In early September, Holly and Olivier received an official document from the court asking how long their divorce papers would remain unused or if they could be thrown out. This same question is of great interest to the Hollywood press, which has been waiting since last October for information about the division of money and custody of the couple’s three-year-old son. Or juicy details about Olivier, because twice-divorced Holly has a habit of burying her ex-partners up to their ears in mud. At first it seemed that she intended to stick to this script this time.

Envy and anger

Soon after the divorce was announced, Holly's press service began sharing information with reporters about what was hidden behind the standard formulation of “irreconcilable differences.”

“Olivier’s upbringing made him sensitive to the fact that in their family it was the woman who made the money,” the published articles said. “Gradually he began to view Holly’s star status as an insult to his masculinity. Hence a caveman-worthy sense of ownership towards her and outbursts of anger that are impossible to predict and difficult to extinguish. Olivier never laid a hand on Holly, but there is a first time for everything. She's tired of living in fear."

In Holly's defense, we can say that domestic violence is a sore issue for her. As a child, she watched her father beat her mother, and later the man hit her so hard that the actress partially lost her hearing. Holly did not name the offender, but the public assumed that it was her first husband, baseball player David Justice.

“I didn’t beat her,” says David, who is heartily supported by the actress’s second ex-husband, musician Eric Benet. “If Holly decided to make this case public, then she should have told it to the end, and not cast a shadow on all the men she dated. Her problem is that she doesn't know how to lose. At first, Holly considered each of us her knight in shining armor, and after breaking up, she made us look like scum.”

Of course, the word “scumbag” was not used to address Olivier Martinez. On the contrary, Holly, through the press service, regretted that her husband’s career had so thoroughly withered that he now needed the help of a psychologist. This made Olivier, who attributed his fading career to moving to Los Angeles for Holly, even more angry. However, after a month of such a dive, the couple calmed down. To all questions, the spouses answered that from now on they are trying to be more tolerant of each other for the sake of the children.

AND SWEET-DAUGHTER

In March 2020, guests of a Mexican resort in Puerto Vallarta were surprised to see Halle Berry on the beach with her daughter Nala, son Maceo and... almost ex-husband Olivier. Contrary to claims that she was afraid to be in his company, the actress looked content and blissful. Every now and then she affectionately patted Olivier, who was lying on a nearby sunbed, in different parts of his body, and he rushed with all his might to fulfill her slightest whim, so that Holly - God forbid! – I didn’t have to get up and bother myself.

Olivier’s friends were not surprised by this unexpected picture of complete family happiness: “He is ready to do anything to make her change her mind. First of all, they still love each other. Secondly, even if they share custody of Maceo amicably, Olivier will miss her eldest daughter Nala. He is attached to the girl and treats her like his own child. But, since he is not biologically Nala’s father, he has no reason to ask for custody of her either.”

Judging by the way Nala trustingly clung to her stepfather at the airport on the way back, she fully shares Martinez's feelings. After the holidays, a wedding ring was again noticed on Olivier’s finger. And Holly told friends that she wouldn't mind keeping him as her husband either, if he took anger management courses. It is unknown whether Martinez is seeing a psychologist, but he has not fought since January 2020, when the actor hit a Los Angeles airport employee with a child seat, who, in his opinion, was too familiar with Holly. The injured employee later filed a lawsuit, claiming that after the attack he lost his ability to work and his faith in humanity. Friends of the couple say the lawsuit prompted the actress to call her lawyers in fear that Olivier would kill someone and she would have to pay. However, the incident was forgotten.

“The longer they drag on, the less Holly insists on divorce,” friends say. “She believed that Olivier could change. Besides, they are both afraid of hurting the children.”

