Olivier Martinez has become the third husband of the movie star Halle Berry and the father of her son Maceo. They met at the set of the movie “Dark Tide”. The couple had been dating for three years, before getting married officially on July 13, 2013.

In 2016 the marriage dissolution was registered officially.

Olivier is Halle’s French colleague. He is a talented actor and a handsome man, who is nicknamed in the press as “The French Brad Pitt”. He gained popularity due to his works in such films as “S.W.A.T.” and “The Roman Spring of Mrs. Stone”.
