Radar: Gabriel Aubry wanted Halle to stop nagging, have another baby

Premiere Of Perfect Stranger - After Party

Since everyone has been enjoying every last morsel out of the Halle Berry and Gabriel Aubry breakup, I thought this new piece from Radar might be interesting. It’s very much along the same lines as yesterday’s piece from Us Weekly, which had Halle referring to Gabriel as a “loser” because he “only makes $700,000 a year” and because his restaurant failed. Radar keeps the bad vibes coming, announcing that Halle and Gabe broke up because he couldn’t take her f-cking nagging for one more minute. Oh, and Gabriel wanted another baby, and Halle’s “biological clock was working against” that. Plus, Halle wanted to work, and Gabriel “basically put his career and his acting aspirations on hold when Nahla was born so Halle could concentrate on her career, and now she was berating him over it – it was like he just couldn’t win.” Interesting!

As RadarOnline.com was the first to report, Halle Berry and her boyfriend of five years, Canadian model Gabriel Aubry, split a couple of months ago – with Gabriel finding their age difference of nine years a considerable factor in their break-up.

Since their split, reports have been circulating that it was actually Halle that initiated the break, with claims that Gabriel was not able to contribute financially, and that he was living off of Halle and her celebrity.

RadarOnline.com has learned that while the difference in their incomes did play a part, it didn’t quite play out as Halle’s camp would like us to believe. In fact, it was Gabriel who broke off the relationship, and a lot of it was down to Halle’s nagging about Gabriel’s earning power and in addition, Gabriel’s desire to have another child, something Halle’s biological clock was working against.

“Gabriel is by no means poor,” a source close to the situation tells RadarOnline.com. “He makes a good living as a working, in-demand model. He earns in the region of $700,000 a year, a great income by most people’s standards.

“But still considerably less than Halle is able to bring in financially for a movie or one of her endorsement deals. When they first got together it wasn’t an issue – they were in the first bloom of love and neither of them gave it a second thought.

“As time went on though Halle started getting dissatisfied with how much Gabriel was earning and started nagging him to contribute more. This really grated on Gabriel – he basically put his career and his acting aspirations on hold when Nahla was born so Halle could concentrate on her career, and now she was berating him over it – it was like he just couldn’t win.

“In the end he just got sick of the nagging and how unreasonable he felt she was being and decided enough was enough. In addition, he had started noticing other women and feeling attracted to them, and he’s a nice guy – he’s not the type that would cheat on someone, especially not the mother of his child, so he knew it was time to bring things to an end.”

As RadarOnline.com previously reported, Gabriel is not happy about how he is being portrayed in the media since their break-up became public and also is not happy about the media furor that is now surrounding his adorable daughter.

The source tells RadarOnline.com that Gabriel is currently weighing up his legal options, and even considering launching a custody battle to win the right to move to Canada with Nahla.

“Gabriel’s main concern, and love, has always been Nahla, he will do anything in his power to protect that little girl. If that means moving her to a different country to give her a chance at a normal, healthy upbringing then so be it. One thing is for sure Gabriel will not let Nahla be brought up in some crazy Hollywood media frenzy.”

So, I can actually see this. Not so much the “Halle compulsively nags” thing, but I could see how they came to an understanding that Gabriel would take time off when the baby came so Halle could work, and once they began living like that for a while, the arrangement started getting on both of their nerves. It’s one of those “be careful what you wish for” moments of “Oh, I just want a nice guy who will be there for me all of the time” and when he’s actually there all of the time, you’re like “I wish this bitch would leave me the hell alone.” Oh, and I can see how Halle would use this him-not-working-as-much arrangement against him too, as I think she has been, if that bitchy People article is to be believed.

However… I still hold that IF (big IF) Gabriel is the one who is actually releasing all of these “Halle nags, she called me a loser, wah” stories to the media, Gabriel does sound like a whiny baby. Of course, Halle doesn’t sound like a prize either.

    I don’t know why but I believe Gabriel’s story more.

  2. Sumodo1 says:

    Been there, done that with a gorgeous younger husband with a small income that didn’t compare to mine. He accused me of nagging when I urged him back to work. He got a wandering eye. Then poof! Over.

    No big whup! Quick divorce and doubled down on my career.

    Halle can handle this. No need to point fingers, MEDIA!

  3. annaloo says:

    I believe Gabriel, but I also know what it’s like to have your man at home ALL. THE. TIME. I’ll give Halle a pass for snapping.

    Call me old fashioned, but I don’t think a man should be inside the house all the time. If you’ve ever had to do it, as supportive as you try to be, THERE WILL BE THOSE DAYS…

  4. buenavissta says:

    Hey Gabriel, there’s room in my house for a loving, devoted dad who makes good coin! And Nahla could then grow up in Canada:)

  5. Obvious says:

    i’m willing to move to canada! and my biological clock is ticking!

  6. sapphire says:

    They both sound like jerks with incredibly petty complaints.

    *sigh* But he is SO hot.

