Third Time is NOT the Charm For Halle Berry

27 Oct, 2015

Halle Berry and actor Olivier Martinez are ending their two-year marriage and say they want to proceed with the best interests of their young son in mind.

The actors released a joint statement announcing the divorce Tuesday, hours before Martinez filed a divorce petition citing irreconcilable differences in Los Angeles.

Martinez’s filing seeks joint custody of the pair’s 2-year-old son and lists Monday as their date of separation.

“It is with a heavy heart that we have come to the decision to divorce,” the actors wrote in a joint statement. “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 and Martinez met while making the 2012 film “Dark Tide.” They married in July 2013.

The filing does not provide any additional details about their breakup, and does not indicate the pair has a prenuptial agreement.

Berry won a best actress Academy Award for “Monster’s Ball.” She has been married twice previously and has a 7-year-old daughter from her relationship with model Gabriel Aubry.
