Halle Berry loses custody of son with ex Olivier Martinez: report
- On Thursday, October 29, 2026, a judge awarded Olivier Martinez primary physical custody of 13-year-old son Maceo in Los Angeles, barring Halle Berry from overnight visits with the child.
- Tensions escalated after Martinez accused Berry of "physically abusing" their son by "jumping on him and choking him" during an alleged September 26 incident, prompting his temporary restraining order request.
- Despite the custody shift, Judge Shelley Kaufman dissolved the temporary restraining order Martinez filed against Berry, denying his request for a domestic violence order protecting him and Maceo.
- Berry retains joint legal custody of Maceo and holds tie-breaking authority should she and Martinez struggle to reach an agreement, a representative confirmed.
- Future proceedings remain ahead as Berry previously requested both parties communicate exclusively via the "Our Family Wizard" app and implement conjoint therapy sessions for Maceo's education and health needs.
