Halle Berry has spent years shielding her children from the spotlight, but her eldest is now stepping into it on her own terms. Nahla Aubry filed a declaration in Los Angeles Superior Court defending her mom against abuse allegations made by Halle’s ex-husband, Olivier Martinez, according to Hello! The filing offers a rare glimpse of the quiet young woman who grew up far from the paparazzi her mom fought so hard to keep away.
Keep reading to learn more about Nahla, her famous family and what she said about her mother.
Nahla is the only daughter of Halle and model Gabriel Aubry. Halle has long kept her kids out of public view and pushed for stronger protections against photographers who chase celebrity children, so Nahla grew up largely away from the cameras.
She hit a major milestone in June 2026, when she graduated from high school in Los Angeles. Halle cheered her on alongside her partner, Van Hunt, while Gabriel attended the ceremony separately. Nahla now lives away from home and is attending college.
Nahla is 18. She was born on March 16, 2008, in Los Angeles, during her parents’ relationship.
Halle and Gabriel split in 2010 and spent years locked in custody battles before they settled on joint custody of their daughter. Nahla also has a younger brother, Maceo-Robert Martinez, whom Halle welcomed in 2013 with Olivier.
Nahla’s filing arrived days after Olivier accused Halle of abusing Maceo during an argument on September 26, 2026. He alleged that she choked their son and had made racially charged remarks toward him in the past. He asked for sole custody and was granted a temporary restraining order, though the judge allowed Halle’s contact with Maceo to continue.
