A 12-year-old son is at the center of a new custody dispute as actress Halle Berry’s ex‑husband Olivier Martinez filed a restraining order and sought sole custody, alleging Berry physically choked the child. Page Six published private messages in which the boy asks Martinez to pick him up, writing “Please come.” The restraining order filing places both parents under court scrutiny, with Martinez pursuing sole guardianship.
No response from Berry’s representatives has been reported, and the next step will be a court hearing to determine custody arrangements.
