry must remain at least 90 meters away from her former husband, while visits with her son are currently taking place only according to a court-ordered schedule — twice a week and every other weekend, until the next hearing.

Berry’s representatives have denied the allegations, emphasizing that Martinez’s filing is «completely baseless and intentionally misleading».

The former couple have had a strained relationship for years. Halle Berry and Olivier Martinez separated in 2015 after two years of marriage, but their divorce was not officially finalized until three years ago. At the time, the court ordered the actress to pay her former husband $8,000 a month, as well as cover Maceo’s health insurance, therapy and private-school education. Under their custody arrangement, their son could spend time with his mother from Monday through Wednesday and with his father from Wednesday through Friday, while the parents alternated weekends.

Hollywood star Halle Berry has officially confirmed her engagement to musician Van Hunt, with whom she has been in a relationship for six years. The 59-year-old actress shared the news during an appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon.

According to Berry, the media had repeatedly misrepresented the situation, spreading claims that she was unwilling to marry again. In reality, she explained, things were much simpler: the couple simply took their time, and her partner proposed to her in early 2025.

As a striking confirmation, Berry showed off an elegant gold ring set with a bold diamond.

Berry and Hunt’s love story began in the spring of 2020, at the height of the pandemic. They met through the musician’s brother and spent their first four months communicating exclusively by phone.

The upcoming marriage will be the fourth for the star of Catwoman and the X-Men franchise. After several challenging relationships in the past, Berry openly admits that she considers her current partnership to be special and the most harmonious of her life.

Actress Halle Berry has set off on a grand adventure, accompanied by her beloved partner, Van Hunt.

The couple’s first stop was Joshua Tree National Park in California – a unique place where two deserts meet.

«Desert days. Windows down, music loud, and no place I’d rather be», the star captioned the picturesque shots.

Their journey then continued to Antelope Canyon, but not before a visit to Lake Powell.

Of course, the actress didn’t miss the chance to take a few memorable photos against the backdrop of the iconic red rocks.

Her swimsuit photos deserve special attention.

Looking at them, you’d hardly guess that the actress is already 58. This is the result of her disciplined lifestyle – Halle was diagnosed with diabetes at the age of 36 and follows a strict keto diet: high in fats, low in carbohydrates.

58-year-old Hollywood actress Halle Berry is working to redefine the concept of aging and challenge society’s perceptions of it. The Oscar winner expressed her disappointment with current beauty standards and the fact that age remains a taboo topic for women.

Halle is frustrated that she is often judged solely based on her appearance.

«I have always known that I am more than just this shell I walk around in. I’ve always dreamed of someone telling me something other than, «Oh my God, you’re so beautiful!» I’d love to hear different words», — the actress shared in an interview with Fortune magazine.

The star highlighted the stark differences in how society treats men and women as they enter their later years.

«Men become sexy, they get gray hair, they turn into silver foxes. We’re just old and exhausted. Society has told us — or used to tell us — that our time is up, but I know we’re just beginning to find our way», — Berry emphasized, adding that she sees her mission as encouraging women to embrace aging naturally.

Regarding those who try to fight aging and conceal their true age, the actress remarked that «unfortunately, we turn ourselves into monsters».
