Halle Berry’s Boyfriend Opens Cafe Fuego
You wouldn’t have known about this restaurant opening if not for Halle Berry, but her boyfriend, perfectly tousled hair male model Gabriel Aubry, had an exclusive tasting last night at his brand spankin’ new NYC restaurant called Cafe Fuego. Forget the food though, Halle looks berrylicious!! Halle, 40, and Gabriel, 30, have been dating for over a year now…
Gabriel is the co-owner of Cafe Fuego with business partner Stephane Bibeau (pictured below). OK magazine reporter Delaina Dixon also pictured below.

Give it up. Wasting posts. Hugh’s dead issue. Stirring in an empty pot.
Enough with Halle and Hugh. Nothing will ever happen between them. Enough with the Hugh bashing…Peeps you’re not alone on this one.
Hey hype!
I saw the View interview too. Barbara if memory serves looked rather sternly at Halle with a look of disgust saying something about she should date a doctor or a lawyer or something and that she was coming from a place of care and concern. The look on Halle’s face was priceless as she shrunk back on her seat on the couch. Seems Bawwah Wawa put her in her place that day.
OMG…the comments on justjared.com have exceed the comments on concreteloop.com. They really don’t too happy in both videos. Hard to believe 447-486 viewers have seen the spot on youtube.com, makes ya wonder if it has any influence on why the place hasn’t been packed regardless of how packed everyone was claiming it was when it opened in August and that it takes awhile for a restaurant to flourish? Looks like the expected results from last Tuesday’s event may be backfiring for Aubry?
Don’t laugh at me for having a weak moment for looking at the latest issue of the Star to read up on TomKat’s wedding. They had Halle on the A-list of invites. Don’t remember seeing any pix of her there or reading anything about her being there. Maybe she chose to be with her boo instead.
To TomKate
Halle is not very social with the hollywood scene. She has said so, plus, most pics just show her shopping and eating by herself or with her fugly man. And yes I’ve been to Cafe Fuego as well, it is really not all that. It’s almost like they microwave some of their food. Plus, what cuban restaurant serves Irish Oatmeal!! In NYC there are plenty of other cuban restaurants! I will never waste my time with Cafe Fuego again!!! To Hype!!! I definitely agree with you and I won’t believe the hype either!
Unfortunately I don’t think Halle has dumped Gabriel yet, or he her. Halle is much too needy to just leave a relationship, even if she is as bored as she looks in the photo above. Halle seems to treat dating like a job, she won’t quit unless there is another man waiting for her.
To Breaking up…I thought it was just me about observing how Halle treats dating like a job/work project or a personal conquest of a goal instead of being something more spontaneous, etc.
Ugh don’t know…seriously doubt it that Halle actually went to TomKat’s wedding regardless of her being an A-lister. I am sure Aubry knows she’s bored, definitely out of the honeymoon phase, don’t if this time if/when they breakup if Halle will have Aubry’s replacement all lined up in the wings. I do think it is ironic for Halle saying in articles she doesn’t need to be married or have a man in her life to validate her, yet she seems to always or almost have one on her arm–a tad of a contradiction. Have also heard from several people about the microwave food thing as well as not all of the food looks like pictures of the same dishes that the have posted on their website (www.cafefuego.com).
Don’t think Halle’s appearance and media hype is really going to help the place in the long run, just more hype which just goes to show ya regardless of Halle being on the A-List she doesn’t have that much drawing power. No wonder she couldn’t a bunch of her projects off the grown since winning her Oscar, etc. Seriously, don’t think if they had a major singer or group (I leave that up to you to pick) will be/would be able to help or save the place. Agree with the posters who said the place will survive or fail on its own merits with or without Halle’s endorsement. Don’t know if it’s a karma thing or not and were being to see both of their true natures come out. This is starting to sound too deep.
