Halle Berry is said to be “relieved” and “ready to move on” after her divorce from ex-husband Olivier Martinez was finalised, according to a new report. The former couple, both 57, will share joint legal and physical custody of their nine-year-old son, Maceo, after a bitter legal battle that has spanned almost eight years.
Speaking to People magazine, an insider said that Berry is “so ready to move on” after the battle, as it has been “way too drawn out”, adding: “She needed it all finalised.” The Oscar-winning actress filed for divorce in 2015, and was ruled legally single in December 2016.
Under the terms of the divorce settlement, Berry will pay Martinez $8,000 (£6,290) per month in child support. She is also required to pay 4.3 per cent of any income she receives above $2 million (£1.6 million), according to documents obtained by the PA news agency.
Berry has agreed to pay for Maceo’s tuition at private school, including his uniform and school supplies, and must cover 100 per cent of “all agreed on extracurricular activities”. She will also reimburse Martinez for the 2023/2024 school year.
In a joint statement issued in 2015, the couple said they had reached the decision to divorce “with a heavy heart”, adding: “We move forward with love and respect for one another and the shared focus of what is best for our son.” Berry has reportedly been with her current partner, Van Hunt, since 2020.
