Halle Berry's daughter, Nahla Aubry, has defended her mother against child abuse allegations.
Last week, the Oscar-winning actress's ex-husband, Olivier Martinez, filed legal documents in which he alleged Berry had recently physically attacked their 12-year-old son Maceo.
A Los Angeles County judge granted the Unfaithful star a temporary restraining order, requiring Berry to stay 100 yards (91 metres) from him until the next hearing on 16 October.
The Catwoman actress denied all allegations made by Martinez, and in a declaration obtained by People on Wednesday, Nahla insisted Berry is a "loving and devoted parent".
"I never observed anything abusive about her parenting," the 18-year-old began. "I have never seen my mom hit, slap, choke, grab, or physically abuse Maceo in any way. I have never seen my mom place her hands around Maceo's neck, put him in a chokehold, restrict his breathing, or engage in any conduct remotely resembling the allegations that have been made against her."
Additionally, Nahla emphasised that Berry has "always made time for" her two children alongside her work commitments and "coordinates" their schedules so they can spend as much time together as possible.

An expert has explained Prince Harry's decision to shield Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet from public attention. The Duke and ****** ss of Sussex have been fiercely protective of their kids' privacy since their births. To date, the couple has avoided releasing full-face images of the royal children.
A royal expert has offered insight into why Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's children have largely stayed out of view.
According to Royal Editor Matt Wilkinson, the Duke's own upbringing is key to understanding his parenting approach. Having spent his entire childhood in front of the cameras, Harry is now hyper-aware of what constant public attention can do.
Speaking on the A Right Royal podcast, Wilkinson explained, "My understanding of this, or up to a certain stage, is that Harry would much rather his children were not seen. He doesn't want them to be tapped."
As reported by the Daily Express, he further noted that Markle brings a different perspective to the decision. Having had a private California upbringing, she likely wouldn't feel the same instinct to keep them out of sight.

Blatantly picking your favorite kid is one of those ultimate parenting taboos, right? And yet, Chris Hemsworth hasn't been shy about how he handles the topic with his three kids. Funny enough, when Hemsworth brought up his thoughts on playing faves with family members, it led to a bunch of fans who are pointing out something similar about what Thor does in the ordered Marvel movies. At least he's consistent, right?
Let's talk out this fun connection.
Chris is one of three kids himself, and since all the Hemsworth brothers have paved their own path in show business, there's been a lot of talk over the years about who "the best" is. While one might think that means Chris might treat all his kids equally given that experience, that's not necessarily the case. As he revealed:

Halle Berry spent Sunday with her son, Maceo, before asking a Los Angeles judge to restore the parenting arrangement she previously shared with ex-husband Olivier Martinez. Her request, filed Monday, Oct. 5, seeks a return to their 2023 agreement for 50/50 custody, Entertainment Weekly reported.
A temporary restraining order issued Oct. 1 changed Berry's parenting time but allowed her to continue seeing her son during specified daytime hours. The order covered both Martinez and Maceo, according to records reviewed by PEOPLE.
Martinez sought protection after alleging that Berry physically attacked Maceo during a Sept. 26 dispute. Her attorney, Marina Beck, denied his account and called the filing "entirely meritless and deliberately misleading."
Berry, 60, was accompanied on the Oct. 4 visit by her fiancé, musician Van Hunt. They spent time together one day before Maceo's 13th birthday.
An eyewitness told PEOPLE that Berry chatted with Maceo at a Los Angeles Sky Zone before he joined an indoor soccer game. She and Hunt watched from nearby. When a fan approached for a selfie, Berry declined because she was spending time with her child. TMZ also published BACKGRID footage of the trio shopping at Best Buy that day.

Halle Berry is asking a Los Angeles court to restore the 50/50 custody arrangement she previously shared with ex-husband Olivier Martinez, alleging that their 12-year-old son, Maceo, returns from time with his father "angry and combative."
She is also asking to regain the tie-breaking authority she held under the 2023 agreement and wants the court to require Martinez to attend their ordered therapy sessions. Those requests put decision-making power and the stalled co-parenting process back at the center of the dispute.
Berry's filing arrives days after Martinez sought sole custody and obtained a temporary restraining order against her over allegations that she physically abused their son. Berry has strongly denied those accusations, turning the former couple's long-running co-parenting dispute into an even more complicated court battle.

According to PEOPLE, Berry alleged that Martinez has repeatedly tried to align Maceo with him and against her when disagreements arise over their son's life.

Tyrese Gibson's ongoing custody battle with his ex-wife has taken another turn, with the actor now seeking an arrest warrant against Samantha Lee Gibson over allegations that she violated their parenting agreement by moving their daughter across the country.
According to court documents that TMZ obtained, the Fast & Furious star alleges that Samantha's decision to relocate their daughter, Soraya, from Georgia to Oregon in September 2025 was "premeditated." He also accuses her of failing to facilitate visitation, despite a parenting agreement the former couple had reached just one month before the move.
Samantha isn't backing down. She has opposed the warrant, maintaining that she has primary custody of Soraya and accusing Tyrese of misrepresenting the circumstances surrounding their daughter's relocation. According to her response, Tyrese knew about the move well in advance, and she never attempted to conceal her plans.
COMPLEX SHOP: Shop the brands you love, anytime and anywhere. Uncover what's next. Buy. Collect. Obsess.
But the disagreement over Soraya's move began well before the latest filing. In August 2025, Samantha informed Tyrese that she intended to relocate to Oregon, explaining that the decision followed considerable prayer and reflection. She also suggested that living closer to his Los Angeles home could make extended visits easier.

