After five years together, and two years of marriage, Halle Berry and Olivier Martinez are calling it a day. The pair released a joint statement yesterday, which reads: "We move forward with love and respect for one another and the shared focus of what is best for our son."
People.com are reporting that while Halle hasn't requested spousal support, Olivier apparently has: "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."
As for why the Oscar winner split from the Frenchman, seemingly it was over their living arrangements. Halle has had ongoing disputes with the father of her daughter, Nahla (that being Gabriel Aubry), which means she couldn't move lock, stock and proverbial barrel to "Europe" as planned. Seemingly Martinez was "never happy in LA."
He also reportedly had a bit of a temper on him.
This is the third divorce for Berry; she was previously married to the third for Berry; her first marriage was in 1993, to baseball player David Justice. She then married singer Eric Benét in 2001.
