There isn’t really anything new in this Us Weekly story – it’s just their version of a confirmation of the “romance” between Halle Berry and Olivier Martinez, which People reported/confirmed days ago. But Us Weekly has their own sources, and those sources are romantics. The basic story is that Halle and Olivier are not “just boning” as I would have thought. According to these sources, it’s a very passionate, intense romance. Sigh… damn, the sex must be awesome and nasty, right? It’s always nice when two sexual freaks can get together and be “intense.”
Nice rebound, Halle Berry! Months after her announced split from longtime model beau Gabriel Aubry, Berry was been spotted this week in Paris kissing, cuddling and holding hands with a new handsome hunk: Olivier Martinez, her French costar in Dark Tide, a currently-shooting thriller.
“Yes, it’s a romance,” a source close to Martinez confirms to UsMagazine.com.
Berry, 43, and Martinez, 44 are “sharing an intense passion,” the insider adds. “They were instantly attracted to each other” when Dark Tide began filming in South Africa a couple months ago.
Perhaps best known in the U.S. for his role as Diane Lane’s super-sexy extra-marital lover in the flick Unfaithful, Paris-born and raised Martinez dated pop singer Kylie Minogue for about four years; they parted ways in 2007.
After nearly four years together, Berry and Aubry, 34, announced their split this May. They share a daughter, Nahla, 2, and have been spotted spending lots of quality time together with their little girl.
Berry recently told Vogue she and Aubry are “still friends, we love each other very much, and we both share the love of our lives…[he is] an amazing father.”

My take – and this judgment comes from reading Halle’s most recent interview in Vogue – is that Halle is still screwed up about men and relationships, and she is truly and honestly not looking to jump into another relationship. That being said, I think Halle likes to get laid, often and well (good girl). Even though the tabloids and their “sources” are praying that this will be an intense relationship that lasts months and even years, I doubt it. Halle and Olivier might be able to hold this sh-t together until the film opens next year or whenever, but my guess is that Halle is going to be all “see ya, bitch” in a few months or sooner.
Just another boy trying to fill the very large shoes of Billy Bob. Ask Brad, he can tell you.
Two words: No Shame.
Isn’t her ex supposed to be in Africa with her to care for their child? I don’t know…there is something uncomfortable about the situation. This is purely a relationship based on lust. It won’t last too long.
God look at her legs!! I’ve been working out with weights for years and my legs don’t look as good as hers do!! Good genes help too!!
Perhaps Halle is looking for another stud to father another baby for her. Seems to be her goal these days.
this guy has had a hundred relationships!
help me with this: juliet binoche, mira sorvino, kylie minogue, elsa pataki (spanish)…
good genes and a serious trainer.
i would rate the action at a 10
How intense is the sex? He is French. Can you imagine a Frenchmen’s tongue speaking a lil French ON YOU? Oh yea. Intense. Oh yea. Thats on my bucket list, go to France, See the Eiffel Tower, have incredible sex with a French guy. Go Halle Go.
Amazing what a nose job did for her career. She is so beautiful now.
Damn. They are definitely boning.
I’m still sad things didn’t work out with Gabriel. Nahla is beautiful and it would have been nice for them to have another child. That said, I get why it ended — Halle is screwed up regarding men.
They’re definitely having intense sex. Crazy people give the best sex (at least that’s what I heard) and Halle is definitely off.
@geenie: Two words: No Shame.
ITA I don’t think shame is a word that’s
used anymore 🙂
Halle’s screwed up when it comes to men and may inflict the same fate on her daughter as a result of the example she sets.
Sigh. If only single women with children could postpone their own gratification, or at least keep their sex life quiet, for their children’s sake.
Selfish and immature is no way to go thru life. Especially when you have kids, or a kid, who are so vulnerable and needy for their mother’s time and attention.
Children should be THE priority…but we all know that when your caught up in new love or lust, everything else takes a back seat.
I still say she will run back to Gabe when its over.
Why do we put SUCH glory behind casual selfish sex???? is this really the standard we have to aspire to these days?
To number 7, Angelina, have higher dreams loves. . .wow. . .
