“While I will not comment on all of the wild inaccuracies being speculated about in the media, I am sad to say that Halle and I have decided together to separate at this time," Aubry, a model, confirmed Friday in a statement to Access Hollywood released through his agency, Wilhelmina Models.
"She is, and will forever be, one of the most special and beautiful people that I have ever known, and I am certain that we will continue to have only love and respect for one another."
The couple are putting daughter Nahla first, according to the model. "Her happiness and well-being are the most important thing for both of us," Aubry says. "Please respect our privacy during this very difficult time."
Berry, 43, and Aubry, 34, had been together four years. They first met at a Versace store opening in Manhattan in February 2006.
I'm surprised they lasted this long. It's no secret that Halle wasn't looking for a relationship; just a man to father her child. She made that statement plenty of times. I thought she was going to ditch the guy soon after little Nahla was born, but I guess she really had love for him.....or felt sorry for him and hung on to him for as long as she could stand it. I wish them both the best of luck.
