## Key points

- Van Hunt has supported Berry throughout the custody dispute.
- A judge rejected Martinez’s request for a permanent restraining order.
- Martinez still has primary custody, with Berry’s visits limited to daytime.

## Summary

Halle Berry is being supported by her fiancé, musician Van Hunt, during her ongoing custody dispute with former husband Olivier Martinez. A judge recently rejected Martinez’s request for a permanent domestic violence restraining order against Berry, but the case has left her with limited contact with their son.

Hunt testified for Berry in closed-door court proceedings, as did her daughter Nahla. Martinez had alleged Berry choked their son Maceo during an incident in September; Berry denies the accusation, while her lawyers have accused Martinez of disrupting the boy’s education and care. Although the temporary restraining order was dissolved on 29 October, Martinez retained primary physical custody, and Berry’s visits remain daytime-only; she is seeking sole legal custody and a return to shared physical custody.
