- Share via
The estranged husband of actress Halle Berry, R&B; singer Eric Benet, is challenging their prenuptial agreement in court as he seeks spousal support from his Oscar-winning wife.
Benet filed papers this week in Los Angeles Superior Court asking a judge to “determine the validity and/or enforceability of the parties’ prenuptial agreement and subsequent amendments thereto,” according to documents posted on the website thesmokinggun.com.
The documents show Benet is asking Berry to pay his legal bills and support but does not know the “nature and extent” of their joint assets and debts.
Berry, 37, who won the best actress Oscar for her sexually charged performance in “Monster’s Ball,” filed for divorce from Benet, 33, her second husband, in April, six months after the couple separated.
