Another Hollywood marriage is over. This time, it's the Academy Award winning-actress Halle Berry.
The 49-year-old actress filed for divorce from husband Olivier Martinez. The reason cited in the case is irreconcilable differences.
Berry's attorney purportedly filed the divorce by using aliases, "Hal Maria" for Berry and "Oliver Martin" for Martinez. It was reported that the couple didn't have too much complications with the divorce process and with regards to money issues, the couple had a prenuptial agreement thus making things easy.
As for the reason why the couple divorced, it's just as what their divorce file stated: irreconcilable differences.
"They have a personality difference." A source reportedly told TMZ. "They're just very, very different people. He's a very macho guy, and things just didn't jive."
Just recently Olivier had an incident at LAX where he got sued for hitting a guy with a car seat. TMZ's source disclosed that this got the couple into a heated argument which ultimately caused them to opt for divorce.
While Berry got to file the divorce first, the 49-year-old actor is all for it and claimed that the actress just beat him to it.
With regards to this matter, the couple has issued a joint statement.
"It is with a heavy heart that we have come to the decision to divorce. We move forward with love and respect for one another and the shared focus for 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 share a 2-year-old child together named Maceo. The actress also has Nahla, her daughter with previous husband Gabriel Aubry. Reportedly, Halle did not entitle her ex-husband to spousal support nor asked for a joint or primary custody. It seems that the actress only wants to settle the divorce as soon as possible.
