Halle Berry now representing herself in five-year divorce from Olivier Martinez

Halle Berry and Oliver Martinez filed for divorce in October 2015. Five years on, she’s just made an unusual move in the ongoing saga.

Halle Berry has moved to represent herself in her divorce proceedings with ex-husband Olivier Martinez, according to a new report.

The Monster’s Ball star filed to represent herself instead of a lawyer, according to Entertainment Tonight, citing court documents obtained on Tuesday.

Berry’s former lawyer, Marina Zakiyan Beck, signed off on the change on July 30 with the 54-year-old signing on August 11, reports the outlet.

Martinez, also 54, is reportedly being represented by lawyer Laura Wasser.

The Oscar-winner filed for divorce from Martinez after two years of marriage in 2015, confirming the split in a joint statement at the time. The former couple have a son together, Maceo, 6.

“It is with a heavy heart that we have come to the decision to divorce,” they said. “We move forward with love and respect for one another and the shared focus for what is best for our son. We wish each other nothing but happiness in life, and we hope that you respect our, and most importantly our children’s privacy, as we go through this difficult period.”

A representative for Berry did not immediately respond to Fox News’ request for comment.

TMZ previously reported that the pair’s divorce was finalised in December 2016, with the two agreeing on sharing physical and legal custody of their son.

But in May 2018, the site noted that Berry and Martinez’s case was still active because they reportedly never filed a formal custody arrangement and were due back in court.

Berry and Martinez were sanctioned for missing a court hearing in their divorce proceedings, which means not all issues in the case have been fully resolved, according to ET.

Berry was previously married to baseball player David Justice and to singer Eric Benet. She also has a 12-year-old daughter, Nahla, with her ex-boyfriend, Gabriel Aubry.

Martinez was previously in long-term relationships with Kylie Minogue and Mira Sorvino. Maceo is his only child.
