00:16 of marriage. They have one son, nine-year-old Macio, who they will share legal and physical
00:21 custody of, according to court docs. Halle will also pay a hefty sum in child support,
00:28 $8,000 monthly, and will "also pay an additional 4.3% of all income she receives above $2 million."

00:49 Hunt, Halle's current partner, cannot attend. In response to the divorce update, Olivier's
00:56 lawyer tells E! News, "The public documents filed in the matter should speak for themselves.

01:08 time with their son." E! News has reached out to reps for Halle for comment, but has not yet heard
01:14 back. The actors announced their split in 2015, telling E! News in a statement, "At the time,
01:20 it is with a heavy heart that we have come to the decision to divorce. At the time,
01:25 a source told E! News, they had an incredibly passionate bond with one another, but with that
01:31 comes big highs and lows." Halle and the star first met on the set of the 2012 film Dark Tide.

01:44 David Justice and singer Eric Benet. Currently, Halle is dating musician Van Hunt, whom she first
01:51 connected with during quarantine in 2020. The Catwoman star told AARP the magazine that the
01:59 start of the relationship was unique for her, revealing, "We were forced to let only our brains
02:05 connect and discover if we had a connection before our bodies decided to get involved."
02:11 She added, "I'd never done it this way. I fell in love with his mind, his conversation."
