Oscar-winning actress Halle Berry and French-Canadian model Gabriel Aubry have decided to end their five-year romance but will remain on good terms for the sake of their two-year-old daughter Nahla."They are working well together and are handling parental duties without conflict," femalefirst.co.uk quoted a source as saying.
Although they were not married, Halle is said to have visited a divorce lawyer three weeks ago to find out about a custody agreement for Nahla.
The former couple have agreed to a short-term plan but a long-term agreement concerning the guardianship of their daughter and division of assets is yet to be decided.
Halle's first marriage to David Justice, a former baseball player, ended after four years in 1997. Whereas her second union to musician Eric Benet imploded after four years when she discovered he had cheated on her.
After two failed marriages Halle vowed not to wed Gabriel because she didn't need to be a wife to be happy.
"I will never marry again. I have a good healthy love for myself and love in my life. I no longer feel the need to be someone's wife and I don't need the validation of a marriage certificate," she added.
