Berry dated Chicago dentist
John Ronan from March 1989 to October 1991.
[66] In November 1993, Ronan sued Berry for $80,000 in what he claimed were unpaid loans to help launch her career.
[67] Berry contended that the money was a gift, and a judge dismissed the case because Ronan did not list Berry as a debtor when he filed for
bankruptcy in 1992.
[68]
According to Berry, a beating from a
former abusive boyfriend during the filming of
The Last Boy Scout punctured her
eardrum and caused her to
lose eighty percent of her hearing in her left ear.
[15] Berry has never named the abuser but has said that he is someone well known in Hollywood.
[15]
Berry first saw baseball player
David Justice on TV playing in an
MTV celebrity baseball game in February 1992. When a reporter from Justice's hometown of
Cincinnati told her that Justice was a fan, Berry gave her phone number to the reporter to give to Justice.
[15] Berry married Justice shortly after midnight on January 1, 1993.
[69]
Following their separation in February 1996, Berry stated publicly that she was
so depressed that she considered taking her own life.[70][71] Berry and Justice were officially divorced on June 24, 1997.
[72]
Berry married her second husband, singer-songwriter
Eric Benét, on January 24, 2001, following a two-year courtship.
[32][73] but by early October 2003 they had separated,
[73] with the divorce finalized on January 3, 2005.
[74][75] Benét underwent treatment for
sex addiction in 2002.
[76]
In November 2005, Berry began dating
French Canadian model
Gabriel Aubry, whom she met at a
Versace photoshoot.
[77] Berry gave birth to their daughter in March 2008. On April 30, 2010, Berry and Aubry announced their separation.
[78]
After their 2010 separation, Berry and Aubry became involved in a
highly publicized custody battle,[79][80][81] centered primarily on Berry's desire to move with their daughter from Los Angeles, where Berry and Aubry resided, to
France, the home of French actor
Olivier Martinez, whom Berry had started dating in 2010 after they met while filming
Dark Tide in South Africa.
[82] Aubry objected to the move on the grounds that it would interfere with their joint custody arrangement.
[83] In November 2012, a judge denied Berry's request to move the couple's daughter to France in light of Aubry's objections.
[84] Less than two weeks later, on November 22, 2012,
Aubry and Martinez were both treated at a hospital for injuries after engaging in a physical altercation at Berry's residence. Martinez performed a
citizen's arrest on Aubry, and because it was considered a
domestic violence incident, was granted a temporary emergency protective order preventing Aubry from coming within 100 yards of Berry, Martinez, the child with whom he shares custody with Berry, until November 29, 2012.
[85] In turn, Aubry obtained a temporary restraining order against Martinez on November 26, 2012, asserting that the fight began when Martinez threatened to kill Aubry if he did not allow the couple to move to France.
[86] Leaked court documents included photos showing significant injuries to Aubry's face, which were widely displayed in the media.
[87]
On November 29, 2012, Berry's lawyer announced that Berry and Aubry had reached an amicable custody agreement in court.[88] In June 2014, a Superior Court ruling called for Berry to pay Aubry $16,000 a month in child support (around 200k/year) as well as a retroactive payment of $115,000 and a sum of $300,000 for Aubry's attorney fees.[89]
Berry and Martinez confirmed their engagement in March 2012,[90][91] and married in France on July 13, 2013.[92] In October 2013, Berry gave birth to their son.[93] After two years of marriage, and rumors of a separation, the couple announced they were divorcing.[94]
