Halle Berry Divorce
Gabriel began dating actress Halle Berry in late 2005 after meeting her at a Versace photo shoot. The couple welcomed their daughter Nahla on March 16, 2008. In April 2010, they announced their split. The breakup led to a contentious custody battle due to Berry's desire to move to France with Nahla, where her then-fiancé, actor Olivier Martinez, lived. Aubry opposed the move, citing it would disrupt their joint custody arrangement. A judge denied Berry's request in November 2012. Shortly after, Aubry and Martinez were involved in a physical altercation at Berry's home. Martinez performed a citizen's arrest on Aubry and secured a temporary protective order against him. Aubry also obtained a restraining order against Martinez, stating Martinez threatened his life over the custodial dispute. Photos of Aubry's injuries from the altercation were leaked in court documents.
On November 29, 2012, it was declared that Aubry and Berry had "reached an amicable agreement" in court. In 2014, a Superior Court ruled that Berry must pay Aubry $16,000 a month in child support as well as $115,000 and $300,000 for attorney fees.
