The pair ended their marriage all the way back in 2015. They share one son, six-year-old Maceo. In October of 2015, the couple confirmed the news that they were separating with a mutual statement.

At the time of their split in 2015, Halle had to file for divorce twice from her now-former husband. The actress originally filed papers in September 2015, using pseudonyms in place of their real names. Olivier didn’t agree to use fake names, so he filed his own petition shortly after. Halle submitted the new documents in October 2015, using her real name, Olivier‘s real name, and their son Maceo‘s real name, according to TMZ.

In case you missed it, Halle recently teased fans with a possibility of a new romance in her life. Earlier this week, the Oscar-winning actress shared a photo of herself lying in bed with her feet resting on the feet of a mystery man. “Waking up Vegas! Thank you for all the beautiful birthday wishes from my friends and my very supportive and loyal fans! You ALL helped to make my birthday extra special,” Halle captioned the Instagram photo.
