Halle and Martinez were last seen together on October 17 while shopping in Sherman Oaks with her daughter Nahla, aged seven, from the actress' relationship with model, Gabriel Aubry.

According to TMZ, Berry made the filing and it was added that the two have a prenup and according to Celebrity Net Worth, she has a fortune of $80m.

According to the site, the marriage unraveled in the past week after they hit a 'breaking point.'

They had been fighting over his incident at LAX, where Olivier hit a man with a car seat and in mid October was sued for it.

The incident is reported to have made a bad situation worse.

According to a source, the divorce had gone smoothly and hitch free, since they are both in agreement over wanting the divorce.

'The relationship had run its course,' said a friend. 'They are keeping it amicable now.'

The insider also said that Halle, who told InStyle in 2007 'I will never, never get married again' , was 'okay.'

This will be Berry's third divorce and Martinez's first.
