Halle Berry Finally Sheds Light On Custody Battle For Nahla

Posted byBy Popular Critic | Published on: CommentsComments (0)

Halle Berry finally sheds some light on the ongoing custody battle for her daughter Nahla. The custody battle reached a heated peak when Halle reportedly feared for Nahla’s safety. Gabriel who’d previously remained on the sideline filed a paternity suit and requested custodial rights. Halle Berry twice dropped out of projects including “New Years Eve” and the Broadway play “Mountaintop” about Dr. Martin Luther King.

Despite what appeared to many as a heated custody battle Halle Berry maintains that things are going well. Halle tells Extra,

“When there’s a child involved, it’s a relief when you can resolve things in a good way. Our issues were never about fighting for her.”

“We both know a child needs both her parents. But what I want to say about it is sometimes, as a couple, you reach an impasse. We need a court and a judge to help us work out some of the delicate issues,” she explained.

“I’m so happy we’ve arrived at that place — because for her sake, this is the best way. We both love her more than life.”

Of course Gabriel dropped his custody suit, Halle Berry won the rights to travel on location with Nahla, she rejoined the “New Years Eve” cast and is dating hot French actor Olivier Martinez. Don’t things always go well when you’re the one winning?

Independent journalism still matters.

We hope this story was worth your time. For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed Black-owned and independently run. We didn't get here by waiting on ad budgets that were never built to prioritize us. Our readers did that.

Corporate support for Black media has always been thin. Outlets like ours get roughly 1% of the $170 billion spent on U.S. advertising each year, and that margin is shrinking further as advertisers walk back the DEI-linked commitments they made in 2020. That's the backdrop. It's not why we're asking.

The wider picture isn't any steadier. Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under, it's rarely the ones built to center a Black perspective from the ground up that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
