Halle Berry's Fiancé Details Alleged Altercation with Actor's Son

Halle Berry was seen with her fiancé, Van Hunt, as new court documents reveal details of a confrontation between the actress and her 13-year-old son, Maceo. The incident, which allegedly occurred on September 26, is part of an escalating legal dispute with Berry's ex-husband, Olivier Martinez.

Martinez has accused Berry of physically abusing their son, Maceo, and has sought a domestic violence restraining order against her to protect both him and their child. A judge has reportedly granted Martinez a temporary restraining order. Berry has denied these allegations.

In a court filing, Van Hunt stated that he witnessed an argument between Berry and Maceo. He intervened to de-escalate the situation, describing it as a heated confrontation. Hunt has characterized Berry as a loving and attentive mother who has never been abusive. He has been in a relationship with Berry for six years.

Berry and Martinez were married in 2013 and divorced in 2016. The former couple are seeking joint legal custody of Maceo. Martinez, 60, is seeking sole custody.

Berry was recently seen attending the 'Through Her Lens: The Tribeca CHANEL Women's Filmmaker Program Luncheon' in New York on September 22, just days before the alleged incident with her son.
