Halle Berry and Olivier Martinez are divorcing.
The 49-year-old actress and actor, also 49, are
splitting after a little more than two years of marriage, Access Hollywood has
confirmed.
“It is with
a heavy heart that we have come to the decision to divorce,” the couple
said in a joint statement to Access on Tuesday. “We move forward with love
and respect for one another and the shared focus for what is best for our son.
We wish each other nothing but happiness in life, and we hope that you respect
our, and most importantly our children’s privacy, as we go through this
difficult period.”
Halle and Olivier began dating in 2010 and
publicly confirmed their engagement in March 2012. They married at Chateau des Conde in
Vallery, France in July 2013.
The former couple welcomed a son, Maceo, together in October 2013.
