Berry is now opening up about the custody case for the first time, and reveals the former couple has managed to resolve things.

“When there’s a child involved, it’s a relief when you can resolve things in a good way. Our issues were never about fighting for her,” she tells Extra in a fresh interview.

“We both know a child needs both her parents. But what I want to say about it is sometimes, as a couple, you reach an impasse. We need a court and a judge to help us work out some of the delicate issues,” she explains.

“And I’m so happy we’ve arrived at that place – because for her sake, this is the best way. We both love her more than life.”

A report earlier this week claimed Berry had pulled out of the Broadway production of `Mountaintop’, costarring Samuel L. Jackson as Martin Luther King, Jr., due to the custody case.

But a source tells People otherwise. “She didn’t pull out of the play because of custody issues,” says the snitch. “She had a conflict of work.”

The source added, “Halle was never going for full custody. That wasn’t what it was about. Whatever the outcome, she wasn’t trying for that. There were just other issues that they couldn’t resolve and therefore the courts had to intervene.”