  7. pixie says:

    Personally, I think Halle must be a terror to live with or even to have a relationship with. She strikes me as unbalanced. Ever since her hit and run I think of her as a woman teetering on the edge of sanity.

  8. Macheath says:

    I wonder what the response would be if he was ugly. That man is too beautiful to hate even if he was a douche and the sole reason for their breakup lol.

  9. aury says:

    God, she sounds like a bitch more & more as these reports come out everyday.

  10. lrm says:

    i’m bummed-they seemed like a great match,actually. and i believe gabriel,too. i can see it going down this way-he agrees to take time off,wants to be with his kid,she gets tired of the same old same,what she sees as his complacency and passivity,perhaps,and he gets tired of her attitude.
    yep-i think she’s high maintenance,and i am not one to blame the woman everytime or anything.

    i just think he’s a good,down to earth catch.

  11. jeannified says:

    I tend to belive Gabriel, too!

  12. andrea says:

    macheath – totally. he is actually *beautiful*, beyond cute/hot/handsome. i look at the picture and i can’t even focus on what the article says. and yeah, i can buy that halle is a wack

  13. Babouleine says:

    I am on Gabriel’s side also. I remember in the Christmas season she jumped queue at the Montreal airport and it’s was a big scandal here in Quebec. So ya, I think she is an unstable bitch.

  14. E says:

    It’s pretty amazing when a guy can make Halle Berry look average. God! Gabriel is disgustingly gorgeous!!

  15. Snarf says:

    Until either Halle or Gabriel confirms what has now all been credited to by “sources”, I’m calling bullsh*t on these stories.

  16. Carrie says:

    I can’t really figure out whose camp is leaking all these stories, since they both come off poorly in them. She seems like a shrewish, ungrateful nag, and he seems like a pathetic, whiny freeloader, if these reports are to be believed.

    Hmm…

  17. jane says:

    I can believe this story. Sorry, I just don’t like Halle I guess. Can’t get past the hit and run. If you live in the L.A. area, you have to deal with the fact that the police, sheriffs, DA’s, & even the state AG, will totally bend over backwards for celebs, & could care less about us regular people. Friends of ours had their son go missing on the way to his girlfriends house in the LA canyon area. The L.A. sheriffs refused to open a case or help look for him so the family put together their own search party & hired their own helicopters to find him. They found him dead in his car 3 days later. Meanwhile the sheriffs sent several cars to escort Paris Hiltons parents thru the parking lot to visit their daughter in jail. This happens all the time here & we’re so sick of it.

  18. jane says:

    He really is a Greek god isn’t he? If he really does take good care of their daughter and wants to be a family man, then she’s a fool to let him go.

  19. Cinderella says:

    How do you make a woman like that happy. She had an athlete and a musician, both of whom treated her like shit, but the model/stay-at-home dad wasn’t good enough? Whatever.

  20. Reason says:

    Halle will end up with another abuser because that’s what she wants, deep down. She doesn’t recognize who the real losers are.

  21. Ann says:

    This doesn’t make sense. So she was “nagging” and this and that, yet he wanted another child with her?

    They both need to shut up.

  22. Taya says:

    @Cinderella..

    Ditto. I bet Halle was more in love with the guys that treated her like shit then with Gabriel.

    Halle seems like the type of woman who would rather be with a guy that abuses her so she could try to “fix” him, then with a decent man who treats her good.

  23. Hautie says:

    I am curious how a $700,000. income was not enough to “help out”. Even if he had worked less I would think he had a really nice savings. So I find that piece of gossip “suspect”. haha!

    I never once got a vibe off Gabriel that he was desperate to be a media-ho. He seems to have kept a low profile during the relationship. So I am not buying he was using Halle for advancement of his own career.

    I also recall the hit and run accident that Halle drove away from. The one that Oprah helped Halle pay her way out of, allegedly.

    So I am also thinking that Halle’s PR team is desperate to taint his image. Most likely cause Gabriel already told Halle, before it became public, he wanted partial custody.

  24. celandine says:

    Hmmm… the single consistent factor in all her catastrophic relationships seems to be “Halle Berry”. I’m guessing she wanted some sperm, a baby-sitter and the power that comes from being the richer and more successful partner, then she bored with him. Oh well, I doubt he’ll go to waste!

  25. hmm says:

    could he be any yummier?
    good god.

  26. nelly says:

    I feel sorry for them and i think the media is only trying to get money over this story. Splits, weither you’re married or not, are a very difficult thing to handle. No one should judge. Everybody makes mistakes and have they own flaws. I’m not on Halle’s or Aubrey’s side. I just think the media is creating stupid, idiot, and horrible stories of a relationship that months ago seemed perfect. Now that is over, it seems that Halle is a bitch and Aubrey is a looser. What a surprise!!!
    For God sake, just stop! Try to look at your own life before critize the others.
    Relationships ends all the time, for the most stupid reasons, and it’s not the end of the world.
    If Halle and Aubrey were not happy together, i’m glad they broke up. And it seems to me that they are handling this split with a lot of dignity, like i thought they would…

  27. Marjalane says:

    So happy. Don’t care about who said what to who, just happy to see this yummy man on my screen. As far as I’m concerned you can post what he eats for breakfast everyday and I will comment on it. There’s no way I’ll ever believe anything bad about him…Halle Berry is an out-patient in my opinion.

