Halle Berry And Husband Olivier Martinez Living Separately Just After 8 Months Of Marriage

According to reports, Hollywoods Halle Berry and husband Olivier Martinez are living separately after barely eight months of marriage.

Berry and Martinez announced their engagement in 2012 and tied the knot in July 2012 at Chateau des Conde in Vallery, France.

The couple have not been seen together in public since after December 7, which makes the rumour of their split seem more true.

47-year-old Berry is now shooting her new CBS series, “Extant,” in Los Angeles, while Martinez, 48, has been busy working on “Revenge” in a guest-star role that starts Sunday on the hit ABC show.

Berry attended the post-Oscars party solo and was not wearing her wedding ring.

3 Good Reasons Why Parents Should Say Sorry To Their Kids

It isn’t easy for parents to make an apology to their child. While some parents think they will lose the clout they have, others think admitting a mistake will make them less credible in their child’s eyes. However, apologising to your child actually inculcates good behaviour and commands respect.

Reasons why we should learn to say sorry: 

1. It makes you a good role model: Children learn behaviour by imitating the adults around them. When you lead by example and accept your errors, it sets the precedent for model behaviour you want your child to exhibit. You’ll be teaching him/ her that asking for forgiveness doesn’t make you a weaker person, that it’s actually the honourable thing to do. 

2. They learn how to do it: Watching you ask for forgiveness in all sincerity teaches them how to do it right. Children are more intuitive than grown-ups, and tend to unconsciously pick up the nuances of their parents’ behaviour. So, if you own up to a mistake, your child is more likely to take responsibility for her slip-ups, with you and with others, in appropriate ways. 

3. It makes you more approachable: By accepting a goof-up, you will be treating him like a friend rather than talking down to him — something no child appreciates. This also makes children and tweens realise that even adults are capable of erring and unintentionally hurting others. So, your child is more likely to feel comfortable around you. He won’t be afraid to come to you with his problems.
