Halle Berry and Olivier Martinez have split after two years of Marriage

The actors are splitting after two years of marriage. They have a son together, Maceo, aged two.

In their joint statement the couple said, 'It is with a heavy heart that we have come to the decision to divorce. We move forward with love and respect for one another and the shared focus for what is best for our son.'

It was added, '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 - both 49 - were last seen together on October 17 while at a Halloween event in Sherman Oaks with her daughter Nahla, aged seven, from her relationship with model Gabriel Aubry.

The two - who met in 2010 on the set of their drama Dark Tide, which wasn't released until 2012 - seemed to be in good spirits as they strolled through a parking lot side by side. But on Monday the X-Men: The Last Stand beauty looked glum as she headed out on a shopping trip alone.

According to TMZ Berry made the filing and it was added that the two have a prenup. According to Celebrity Net Worth she has a fortune of $80m.

The marriage unraveled in the past week after they hit a 'breaking point,' the site reported.

They had been fighting over his January incident at LAX, where Olivier hit an airport employee with a car seat, pushing him to the ground. He was sued in mid October for the attack.

This 'exacerbated their conflicts,' it was reported. 

'They have a personality difference,' it was also claimed by the site. 'They're just very, very different people. He's a very macho guy, and things just didn't jive.'  

Sources also have told TMZ that Halle 'is not asking for joint or primary custody, but rather what is in the best interests of the child.'

Before Olivier started a romance with Halle, he spent most of his time in his native France and the two were hoping to move there, but because of her custody agreement with Nahla, she has had to stay in the US. 

A source however hinted that there were no issues between the two. 'The relationship had run its course,' said a friend. 'They are keeping it amicable now.'

The insider also said that Halle - who told InStyle in 2007 'I will never, never get married again' - was 'okay.'

For her first anniversary the two went to Hawaii.

But in September, Halle didn't seem to remember her wedding anniversary with Olivier when she talked to E! News.

This will be Berry's third divorce and Martinez's first.

The Catwoman star was married to baseball player David Justice in the early 1990s and singer Eric Benét in the early 2000s. 

Olivier dated Juliette Binoche from 1994 to 1997 then Mira Sorvino from 1999 to 2002.

From 2003 to 2007 he was with singer Kylie Minogue then he briefly dated Elsa Pataky.
