Olivier Martinez, 58, was seen walking in Los Angeles yesterday, but many people didn’t recognize him as Halle Berry’s ex-husband. After the actress said she had spent $200,000 trying to get custody of their son Maceo, new pictures were made public.
Olivier Martinez and Halle Berry got married in 2013 and had their son that same year. They split up in 2016 and got divorced in August 2023. They are now fighting over who gets to keep the kids.
The most recent pictures of Martinez have shocked and worried a lot of people. He is almost unrecognizable now compared to how he looked with Halle Berry in 2013 and 2014. Even though he is only 58 years old, it is still not clear if the years have worn him down or if something else is going on.
According to documents received by Us Weekly, Halle says she spent more than $200,000 on legal fees, which included paying her ex-husband’s legal fees out of her own pocket.
“I’ve done everything I could to work with Olivier, talk to him, and keep him involved in the friendly decision-making process about our son.” “Olivier has refused to co-parent and talk to me about the child; he has stayed firm on all major issues involving Maceo,” the actress stressed. She also said that her ex-partner wouldn’t pay child support, which made her “work,” and he wouldn’t pay for the therapist to come to her house as part of the process.
The ex-spouses’ messages to each other were also made public. In one, Halle said, “I’m very sorry we are at odds.” I thought we would do better. Van Hunt is her current partner. “I always hoped that we would be better for our son and work together like before Van.”
Halle has been giving this ex-boyfriend child support because they have a daughter together.
Halle said in the texts, “I don’t know why you don’t stop being angry.” We need to stop being so angry and get better. That’s what Maceo gets. It hurts to be called a lie and to fight with you, so I’m giving up.
“You play dirty and don’t put our son’s needs first,” Olivier answered. “Don’t worry, karma will come back to you.”
The custody fight is still going on, and Halle says Martinez is hurting their son by asking for more time to delay the next hearing. He says the actress doesn’t give him enough time to get ready. The Oscar winner asked for full custody of their son last month, saying that the boy has ADHD and mild dyslexia, which make it hard for him to learn.
Halle made it clear that the star doesn’t know about Maceo’s problems and doesn’t care about them. According to the Daily Mail, Martinez wants a court expert to be involved in this case, which she doesn’t see any reason for.
From 2002 to 2007, Olivier Martinez was seeing singer Kylie Minogue. During that time, Minogue was fighting breast cancer.
