Halle seems to be trying her best to make it extremely difficult for Gabriel to see their three-year-old daughter Nahla. The award-winning actress, who was once described as “controlling” by sources close to her model ex, is reportedly doing all she can to keep Nahla as far away from Aubry as possible… by filing papers with the court to request permission to move to France.

If approved, Halle and Nahla will move to France with Halle’s boyfriend, Olivier Martinez.

So how does Gabriel feel about all this? TMZ reports:

“Gabriel is livid because he believes the move is punitive and designed to strip him of any contact with his daughter… And Gabriel is particularly upset because Halle‘s longtime boyfriend Olivier Martinez will be living with Halle and Nahla if the move is approved.”

And the Nahla tug-of-war continues…

Whose side are you on? Halle’s or Gabriel’s?

Thankfully, they’ve decided to bury the hatchet and work out a joint custody deal.

“It’s not exactly peace, but it’s not all-out war either, and that’s a development that’s good for everyone involved, a source close to the situation tells RadarOnline.com exclusively. “I think Halle started realizing that things were getting out of control. It was just getting too nasty and too public.”

“Gabriel and Halle even resumed talking again last week, and it seems that Halle is going to be making it easier for Gabriel to spend time with Nahla, which has been a sticking point between the two up till now. Hopefully this is the start of the two of them being able to form some kind of workable co-parenting relationship for the sake of their daughter.”

Thank goodness. I was really starting to lose respect for Halle Berry. She’s entirely too good for all this nonsense.

Gabriel – or so the gossip rags say – would like for Nahla to be considered white, and Halle disagrees. This morning, we’re greeted with a March Ebony cover where Halle says this:

“I feel like she’s black. I’m black and I’m her mother and I believe in the one-drop theory. I’m not going to put a label on it. I had to decide for myself and that’s what she’s going to have to decide – how she identifies herself in the world. And I think, largely, that will be based on how the world identifies her. That’s how I identified myself. But I feel like she’s black.”

What do you think? Is it harmful for her to run around and talk about race when there’s an impressionable small child in question or is it fair game?

He, apparently, uses the “N” word constantly and refuses to admit his daughter Nahla is a quarter African American.

“Sources connected with the former couple tell TMZ … whenever Gabriel would read a story about Nahla that referred to her as “black,” he would go off, insisting his baby was white.  We’re told Gabriel would tell Halle and others they should demand a “retraction” when such references were made regarding his daughter.”

I have a tough time believing Gabriel Aubry is such a horrible racist if he dated and procreated with Halle Berry and then raced after Kim Kardashian, who’s Armenian. This just sounds like sour grapes publicity from Halle Berry, but who’s to say.

Halle Berry, simply put, didn’t want someone like Kim Kardashian mixing and meshing with Nahla.

“Halle was very upset,. She was upset at the idea of someone like that being in her daughter’s life…She just didn’t want Nahla exposed to the cameras that are undoubtedly around a reality star.”

Who can blame her really? Even though Aubry told a friend he had no intention of introducing his daughter to anyone until after he’d successfully dated someone for six months.

What do you think? Was Halle truly worried about her daughter or just being jealous?

In addition to calling her the “N” word, he would also call her a “f**king b*tch” and other expletives as TMZ.com was told. The vulgarities are reportedly not limited to face-to-face confrontations, there are vulgar text messages as well.

One source told TMZ, “He constantly demeaned her. It was awful.”

We reported yesterday that Halle and Gabriel are engaged in a custody battle. Berry claims her daughter Nahla has been crying hysterically and throwing tantrums whenever Gabriel picks the toddler up for visits. That makes Halle convinced something bad is happening according to sources close to the situation.

Sigh! When it’s a bad break up, ultimately the kid suffers the most. Both Nahla’s parents have moved on, they are happily dating  other people already. I have to say, I would love to hear some stories from Gabriel’s side, not passing too much judgment to just one side of the story.

We hope they can find an amicable way to raise their adorable little toddler and other things between them don’t matter anymore, do they? It’s finito!

Berry‘s legal team says she doesn’t feel comfortable leaving her daughter in Aubry’s supervision and is ready to take “legal steps.” Aubry, on the flipside, questions Berry’s ability to parent and claims she’s just jealous he’s found comfort with other women (Kim Kardashian being one of them).

