Olivier Martinez was back to his typically polished self after he was pictured looking forlorn in September amid his bitter child custody battle with ex-wife Halle Berry. 

The actor, 58, was clean shaven and rocked a leather jacket as he cheered on their son Maceo, 11, as he played football on Monday. 

Halle, also 58, stood at the opposite end of the pitch to Olivier with her boyfriend Van Hunt, 54, whom she has been dating since 2020. 

At one point Van was pictured chatting to Olivier, but Halle appeared to keep her distance.  

The former couple have been in a bitter custody row over co-parenting their son Maceo.

Last month, a judge sided with the actress, after Halle claimed the French actor was trying to take time off from their co-parenting therapy and requested he is compelled to participate.

The judge agreed with Halle in legal documents obtained by TMZ, but noted that Olivier already complied with her request after she took him to court.

The judge also ordered both Halle and Olivier to refrain from discussing child custody issues with their son or making negative comments about each other or their significant others in front of him.

In September. Halle claimed she has spent $200,000  trying to ‘work with’ Olivier on co-parenting their son in shock court documents. 

The Oscar-winner married Martinez in 2013 – the same year they welcomed Maceo – and split in 2016. Their divorce was finalised seven years later in August 2023 – with the pair since embroiled in a bitter custody row.

In documents obtained by US Weekly Berry claims she has spent over $200,000 in legal fees including ‘voluntarily’ contributing $80,000 towards Martinez’s own legal expenses.

She claimed the actor supports himself off her child support payments – so she ‘has to go to work’.

She wrote in the documents: ‘I have done everything possible to work with Olivier, to communicate with him, and to engage him in the decision-making process regarding our son [Maceo] in an amicable way.’

‘Olivier has refused to co-parent and communicate with me in a child-centered way; he has been oppositional and unmovable on all major issues relating to Maceo.’

 Halle made headlines in August by seeking sole custody of Maceo.

The actress is claiming that their son is struggling in school and that he is, ‘grade levels behind,’ adding he has been diagnosed with ADHD and mild dyslexia.

She adds that Maceo’s father is, ‘either oblivious’ to his difficulties or, ‘carelessly disregards them,’ which she says proves he’s unfit for custody.

The actress claims that Martinez is delaying the custody hearing which will impact a ‘ruling on interventions necessary for the parties’ struggling child.’ She also claims the actor is trying to ‘extract more money’ from her.

Martinez had previously stated that he needs an ‘expert’ to testify on his behalf, which she called, ‘nonsensical.’

‘It would be unjust, and certainly detrimental to Maceo, to continue the September 10, 2024 hearing by 120 days on the basis that third-party percipient witnesses are expected to testify or that Olivier somehow needs to retain other unidentified experts,’ the documents read.

Shortly after Berry’s filing, Martinez fired back that the actress is ‘refusing’ to set a date that works for him.

He added that Berry has refused his request for help in paying his legal fees, despite, ‘admittedly earning several millions of dollars at this time.’

Halle also shares daughter, Nahla, 16, with her ex-boyfriend Gabriel Aubry, 47.
