After five years of togetherness (and one child later), award-winning actress Halle Berry and her model-boyfriend Gabriel Aubry have split up.
Sources at RadarOnline state that the two reached an “amicable decision” to split — and why is it always so damned “amicable?” You know there’s got to be drama involved somewhere, we’re not all the Brady Bunch, you know — because the age difference started to bother Aubry, who is 9 years Berry’s junior. So, yeah, blah, blah, blah, they’re going to remain friends and take care of their daughter, Nahla, together and whatever else have you:
A source close to the situation tells RadarOnline.com that Gabriel was the one who pulled the plug on their five year relationship and that the age difference – he’s 34, she’s 43 – played a role.
“Gabriel just felt it wasn’t working anymore,” the source says. “When they were first together the 9-year age difference between them didn’t phase him, she 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. Also, Gabriel started noticing other women, and being attracted to other, and he felt it just wasn’t right to stay with Halle in those circumstances. 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.”
Well, my condolences, guys. Halle, you’re super-hot and Gabriel, damn .. so are you. It’s going to be really sad not seeing two of the most beautiful people in the world photographed side by side anymore, but hey.
C’est la vie, right?
NOOO!!! This is so disappointing. I was at least hoping they’d pop another one out before they split…
I’m amazed that they pulled it off for five years. The real problem was that nature abhors an over-concentration of beauty – it causes esthetic disturbances in the Force.
And Halle needs to get a clue – she keeps going for gorgeous guys (Wesley Snipes, who deafened her in one ear after hitting her, aside) with predictable results. Although I guess even spuds can find ways to betray a babe.
If the reason noted in this post is really why he’s be breaking it off and it isn’t speculation, then he’s a shallow, immature asshole — and especially considering that there’s a kid involved in the relationship. Grow up, douche bag, and stick it out. On the other hand, if it is speculation, then another reason might be that he just can’t handle Berry’s high maintenance all of the time — think Academy Awards acceptance speech, but having to listen to it every day, twice a day.
Well, of course. Who wants to wake up next to a 43 year old woman every day?
Not being part of their lives won’t stop me from speculating! I think the reason that age was a factor is because Gabriel wanted more children. He always says he wanted a huge family and Halle is happy with just Nahla.
Eh, I thought she got a lot less attractive after she had the kid, too, so I’m not going to judge him.
halle berry is very beautiful, yet nothing can compare to that god of a man. he is just painfully gorgeous, havent seen a more perfect guy in my life, and i dont even like blondes-that´s how good he is.
That chick is all kinds of crazy