The two parties look like they’re more than ready to have a court decide the fate of Nahla. We’ll keep you posted!

Aubry and Berry were never married so it’s sticky trying to figure out visitation. Aubry was forced to sign a petition ensuring him rights, and the way Berry‘s handled it has his friends are convinced she’s got a screw lose.

“Basically whenever Gabriel doesn’t do exactly what Halle tells him to do, or if he does something she doesn’t approve of or like, she goes crazy on him, screaming and shouting,” the source says. “Contrary to public perception Halle has a particularly nasty temper, and she can be really controlling and vindictive. I’ve been with him when he’s gotten these insane calls from Halle — with her screaming at him and going crazy, when the poor guy hasn’t done anything!”

I wonder what exactly happened to split the couple up. This sounds like the actions of a woman scorned, honestly.

People magazine reports, “They still talk,” says a source close to the duo. “They were getting to know each other, but realized they might be better off just being friendly.”

Kardashian didn’t waste any time getting back into the dating game.  

Kim has been seeing New Jersey Nets player Kris Humphries,25, “for a while now,” the source added. ”Kim was dating, seeing a few guys and Gabriel and Kris were both of the guys. She is single after all!”

The pair were apparently spotted kissing and holding hands in Hoboken, New Jersey over the weekend. Ball player, sounds about right but this one is 6′ 9″ and Kim is what? 5 feet 2? Interesting.

There was no surprise with the Gabriel break up. We didn’t think they would last anyway.

Supposedly, Berry doesn’t think Kim Kardashian is a good role model for her daughter, Nahla, and certainly doesn’t want her on any reality show.

“Halle is “worried” that Gabriel will talk about his relationship with her on camera. Halle is really private, and she doesn’t want her business — or her daughter — part of any Kardashian reality show. Halle has concerns that Nahla will be spending time “around a reality star who’s done porn.”

Personally, I think this is much ado about nothing. There’s no way Kim Karadashian and Gabriel Aubry will last.

What did they see? Burlesque. Spies who witnessed date night reported:

“The 30-year-old reality starlet went out on a second date with the 34-year-old Canadian model to see the movie Burlesque on Thanksgiving at the upscale Arclight Cinema in Sherman Oaks, Calif. The hot new couple was dressed to the nines and pulled up in Gabriel’s white Rolls Royce Ghost.

Do you think this romance will last? Do you think Kim & Gabriel make a hot couple?

A pal tells US magazine, “They met through friends and have been dating a few weeks.”  “It’s sexy!” “They decided to step out together at the game.”

Gabriel, 34, and his ex-Halle split up in late April;  while it seems like Gabriel has been laying low while Halle has been parading his new beau and co-star Olivier Martinez all over the places. As for Kim, she has been dating on-and-off after Reggie Bush (off until Gabriel)..so two hotties spending sometime together seems to be a perfect idea especially with Thanksgiving and Christmas around the corner. Do you think they make a hot couple?

An insider-type told Life and Style:

“Kim and Gabriel met a few times while they were both in New York, and there was definitely chemistry. But when Kim returned to Los Angeles last Thursday, they really took it to the next level. They went out to dinner, caught the Lakers game and spent time at Kim’s house. He has already met Kris [Jenner, Kim’s mom], as well as Khloé and Kourtney,” reveals the insider. “They’re all wild about him.”

Uh huh. Suuure. I’ll have to see this one to believe it. What do you think?

A source at Page Six says Aubry doesn’t want to confuse Nahla with every one of Berry‘s flavors of the week.

“Gabriel has never met Olivier, so the idea that he approves of their romance is ridiculous. While he wants Halle to be happy, Nahla is the No. 1 concern in Gabriel’s life. He is more worried about his daughter being introduced to new boyfriends when they’ve only been dating a few months.”

Halle had a ring on her finger that was quite the show of bling. Is it an engagement ring already? From Music Rooms:

“These two are so in love, they want to spend as much time together as possible. They hate being apart, even for one night, if they can help it,” a source told Look magazine. “They want to be home together as neither of them particularly likes meeting in hotels. Since they both need to be in Hollywood for work, it made sense for Olivier to move in sooner rather than later. And the love the privacy of her place, although Halle says she can’t wait to get to know Paris better. They are definitely not taking things slowly.”

