After filing for divorce back in October 2015, estranged couple Halle Berry and Olivier Martinez look to be giving their marriage another try.
A courthouse clerk has notified both parties that if they don’t make a move with proceedings, their case will be thrown out, according to TMZ.
Friends of both actors say they’re in “no rush” to divorce, and are “fine with staying married.”
Berry reportedly isn’t convinced that she and Martinez shouldn’t be together, despite the French star’s obvious anger management issues.
Martinez was sued for $ 5 million in 2015 after video footage revealed that he shoved LAX employee Ronaldo Owens to the ground with a car seat.
“At the time of the incident Ronaldo was employed at LAX and was lawfully in the area,” lawsuit documents obtained by People Magazine at the time read.
“Thereafter, and without any provocation or justification Martinez abruptly turned towards Ronaldo, and brutally and intentionally charged at Ronaldo using an empty child’s car seat he held in his hands as a weapon, striking Ronaldo to the ground with the seat, and causing Ronaldo humiliation and injury.”
Berry was accused of doing nothing to stop the attack.
Right now it seems that Berry and Martinez are “getting along great,” and while they are just friends and co-parents at this point to Maceo, 3, and Nahla, 8 (dad is Berry’s ex-boyfriend, Gabriel Aubry), there is a chance that they’ll get back together.
After filing, a source close to the couple said at the time that they “spent a lot of time working on their marriage,” which has been “a roller coaster from the start.”
Martinez “loved being married,” a source close to him pointed out. “A divorce was never in the plan.”
Earlier this year, another source told People that things were going well.
“Lately, Halle and Olivier are getting along much better,” the source said in March.
“They both came to their senses and are doing what’s best for the kids. They are enjoying spring break in [Mexico].
The divorce is still being finalized, and there is no change for now.
“But there seems there might be a slim chance that they decide to stay married. There is still a lot of love between them.”
