LOS ANGELES — Model Gabriel Aubry is seeking thousands of dollars from his ex Halle Berry to pay for an expensive new home, clothes for their daughter and other expenses, according to a new report.
Aubry, who dated the actress from 2005 to 2010, filed legal documents asking a judge to force the Oscar-winning actress to give him $15,000 to $20,000 a month for a new home, according to the gossip site TMZ.
The 36-year-old says he wants the couple’s daughter, three-year-old Nahla, to be able to live in the expensive surroundings she is used to.
Aubry also wants Berry to pay for trips to Canada, so he can take Nahla to visit his family, and cash so he can buy her new clothes.
A hearing on the matter was rescheduled for April 9 and the actress is said to be fighting the request.
The former couple has been embroiled in a bitter legal battle since an alleged argument between Aubry and Nahla’s nanny in January.
Berry wanted a court order blocking Aubry from having contact with their daughter following accusations he assaulted nanny Alliance Kamdem while she held Nahla and repeatedly yelled and cursed at her in the presence of the child.
A judge dismissed the request citing lack of evidence and recommended that Berry and Aubry kept joint custody of their daughter and took parenting classes.
Last month the 45-year-old actress filed a court petition requesting permission to relocate the toddler to France, furthering rumors she is engaged to her current partner French heartthrob Olivier Martinez.
