Halle Berry was recently photographed with her rarely seen 12-year-old son, Maceo, as a difficult custody dispute with his father, Olivier Martinez, continues to unfold in court. The outing came only days after Martinez filed an emergency request seeking sole custody and a domestic violence restraining order against Berry. His filing centered on an alleged September 26 incident at Berry\u2019s home involving their son. Berry\u2019s attorney has strongly denied the allegations, creating two sharply different accounts of what happened behind closed doors. Meanwhile, private text messages between the former couple have revealed just how tense their disagreements over Maceo had become. One message from Berry reportedly said she felt \u201cterrible\u201d about what happened the previous night \u2014 but the next development gave the public a rare glimpse of mother and son together.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Photos shared by Page Six showed Berry and Maceo walking side by side during a recent outing, with the publication obscuring the boy\u2019s face. The sighting was notable because Maceo is rarely photographed publicly, especially while his parents\u2019 legal dispute is under such intense scrutiny. A Los Angeles County judge has temporarily modified Berry\u2019s visitation schedule, allowing her continued time with Maceo while the case moves toward another hearing later this month. The court did not grant every request made by Martinez, including sobriety monitoring, citing insufficient information. Berry\u2019s attorney, Marina Beck, has called Martinez\u2019s filing \u201cmeritless\u201d and \u201cmisleading,\u201d while Martinez\u2019s attorney says his primary concern is the child\u2019s health, welfare and safety. The former couple finalized their divorce settlement in 2023 after years of negotiations, agreeing to joint legal custody, with Berry paying $8,000 a month in child support. For now, the court\u2019s order is temporary, and the competing claims remain unresolved as both parents prepare for the next legal chapter.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
