Swing: Halle Berry and her adorable three-year-old daughter Nahla enjoyed some early Mother's Day bonding time at a park in Beverly Hills today


Halle Berry got in some early Mother's Day fun with her daughter Nahla today as they spent a delightful afternoon playing in a Beverly Hills park.

The mother and daughter duo had a fun day in the California sunshine and the adorable three-year-old giggled and laughed as Halle pushed her on the swing.

Wanting to get in on the action, Halle then placed Nahla on her lap and went for a trip down the slide.

The Oscar winner, 44, looked daytime chic in skinny jeans and an asymmetrical grey top.

She tried to be incognito with a white baseball cap and large glasses but her model looks and stunning figure gave the game away that it was the Monster's Ball star.

Little Nahla was dressed in a white top and a floral skirt for a fun day out.

The pair then walked to a nearby pond hand in hand while Nahla snacked on a lollipop.

'I'm so happy we've arrived at that place': Halle Berry reveals her relationship is now amicable with former partner Gabriel Aubry amid custody battle

By Daily Mail Reporter


Speaking out: Halle Berry, pictured here at the Halle Berry celebrity golf classic with Grey Goose at Wilshire Country Club, has spoken out for the first time about her ugly custody battle with her former partner Gabriel Aubry


As they come to the verge of a custody agreement over their three-year-old daughter Nahla, Halle Berry insists everything is now amicable between her and her former partner Gabriel Aubry.

The 44-year-old Oscar-winning actress has spoken out for the first time since her ugly custody battle began with the Canadian model.

She insists that her relationship is amicable with the 34-year-old French model, and that she is glad she chose to go through the courts for the sake of her daughter.


'When there's a child involved, it's a relief when you can resolve things in a good way. Our issues were never about fighting for her,' she told Extra.

She admits that it was when their battle came to a standoff, they needed someone to intervene.

'We both know a child needs both her parents. But what I want to say about it is sometimes, as a couple, you reach an impasse, she said.

'We need a court and a judge to help us work out some of the delicate issue.'

The mother-of-one says she is happy that her and Gabriel have now set aside their differences.

'I'm so happy we've arrived at that place - because for her sake, this is the best way. We both love her more than life,' Halle said of their court proceedings.

It was just last month that Halle and Gabriel were locked in an argument over whether Nahla should travel from L.A. where Gabriel lives, to New York, where Halle was shooting her new film, New Years' Day.

Gabriel attempted to block the star from taking Nahla with her to the East coast.

Sources alleged he refused Halle's offer to put him up in a hotel during a week-long shoot so he could spend time with the child.

Halle, who had publicly said she had 'serious concerns' about Gabriel's parenting, is understood to have been unwilling to leave the toddler alone in Los Angeles with her father.

TMZ reported Aubry, who was not working at the time, said: 'Why do I have to follow her? She can leave [Nahla] here.'

But in the end, Halle eventually received permission from the courts to take Nahla to New York to fulfil the work obligations.

Now the couple are in the process of finalising a custody settlement with a judge.


TMZ reported that Judge Mark Juhas said to Gabriel and his lawyers in court last week, ‘We’re making huge progress. We need to stick with it.’

They are said to be on the verge of an agreement over the visitation and custody of Nahla.

Gabriel filed his bid back in December for partial custody of Nahla.

Following the break up of the couple in April 2010, he was said to be concerned that his access to Nahla would be blocked by Halle, as nothing was agreed in writing.

But it was this very move to protect his rights that sparked the bitter war of words.

Accusations were also made that Gabriel used a racial slur against Halle and then, in a particularly nasty turn, a source claimed the model 'went nuts' when his daughter was referred to as 'black'.

In an interview which took place prior to the public feud, Halle clearly stated she regarded her daughter - who has both white and African-American heritage - to be 'black'.

She said she subscribes to the 'one-drop theory', which refers to the controversial racial classification of African-Americans that determined who was black in the US.

Halle has moved on since her split with Gabriel, and is now dating actor Olivier Martinez.

The actors met while filming Dark Tide in South Africa last year, which is yet to have a release date but is a thriller centered around a diving instructor who returns to keep waters after a near-fatal encounter with a Great White shark.

Since sparking up a romance, Halle and Olivier have been spotted looking very loved up in various cities around the world over the past few months.

Yesterday the actress was doing her bit for charity as she hosted the Halle Berry celebrity golf classic with Grey Goose at Wilshire Country Club in Los Angeles.

She hit the greens to benefit the Jenesse Center, a domestic violence intervention program which is a cause she has continously supported.
