Earlier this week, Sammie reported an item of gossip from In Touch Weekly. According to their sources, Gabriel Aubrey “approved” of Halle Berry’s new boyfriend Olivier Martinez, because Olivier and Gabriel both speak French, and Nahla being bilingual is important to Gabriel. Now a “source” close to Gabriel tells Page Six this isn’t the case, at all. Apparently, Gabriel has never met Olivier, and he doesn’t think much of Halle introducing her new boyfriend to Nahla:
Despite reports that Gabriel Aubry has given his blessing to ex Halle Berry’s new romance with Olivier Martinez, a source says, “Gabriel has never met Olivier, so the idea that he approves of their romance is ridiculous.”
The story even claimed that Aubry’s delighted because his and Berry’s daughter, Nahla, will speak French with Olivier. But a friend said, “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.”

Is this a case of “Bitter, party of one?” Or does this “friend” have it on good authority that Halle is letting Olivier spend time with Nahla. Even though Olivier and Halle have had something of a whirlwind courtship, going from costars hooking up to an international love affair that included red carpet appearances, I like that Halle isn’t publicly showing off a potential relationship between Olivier and Nahla. Plus, I give Halle some credit – she might be screwed up about men, but I think she’s likely a great mom, and she knows what’s right for Nahla.
Olivier makes my skin crawl. He and LeeAnn Rimes could make squinty eyed babies together.
@PrettyTarheel- you read my mind! His squinty eyes are as bad as Rimes!
I haven’t thought the guy was even remotely hot since Unfaithful.
I hope Halle is cautious when introducing men to her daughter. I don’t know if she is serious about Olivier or not, but I believe he broke up with Mira Sorvino when she wanted a family & he didn’t. Just sayin.

No way she should be introducing new guys to her kid at this point. Way to soon. Just my 2 cents.
It looks like he has sand in his eyes! What’s up with that??!
I am over Halle she needs to grow up. Her daughter is the cutest thing in hollyweird and should be her #1 priority.
Do you REALLY think she’s not bringing him home? I mean, she may not be calling him her boyfriend to her daughter, but there’s no way he isn’t at her house- these two are in the “spend every minute you can in bed” stage of their relationship, and unless Nahla has an army of nannies, which I haven’t ever seen her with, that slimey Olivier is probably spending time with her.
God, I think Gabriel Aubrey is yummy.
Slower is definitely better when introducing a new person. Kids need time to adjust to the divorce first and then only meet someone the parent has been dating for a while. That way, if it doesn’t work out, no harm done and the kids don’t lose someone else from their lives over and over again.
can’t see how any of halle berry’s future boyfriends will make one jot of difference to the little girl. she’s born into the life she has, her mother is high maintenance hollywood in spite of her uncomplicated image, and that is that. nahla is destined for an intersting life. it’s the way things are in that life. olivier martinez and whomever comes after him won’t change a thing.
theres pictures of nahla, oliver halle and salma hayke and her daughter floating somewhere out there, so yes oliver has been intorduced to nahla, another one that going to have lots of uncles
God she’s beautiful
Kate Hudson is the worst for that. How many “uncles” has that kid met now?
Olivier to my eyes has got more of the Zelleweger squint, in the second photo but totally does the Rimes squint in the last photo – good call Prettytarheel I hadn’t noticed this before.
Gabriel had better get used to it. There are going to be lots of uncles trooping through that house in the next twenty years.
Olivier is known for being a cheater so I would have been more cautious to whom I present my daughter.
She hasn’t been wise choosing partners except for Gabriel that also seems a great dad.
I buy this more than the “he approves” article – everything I’ve ever seen or heard about Gabriel seems like his daughter is his #1 priority, so I certainly think he would be concerned about her potentially forming attachments to people that might not be in her life in a short amount of time.
Not only is Gabriel hot as hell, he seems like he has a good head on his shoulders. He is doing what every good parent should do…put your child first.
*sigh* As much as I think Olivier is a hottie and Halle is a hot mama that can get any man she wants, Gabriel Aubry is so damn fine. A 10 out of 10, if you will.
I don’t think HB is casual about bringing boyfriends around her daughter, and as far as we know, it’s boyfriend, not boyfriends. A man who wants his ex back will use the kids as a pawn in the “I don’t want him around my kids” game. Why would he say to the press and not discuss it privately with his ex? I call BS!
I doubt Gabriel Aubry wants Halle back so bad he’s sabatoging her relationship through his daughter.
It’s best to take it slow and see if a relationship sticks before introducing children to the boyfriend/girlfriend. Break ups are hard for kids because so often they become so attached to their parents dating partners. And if kids experience parental break ups over and over where they lose people they care about, it takes a toll on them emotionally. It’s like a loss over and over and kids of course will blame themselves.
Also, Olivier is known as a player. So Gabriel has even more reason to worry that he’ll be out of Halle’s life sooner than later leaving both Halle and Nahla heartbroken. I’m sure he’s said something to Halle already.
I seriously hope Halle isn’t shacking up with Oliver. Who knows how long she’ll be in this dick haze? It could end tomorrow or sometime next year. Until they are in the we’re getting married, this is a long-term committed relationship phase, Nahla doesn’t need to be exposed to Mommy’s new man. Same goes for Gabriel. If he has a new girlfriend, she doesn’t need to be introduced to Nahla until it becomes serious.
Why should we assume Halle Berry is a good mom and knows best when it comes to bringing new men home to meet her kids?!
Either way I agree with everyone here and especially agree with #8.
I really do wonder how screwed up Halle is when it comes to relationships with men.
She has always been the martyr in her stories. How all men treat her so bad.
But I am really wondering if she is just a cracked pot.
As long as Halle’s happy. That’s what’s important.
No way Halle’s going to sacrifice for her daughter.
Nahla better learn to deal.
What does she want with that wrinkled old prune? Halle is too hot for him!
#23…why should we assume that she’s NOT a good mother and circumspect about the people (boyfriends included) she allows around her daughter. None of us are there, so none of us know.
Wow. What a downgrade from hot, sensible Canadian to pallid, squinty, history-of-cheating frenchman! This is one of the many heartaches of breakups/ divorce: you have a lot less say over how your kids are raised than if you were there, as a family unit.
Oh, and downgrade for Halle from pretty, soft hair to spikey, gelled cockatoo hair.
People reported in early October that Halle introduced Olivier to her Mom Judith and her daughter Nahla. Also, after he flew over from Paris he was seen with his luggage and her going into her Beverly Hills mansion, driving her Aston Marton and Lexus. And this after dating her only a couple of months. If I met a man, moved him in my home, he is driving my cars and I introduced him to my daughter after only a couple of months I think my family would be staging an intervention.