Kylie Jenner showed her playful mom trick to wake her kids in the "Day in the Life" vlog. She shared a video on her YouTube page, giving a glimpse of how she spends a day from morning to night. It started with waking her two kids — Stormi (8) and Aire (4) — using a clever parenting hack. This definitely seemed to work, as the two children were stirring in no time.
Kylie Jenner's "Day in the Life" vlog showed her using a clever mom trick to wake her kids as part of their morning routine. On her YouTube page, the socialite shared a video of her day with her fans. In it, she recorded herself from morning to night, sharing a glimpse of her daily routine and fun activities.
The 10-minute and 19-second clip started with Jenner holding a black megaphone. She was still under the blanket on her huge bed. Her slightly puffed face showed that she had just woken up as well. While the mother of two was on one end of the bed, her daughter Stormi was on the other side. Initially, Jenner's voice cracked while saying "Good Morning" using the megaphone. It made her burst into laughter.
Then, she composed herself and tried again— louder and clearer. "Good morning, Stormi! Rise and Shine! It's a beautiful day. You are healthy, you are beautiful, you're smart. And we're going to conquer the day. Get up," Jenner woke her daughter up in a ****** se voice. Meanwhile, Stormi stirred in her sleep and tried not to wake up, but failed.
Furthermore, Jenner used the same trick with her son, Aire. She playfully sang, "Rise and Shine. Good morning, stinky ****** ." Then, she snuggled into her kid and showered him with kisses to wake him up with more love and care. Later, Jenner set her daughter's hair before the 8-year-old left for school.

Sampson's comments about "wide love," parenting and the traditional nuclear family have drawn both criticism and support.
You can bet on a few things for sure: death, taxes, and that nearly any commentary on the Black family, nuclear or otherwise, will kick off a firestorm. Just ask Kendrick Sampson.
During a recent episode of Shan Boodram's "LOVERS" podcast, the 38-year-old actor and activist revealed his thoughts on liberation, traditional romantic relationships, and why, while he definitely wants children, he'd rather have them with one of his "homegirls" than a romantic partner.
"I have no goal for that for the end of my life," he said of the traditional nuclear family with romance with one partner at the center.
"Romantic love is the smallest form," he continued. "I think it's the most narrow form. I think you have to understand how to love people on a much deeper level to understand how to care for them, how y'all care for each other, how you grow together and grow each other."

Tyler Herro and Katya Elise Henry's custody dispute became public in September, but newly reported court records show they had stopped sharing a home long before either parent went to court.
Henry and the former couple's two children moved out of Herro's Miami residence in February 2025, according to court documents obtained by TMZ Sports. The filing says Henry and the children had lived with Herro from September 2021 through January 2025 before moving into another home a few miles away.
About 18 months later, Herro and Henry both filed petitions on Aug. 20 concerning custody, a parenting plan and financial support for their two children. Herro dismissed his case less than a week later, while Henry continued pursuing hers.
Herro and Henry were still seen arriving together at NBA Summer League in Las Vegas in July 2026, more than a year after the records indicate they had begun maintaining separate homes.
Herro and Henry both filed petitions on Aug. 20 concerning their two children, a daughter born in 2021 and a son born in 2023. According to TMZ's initial report on the filings, Herro asked the court to establish a parenting schedule and determine his child-support obligation. He also said he had already been voluntarily providing financial support.

The Los Angeles Rams, the heavy Super Bowl favorites entering the season, opened the year in the NFL's first-ever game in Melbourne, Australia, against the San Francisco 49ers. The majority of the attention the Rams have gotten this offseason has been centered on the defensive line, which was bolstered by the acquisition of the NFL's single-season sack record holder Myles Garrett and the return of Aaron Donald from retirement.
However, Los Angeles also has one of the most potent offenses in the league, with reigning league MVP Matthew Stafford passing to two of the best wide receivers in the league, Davante Adams and Puka Nacua. Unfortunately for Nacua, he's been caught up in some off-the-field trouble recently.
Ahead of kickoff on Thursday, Nacua sat down with Netflix's Elle Duncan and spoke candidly about his struggles wth alcohol.
"I think I learned that I'm very avoidant of conflict, which is very interesting due to the football nature of… I would like to say I play very physical, just avoidant of the things that I know were causing me stress," Nacua told Duncan.
"Just, I think some of the change in lifestyle that came up to me, becoming a public figure, the stress of performing at a high level," he responded after being asked what was causing him stress. "And then I recently became a father. My son is 10 months old. And navigating that co-parenting relationship with his mother, I would kind of isolate myself to feel like the weight of all the issues and things that I have was stuck on my shoulders, and not being willing to ask for help. I was never one to share my fears and my worries. I was always Finding different ways to escape, I guess, from that tension or that stress."

Sandra Bullock is opening up about one of her biggest roles yet: parenting teenagers. As she promotes Practical Magic 2, the actress has offered a refreshingly honest look at protecting family time, ignoring one-size-fits-all parenting advice and even finding a way to include her children in her latest movie.
Bullock, 62, is mom to teenagers Louis, 16, and Laila, 13, and says their schedules now play a major role in the projects she accepts. Rather than expecting her children to fit around Hollywood, she chooses work that allows her to be available when they need her.
The actress has previously been clear about where her priorities lie. "I'm not going to sacrifice my time with my kids," Bullock said while discussing why Practical Magic 2 was able to happen. That approach can become increasingly important as children get older. Teenagers may want more independence, but they still need parents who are present and available when life gets complicated.
Bullock also isn't pretending she has all the answers when it comes to raising teenagers. In a recent appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, she joked about how difficult it is to offer universal parenting advice when every child is different.
When asked what advice she would give other parents, Bullock's response was simply, "I'm sorry," before explaining that her children are both completely unique.
