Halle Berry and Olivier Martinez custody dispute

Overview

The legal dispute between Halle Berry and Olivier Martinez regarding the custody of their 13-year-old son, Maceo, has intensified. Following Martinez’s allegations of physical assault on September 26, 2026, a Los Angeles judge granted Martinez temporary primary custody and issued a temporary restraining order against Berry.

Martinez claims that during an incident involving a virtual reality headset, Berry physically attacked and choked Maceo while shouting, “Who is dominant now?!” Berry has vehemently denied these claims, describing them as “outrageous, false, and misleading,” and characterizing the interaction as “playfully roughhousing.” She maintains that timestamped video evidence exists to support her account and notes that the child showed no visible injuries. Berry has also asserted that she was previously a victim of domestic violence herself.

Berry has filed legal requests in Los Angeles Superior Court seeking to reinstate a 50/50 shared custody arrangement and restore her tie-breaking authority on parenting decisions. In response to the temporary restraining order, Berry has completed a court-ordered parenting education course.

Berry’s daughter, Nahla Aubry, has filed a formal declaration with the court refuting the allegations. Aubry, 18, stated, “I have never seen my mom hit, slap, choke, grab, or physically abuse Maceo in any way,” describing Berry as a “loving and devoted parent” who is “warm, supportive, and deeply involved” in her children’s lives, though she noted Berry can be strict regarding rules and respect.

A formal hearing remains scheduled for October 16 to determine if the current temporary custody and restraining orders will become permanent.