Well, if they aren’t taking it slowly, then an engagement might not be too far off. Do you think they make a good couple?

In fact, the last few weeks have been the worst:

“He’s really getting sick of it and it’s getting to the point where he is seriously considering his options regarding pursuing permanent custody. He refuses to give up rights to his daughter, he loves her more than anything and is determined to be a regular, full time fixture in her life.”

Things really reached a boiling point once Halle signed on to film a movie in South Africa this summer.

“Gabriel requested that he be allowed to keep Nahla with him in Los Angeles but Halle wouldn’t let that happen, so the two reached a total stalemate and it started getting nasty, with both of them looking into entering a legal battle.“In the end they reached an agreement. Basically Halle is going to pay Gabriel to be a kind of full time nanny and to come to South Africa for the three months she’s there, and to be Nahla’s full-time caregiver.

Wow. Being demoted from boyfriend/future husband to “full time caregiver on the payroll” must be quite the ego slash, but hey, at least he gets to see his daughter.

Do you think Halle and Gabriel will get back together?

More pictures of Gabriel after the case…

Does he really think running to Canada will keep the photographers away? They will chase him anyway! Didn’t he already go there months ago, when Halle first kicked him out? From Radar Online:

In fact, RadarOnline.com has learned exclusively that Aubry is so unhappy that he is even considering lawyering up and launching a custody battle, with the sole aim of taking his precious 2-year-old to Canada to live away from the Hollywood spotlight.

I think any smart judge would recognize that the excitement over them will die down in a couple days or weeks and that Canada isn’t necessary. Why do you think Gabriel really wants to go to Canada?

More pictures of Halle after the snap…

 Rumors started that Gabriel was behind the split because Halle was too old for him. Her team says via People Magazine:

 ”She kicked him out months ago because he wasn’t able to pull his weight in the relationship and she wanted to move on,” a source close to Berry and Aubry tells PEOPLE.

“They’re very amicable in healthy ways because of their child,” adds the source referring to the couple’s 2-year-old daughter Nahla. “Her main concern is for the health and happiness of her daughter.”

I can see Halle kicking him out. Which story do you believe – too old or not pulling their weight?

more details of the break up after the jump…

A source tells Radar Online, “Gabriel just felt it wasn’t working anymore,” “When they were first together the 9-year age difference between them didn’t phase him, she [Halle Berry, 43] was the most beautiful woman he had ever dated and he was totally in love.” “But as time went on he started feeling it more and more.”

“Gabriel is a really nice, decent guy and he would never cheat on her, but I suspect that he had become attracted to someone and that he felt he needed to break it off with Halle before anything developed any further.”

They say three’s the charm, it didn’t happen for Berry. She’s had two failed marriages and we really thought Gabriel was the one. They also have a gorgeous two-year old, Nahla Ariela Aubry together.

Halle’s first marriage to former baseball player, David Justice ended bitterly after 5 years amid accusations from Berry of domestic abuse.

Halle’s second marriage, to R & B singer Eric Benet ended after four years when Halle busted Eric for cheating on her. Halle filed for divorce despite Benet going into treatment for sex addiction. Sounds familiar?

Berry and Aubry’s split is said to be amicable.

A source adds “But I think Halle has taken it pretty badly, she truly loved Gabriel and thought she had found the one.”

Just sad! I hope Halle really find someone to settle down with. She seemed to so happy with Gabriel. But then again one door closes another one opens, right? One has to be positive
Who do you think Halle will date next? Someone from LaLa Land?

more Halle and Gabriel after the hop…

Today, French Canadian model Gabriel Aubry opened up to Access Hollywood about the split:

“I am sad to say that Halle and I have decided together to separate at this time. She is, and will forever be one of the most special and beautiful people that I have ever known, and I am certain that we will continue to have only love and respect for one another…We have been blessed with the most amazing daughter in the world,” Aubry’s statement continues.  “Her happiness and well-being are the most important things in the world for us.”

Oh, tears. Who should Halle date next?