    *Heavy, satisfied, sigh*

  28. oxa says:

    Halle will never be happy with anyone because she aint happy with anyone for long and it is always their fault. You cant have a decent relationship till the one with yourself is right.

  29. Raven says:

    Gabe ol pal, all women nag. Some are worse than others. It’s the way it is.

  30. Aussie Mama says:

    Halle, money won’t make you happy!
    Gabriel, I’ll have yer babies luv and I won’t winge about your 700k income either, that’s a promise hot stuff!

  31. Aussie Mama says:

    That man has absolute “Bedroom Eyes”, phwoarrrrrrr!

  32. stanhope says:

    hey, ain’t he gay? btw the story is always in the eyes and he always is looking out in space “at the camera” not in her eyes…..gay, not that there’s anything wrong with it.

  33. Sincerity says:

    I was so hoping that these two lovely people would take “the high road” and not continually “put each other down” in the press.

    For starters, Halle Berry was not born with a “silver spoon” in her mouth. She and Gabriel had a child at the beginning of one of the worst global economic recessions since The Great Depression. A six figure income is considerably more than the vast majority of people in the world earn. No one has been immune from the grips of this recession including the wealthy who are selling whatever assets they can liquidate due to the tremendous “cash crunch” we’re all experiencing. Perhaps Halle Berry should have chosen a much wealthier man to have a child with since money seems to be extremely important to her. Gabriel seems to have made career related sacrifices in order to accommodate Halle’s wishes and everything blew up in his face. That’s life. Times are tough and men have very fragile egos that are easily wounded. It’s quite obvious that Halle Berry was more drawn to Gabriel’s “potential” rather than who he really is and lacked the patience to weather the rough seas that all relationship have to endure. Gabriel will land on his feet and hookup with a woman who’s not afraid “to roll up her sleeves” and work with him through the tough times which is what truly builds lasting relationships. Somehow, I feel as if, Halle Berry has prematurely “thrown the baby out with the bathwater”.

  34. theresa says:

    When Halle and very hot baseball player Donald Justice broke up I thought, “Poor Halle. She’s young and apparently no one every told her that if you are seeking a monagamous, stable, emotionally and physically available mate, professional athletes are not for you.” Then when she got together and broke up with the also very hot and famous Eric Benet, I thought the same things.

    However, when Halle got Gabriel Aubry, an uber hot, highly paid super model, before she met him, who continued to earn $700,000, while still assuming primary childcare responsibilities, and with no reports of him cheating or abusing her in any way, I thought, “Bitch, please. What you really want is someone to abuse you, cheat on you and generally be awful to you. Gabriel doesn’t need your money because he’s got his own. He doesn’t need you either because, although you are still very beautiful, other women even more beautiful are lining up to get near him. He wants to be a good guy and a great father. That’s somehow not good enough for you. STFU forever.”

  35. Whatever says:

    I don’t know that I buy this latest story. First he says he is a successful model earning $700k a year and now whines that he stayed home with the baby and she calls him a loser? Which is it dude? Considering he was virtually unknown when she met him, I doubt money is her motive, if she is the one who ended it. It isn’t even clear who broke up with whom and since I am a fan of neither, I don’t care. Oh well, so much for taking the high road and being civil to each other. That didn’t last long. Sad for the little girl.

  36. ziggy says:

    gabriel, gabriel! man, you are handsome!

  37. machiavelli says:

    Halle Berry is phony. Period. I have seen her in interviews. She tries too hard to come across as friendly and down to earth. Halle Berry of hit and run, don’t make eye contact, jump queue fame. She has a hot body, but I don’t think she is beautiful.

  38. Jag says:

    I think his camp has done what they can, and they need to stop “leaking” things now. If they say more bad things about Halle, it will be too much. Reading the above, imo, it was just perfect an explanation of why they split and his reasons for a (possibly) ensuing custody battle. Let her people retaliate with digs and bad words, but don’t respond. If his camp keeps going, it’ll turn into the Gosselin fiasco, where people liked him more at first, then turned on him.

  39. Ellen Smith says:

    Halle got what she wanted out the relationship – a baby. Now she’ll move on to the next empty relationship that she’ll screw up. It would be one thing if she were still in her twenties or early thirties to see her move from guy to guy, but she obviously can’t maintain a loving, committed relationship with anyone. Black, white, and in between, I thinks she will find fault with everyone she gets involved with.

  40. Mistral says:

    I don’t believe any of these stories. They sound like pure bullshit.

    Damn, Gabriel is ridiculously beautiful—face, body, hair…YUMMY. He is one of the prettiest people on the planet, for sure.
