Halle Berry Divorce
Gabriel began a relationship with actress Halle Berry in late 2005 after meeting her at a Versace photo shoot. The couple welcomed daughter Nahla on March 16, 2008.
In April 2010, Aubry and Berry announced that they had split up a few months earlier. Gabriel and Halle subsequently engaged in a contentious custody battle, primarily due to Berry's desire to move with Nahla to France, the home country of actor Olivier Martinez, Berry's then-fiancé. Aubry objected because the move would interfere with the former couple's joint custody arrangement. A judge denied Halle's request in November 2012. A few weeks later, Aubry and Martinez got into an altercation at Berry's home and were both treated at a hospital. Oliver performed a citizen's arrest on Gabriel and obtained a temporary emergency protective order to keep Aubry from coming within 100 yards of Halle, Nahla, and Oliver. Gabriel then obtained a temporary restraining order against Oliver, stating that the fight happened as a result of Martinez threatening to kill him if he didn't allow Halle and Nahla to move to France. Leaked court documents pertaining to the incident surfaced, and they included photos showing that Aubry's face had sustained significant injuries.
On November 29, 2012, it was announced that Gabriel and Halle had "reached an amicable agreement" in court. In mid-2014, a Superior Court ruled that Berry must pay Aubry $16,000 a month for child support and ordered her to pay him $115,000 and $300,000 for attorney fees.