Excerpt characterizing Martinez, Olivier

“Sire, je vous demande la permission de donner la legion d'honneur au plus brave de vos soldats, [Sire, I ask your permission to give the Order of the Legion of Honor to the bravest of your soldiers,” said a sharp, precise voice, finishing each letter . This was said by the short Bonaparte, looking directly into Alexander’s eyes from below. Alexander listened carefully to what was said to him, and bowing his head, smiled pleasantly. “A celui qui s'est le plus vaillament conduit dans cette derieniere guerre, [To the one who showed himself bravest during the war," added Napoleon, emphasizing each syllable, with a calm and confidence outrageous for Rostov, looking around the ranks of Russians stretched out in front of there are soldiers, keeping everything on guard and motionlessly looking into the face of their emperor. – Votre majeste me permettra t elle de demander l'avis du colonel? [Your Majesty will allow me to ask the colonel’s opinion?] - said Alexander and took several hasty steps towards Prince Kozlovsky, the battalion commander. Meanwhile, Bonaparte began to remove the glove from his white, small hand and, tearing it, threw it away. The adjutant, hastily rushing forward from behind, picked her up. - Who should I give it to? – Emperor Alexander asked Kozlovsky not loudly, in Russian. - Whom do you order, Your Majesty? “The Emperor frowned with displeasure and, looking around, said: “But you have to answer him.” Kozlovsky looked back at the ranks with a decisive look and in this glance captured Rostov as well. “Isn’t it me?” thought Rostov. - Lazarev! – the colonel commanded with a frown; and the first-ranked soldier, Lazarev, smartly stepped forward. -Where are you going? Stop here! - voices whispered to Lazarev, who did not know where to go. Lazarev stopped, looked sideways at the colonel in fear, and his face trembled, as happens with soldiers called to the front. Napoleon slightly turned his head back and pulled back his small chubby hand, as if wanting to take something. The faces of his retinue, having guessed at that very second what was going on, began to fuss, whisper, passing something on to one another, and the page, the same one whom Rostov saw yesterday at Boris’s, ran forward and respectfully bent over the outstretched hand and did not make her wait either one second, he put an order on a red ribbon into it. Napoleon, without looking, clenched two fingers. The Order found itself between them. Napoleon approached Lazarev, who, rolling his eyes, stubbornly continued to look only at his sovereign, and looked back at Emperor Alexander, thereby showing that what he was doing now, he was doing for his ally. A small white hand with an order touched the button of soldier Lazarev. It was as if Napoleon knew that in order for this soldier to be happy, rewarded and distinguished from everyone else in the world forever, it was only necessary for him, Napoleon’s hand, to be worthy of touching the soldier’s chest. Napoleon just put the cross to Lazarev's chest and, letting go of his hand, turned to Alexander, as if he knew that the cross should stick to Lazarev's chest. The cross really stuck. Helpful Russian and French hands instantly picked up the cross and attached it to the uniform. Lazarev looked gloomily at the little man with white hands, who was doing something above him, and, continuing to keep him motionless on guard, again began to look straight into Alexander’s eyes, as if he was asking Alexander: whether he should still stand, or whether they would order him should I go for a walk now, or maybe do something else? But he was not ordered to do anything, and he remained in this motionless state for quite a long time. The sovereigns mounted and left. The Preobrazhentsy, breaking up the ranks, mixed with the French guards and sat down at the tables prepared for them.

Kylie Minogue returned to ex-boyfriend Olivier Martinez

Kylie Minogue, after a painful breakup with Joshua Sass, decided to give her past relationship a second chance. The singer did not forgive the greedy British actor, but revived her romance with Olivier Martinez, which ended ten years ago.

Couple again

Fans of 49-year-old Kylie Minogue no longer have to worry about her unsettled personal life. Western media, with good reason, are reporting her reunion with 51-year-old Olivier Martinez, whom she dated for five years.

Rumors that the Australian pop star and the French actor are now a couple arose after an insider reported that the former lovers had dinner together in a Los Angeles restaurant last Thursday. The conversation between Kylie and Olivier at the table could not be called friendly, as they hugged and kissed, he added.

Coincidence?

The paparazzi were unable to get inside the Chateau Marmont, where the lovebirds met, but they captured Martinez riding a Harley Davidson motorcycle as he left the hotel restaurant after a romantic date with Minogue.

It is noteworthy that after this, Kylie shared a photo on her Instagram in which she, glowing with happiness, runs along the corridor of the Chateau Marmont hotel, with a mysterious caption:

"Let's go to!!!".

As journalists found out, Kylie and Olivier resumed communication in early March. Martinez was the first to call his ex-girlfriend, offering his support.

Let us remember that the romance between Minogue and Martinez lasted from 2002 to 2007. In 2005, when the singer was diagnosed with breast cancer, it was he who patronized, cared for and encouraged her in every possible way, however, when the disease was already behind her, instead of the expected wedding, the celebrities announced their separation. Gossips said that the reason for this was the actor’s infidelity, but Kylie personally denied the rumors.
