Following the news of Deborah Falconer and Robert Downey filing for divorce this week, another celebrity couple is calling it quits: this time its supermodel-turned-actress Halle Berry and her husband, R&B singer Eric Benet. The couple met in 1999 at a party, celebrating the premiere of Berry`s HBO movie Introducing Dorothy Dandridge for which she won a Golden Globe and an Emmy for Best Actress in a Miniseries or TV movie.
After having been married for 3 years the couple separated in October.
This is a second divorce for an X-Men star and Revlon spokesmodel, who was previously married to former baseball outfielder David Justice.
Halle has made history at the Oscars being the first black woman to ever win the Academy Award for portraying the convict`s wife in the film Monster`s Ball . Halle was diagnosed with diabetes not too long ago and she is an avid volunteer of the Juvenile Diabetes Association.
Benet has a daughter from a previous relationship with a girlfriend who died in a car accident. His first album called True to Myself, was released in 1996.
