Actor Olivier Martinez files to have a restraining order issued against Halle Berry and seeks custody changes involving their 12-year-old son, Maceo, alleging physical abuse. Multiple outlets report that Martinez also accuses Berry of choking their son during an incident on September 26, 2026.
According to reports, a court grants Martinez temporary relief related to custody and orders protecting him or the family, including limits on contact and/or distance. The New York Post says Berry loses 50/50 custody in favor of daytime visits and must stay 100 yards away from Martinez, while Fox News describes a temporary restraining order and Martinez’s request for sole custody. Variety and other coverage also note that Berry has not publicly commented on the allegations in these reports.
Outlets differ mainly in how they characterize custody details and the procedural status—some emphasize daytime visitation and distance requirements, while others focus on Martinez’s allegations and his petition for a restraining order—without disputing the core claims and the existence of the court action.
