Halle Berry to live with ex

Halle Berry and Gabriel Aubry will live together this summer so he can look after their two-year-old daughter Nahla.

The Oscar-winning beauty and her 34-year-old former partner - who split up last month after five years together - have failed to come to an agreement for care arrangements of their daughter while the actress is filming in South Africa, so the Canadian model has decided to travel with her to care for the tot.

A source said: "Halle is going to pay Gabriel to be a kind of full time nanny and to come to South Africa for the three months she's there, and to be Nahla's full-time caregiver.

"Halle has a huge house that's being rented for her and she and Gabriel are going to try to live under the same roof and get along for the sake of Nahla.

"Heaven only knows how that's going to work out, as they haven't been on the best of terms lately, but they do both love their daughter so maybe they can make it work."

However, the 43-year-old actress is said to be so concerned about the living arrangements she has come up with an alternative solution should things not work out.

The source explained to RadarOnline.com: "Halle has got a contingency plan though. If it doesn't work out with them both living in the same property, she has agreed to rent a house for Gabriel near where she will be staying, and then he gets to look after Nahla all day while she's working, and return to his place at night.