I don’t wanna sound like one of “those people” but my God! when did using people become such a good thing?
Damn we are a shallow bunch of bastards and proud of it. . . sad.
What happened to Elsa Pataky???
Go for it. You only live once and if you aren’t living, you’re dying…
@WOW – sounds like someone needs to get laid. Apparently you’ve never had good sex before. Sorry, I had to say it. (and I’m only ribbing so don’t get up in arms)
Seriously though, there’s nothing wrong with casual sex as long as both parties are mature enough to see it for what it is and are safe about it. It’s not always “using” someone if you have a good sexual chemistry with them. You CAN have a sexual relationship with someone and still respect them as an individual. People are such nosey puritans these days. Beside, the commenters’ (and Halle’s) sex lives have nothing to do with you, so why do you care whether or not they put it on a pedestal or appreciate a good lay from time to time? Stop judging and worry about your own life and vagina, cause I can guarantee no one else is concerning themselves with yours.
I was just giving my opinion like everyone else was.
I was expecting your type of answer though. Predictable.
Like I said, I believe people are worth a little bit more then just what’s in their pants. But apparently I’m a freak for having that kind oponion…
my mistake.
@WOW Nothing wrong with loving someone but if you arent in love and not looking for it at the moment, a great lustful filled exciting lay is the best thing in the world.. I should know, I am in the same boat as Halle and loving every minute of it… No one is getting hurt, we are having fun… Chill already!
so that’s who that guy is! well well well. & omg. have fun with that girl.
@ WOW…you are not alone. I feel as you do. People have been so brainwashed by the media they will do anything. Looking at the history of the 2 people in question on this post…I say something is way off about the both of them. If sex is all they’re after than they shall surely get it. But…2 months from now Halle will be whining yet again how abused she feels. Blah & Yuck!!
@spinner… get over it.. aparently you’ve also never had a good lay…
@WOW people are worth more than what’s in their pants, and no one is saying differently. My problem with your post is that you’re presuming that because someone engages in casual sex, they don’t value themselves or other people. That’s a very large and frankly closed minded logic leap. The point of my original post was this – not everyone shares your opinion of sex and it’s their right to do so, just as it’s your right to keep it in your pants if you so choose too. But you shouldn’t come to such bold and disrespectful conclusions about someone simply because of their sexual habits. You say people are more than what’s in their pants, but you’re mighty quick to reduce someone’s entire being to their opinions on casual sex.
Okay, I guess that can be fare enough. I might be jumping to conclusions myself and if I am that’s wrong. I don’t know Ms. Berry so I shouldn’t persume to know her or her habits. That I think I can agree with.
But I’m sorry, I still think its using someone for sex. You can call it respect or whatever, but I see it as usng something for sex. And its not just that, didn’t Berry name her child based off of something Biblical and God and all that?
But that’s another element of contradiction there and that’s another debate. . .
Give me more lectures people. . .
@ Lisa…ha ha ha!!! You poor thing. You have no idea. While you are busy with your ‘casual sex’… I have been with the man of my dreams for years now.
i see your point, WOW.
my main problem with this sort of thing is that children are involved. once you become a parent, your values and priorities (should) change. i agree that two consenting adults should be able to do whatever they want, but to those of you who say they are not hurting anybody– i believe you are wrong. nothing good comes of parading a long line of casual bed buddies around for your impressionable little girl to see
i also do not believe that *most* women can truly have casual sex without forming an emotional attachment. we aren’t wired that way.
i had a college roomie who would go out every night to the clubs looking to “get laid” by the hottest piece that would have her. she swore up and down that she just wanted sex– an uncomplicated one night stand. i am not exaggerating when i say that she ended up in tears, “heartbroken” every single time!! she talked a big game, but the reality is that she was looking for love, and when the next day came and her phone wasn’t ringing, she felt used and dejected.
now men… are an entirely different story 🙂
Well, this time, when a man breaks up with her (for the 40th time), he won’t cite “the age difference.” I love them as a couple!
@minnie: thanks for saying what I was not able to express, but you summed it up for me, sex has never been casual. I was socialized 50 years ago, and its hard to overcome socialization but for some of us sex can never be causal 🙂
Look can be deceiving!
