Actress Halle Berry has announced her split from husband Oliver Martinez after two years of marriage. The couple has filed due to irreconcilable differences but stated that the divorce was a mutual decision. In a joint statement, the couple wished nothing but the best for each other and said their decisions regarding the divorce will be based on the best interests of their two-year-old son, Maceo. Both requested joint custody in their individual petitions, and custody rights will be determined at a later date. The couple also filed a prenuptial agreement prior to the marriage.
The couple first met on the set of their movie Dark Tide in 2012 and wed in 2013. Rumors that the couple has been on the rocks have circulated for months, intensifying after Berry was photographed without her wedding ring multiple times. Berry’s split from Martinez marks the actress’s third divorce.