Ooh la la! Over 75 per cent of FRENCH people have bad sex lives, survey reveals

@WOW There is nothing wrong with causal sex. As long as you practice safe sex if you see a fine piece of ass and they stimulate all the senses you need stimulated. Go for it. All my senses need to be stimulated before I give a man a piece of this, my five senses, intellectually, and physically.
I have bigger dreams than to bone a Frenchman. It is on my list of things to do though. LOL
This all seems like an elaborate promotion scheme
@spinner, who said my casual sex wasnt the man of my dreams moron!
@LoveAng-I have been to France many times and if ONLY they all looked like Martinez! 🙂
I can’t believe he’s really 44? I thought he was so much younger for some reason….
Good for Halle. Go get ’em girl!
First, Gabriel Aubrey and now this guy? Dammn Halle. Damnnn. She gets all the fine men. Lucky girl. YES, I’m jealous. 🙂
@ WOW
ITA
At least she’s not with Mel Gibson.
@Kitten LOL I am sure they aren’t as handsome as Mr Martinez but thats ok. As long as he is sweet and smart and nice and speak some French ON ME. I will be satisfied.
I can’t wait to go to France someday your so lucky.
poor halle… she tries so hard. I don’t know what in the world it is, but she never has a successful relationship.. wtf?
@ WOW – I totally agree and thank you for reminding me how easily we are influenced by the media.
With that said…I’m still kind of jealous. He is hot!!!
I tried to refrain from commenting on the casual sex topic, but I’ve tried it and quite honestly it’s not all that it’s cracked (no pun intended) up to be. In my experience it’s relatively impossible to not get snagged up in some kind of back-end (again, no pun intended) from it, whether physical or emotional.
There’s another phrase for casual sex — intimacy avoidance. Wiki ‘attachment theory’ to understand what I mean.
I don’t think women are designed to compartmentalize that way. Usually it’s about the connection for us females… right?
Why are all these whinney windbags complaining about Halle and Gabriel? THEY. BROKE. UP. What is all this nonsense about her lack of regard for him by dating another guy? Wasn’t he supposed to be seeing someone else anyway? And how is Halle supposed to be crazy and screwed up about men?
@ Chris
LOL Mel Gibson! Comment of the day!
Forget French men, go for Italian. Trust me, girls. 😉
Lol, definitely not casual for me. Always feelings. I am so from the 17th century:)
@Mikunda: Good on you. I worked in a nightclub for awhile and found the meaningless sex to be a bit of a drag after awhile. You’d sleep with someone one week and then the next week you’d see them leaving the club with someone else. Once I got to the point where it no longer bothered me I knew it was time to quit.
OMG my mom met Halle in Fashion Week in NYC last night she told Halle she was beautiful and Halle said you are beautiful too (very sweet). All that French man lovin must have put her in a good mood!
@Mikunda: Lol, “definitely not casual for me. Always feelings. I am so from the 17th century:) ” 🙂
Halle’s always been overrated, go to any african american sorority in the country and you’ll see almost every one of the girls are far prettier than Halle has ever been.
And they’re in college, educating themselves and using their minds looking for respect from men.
Halle’s desperation in the man department has gotten old. Girlfriend, you should have figured out something about men in your 20’s, not still be acting like a teen idiot in your 40’s.
Fishburne’s daughter may not know what she’s doing career wise but her taste and judgment in relationships rivals this old girl.
This guy gets bored easily with women so I hope Halle can handle that. She comes off as being so needy. Men no like the needy wench. Unless, they themselves are needy and who the hell wants that? That being said, it’s too bad she doesn’t concentrate on her family obligations instead of flinging with this actor, who I might add is looking a bit on the old side these days.
What happened to Halle’s Vogue statement of “not settling, her wisdom learned and finding romance”? She won’t find it with this womanizing douche bag. And no he was not faithful to Kyle Minogue during their relationship. I am quite sure there are a lot better men to be with just for the sex than this guy. The only thing she will get from him is possible a disease. From the Jaime Fox crotch grab and now roaming the streets with this dude while Gabe is watching their daughter…Halle needs her head examined.