From what I have been reading here from a bunch of you that this Aubry guy may possibly not be that great of a guy to be running a restaurant. Let’s hope he doesn’t blame Halle or take it out on her when it starts to further sour. She has nothing to do with it’s success or not. Whether her shaking her tatas the other night helps the place who knows, it doesn’t look like it has from what some of you all that have been there have been saying. So there may truth in what has been said about him being possibly inexperienced. When your in any business dealing with the public there is no excuse whatsoever to be rude to a potential customer or giving poor food or service. regardless of having a bad day personally,etc. Sounds like Aubry may have possibly over his head with his new venture. I hope he can turn it around. Don’t think his ego could take the blow. Think it is beyond him possibly working on his interpersonal communication skills. Having experience as a cook and eating at some of the finest restaurants (according to him and his publicist) doesn’t make him an expert in running a successful restaurant. The venture is totally an ego booster for him and definitely all hype.
Still nothing new…. want some new photos Jared! Please!
Not related, but Will Smith was on Oprah with his son, a cutie pie. Looking great. Will does not look old. I’ve seen someone say that somewhere on this board. His skin looks fresh and smooth. I love Will Smith. He’s a good man.
Just keep the blogs coming, even though a lot of you keep saying the same silly stuff again and again–Gabriel looks gay–he’s fugly–he’s using Halle–the relationship won’t work–the restaurant won’t survive…… YADA YADA YADA
Oh yea, this will let JJ know how FANTASTICALLY POPULAR this couple is! Talking about karma and all that is pretty WEAK. Halle is a good lady. She’s poised, caring and sweet. She is a lovely person. What has Halle done that deserves payback? Come on, you can do better than that. I can’t think of any SANE person wishing harm on Halle or her beau… unless they are racist, hating white people in general or jealous of their beauty or wish you had their money. But then again, there are a lot of NUT CASES out there! I’m not surprised.
Halle’s got a handsome hunk on her arm. Let me say it again and make you cringe….. Gabriel is HOT!!!!!! Smokin hot! Of course, Halle won’t dump him. He’d have to do something A LOT worse than being white. They’re both making money and are flying around here and there. That’s exciting. It spices up your love life. How can they ever get bored with each other? Changes in scenery and shared experiences only deepens your love. Go Halle!
to Go Halle:
Do you know them? Because a lot of folks in the industry don’t necessarily agree with you, when you say halle is a sweet person in relationships. As a friend I’ve heard she’s cool, but in relationships, I’ve heard from people who actually know her, she has some issues. Well…OBVIOUSLY!!!!
Agree that Gabriel is in over his head if he thinks he can run a successful NEW restraurants (restaurants have 98% failure rate) and still cater to Halle (flying back and forth, buying homes in Montreal, having children, going to premieres, managing a modeling career, etc.) and unfortunately, he has opted to have an independent restaurant, not a franchise, so it somewhat requires his hand-ons expertise. I’ve heard from folks there that Gabriel does not seem to be the business mind though behind this venture, he’s more the creative (he decorated the place) and perhaps even the money.
Also to Go Halle: Somenoe being “HOT” does not make them a good man. I think that’s part of Halle’s problem, she’s extremely superficial when it comes to choosing a mate. Also, agree she’s full of contradictions. I have also heard her say she’s not a part of the Hollywood scene, and YET she ONLY seems to date (at least long term) hollywood guys. And then she wonders why they fail. At the end of the day, a man’s going to do what a man’s going to do, and when you add popularity, ego (I’ve got Halle, so I can get anyone else), when screaming how fine you are, and money…Halle, who already has trust issues, will have a lot to deal with when it comes to this one in the coming year or so. I remember when Eric was Mr. Perfect and Mr. Handsome, etc. He sang that song to Halle on the NAACP Awards (Spend My Life With You), he handed her a tissue, held her stuff for her - homegirl was sprung and show a lot of passion for Eric, more actually than I’ve seen her show for Gabriel, but after a while I guess going through relationship after relationship it gets old. But Eric, similar to Gabriel, was somewhat her servant. Halle and the world thought she had met prince charming. He was even crying like a baby when she won her Oscar, YET at the end of the day, he was cheating even then - after Halle had told the reporters, similar to what she’s doing now, “isn’t he a good man.” Halle will soon learn, you have to look deeper when it comes to a man. Forget the looks, forget that he might cook for you a few times, look deeper.
Good responses Question. To Go Halle: SSDD, huh. Looks like you’re the one who keeps repeating themselves, while there are a bunch of the people saying some of the same thing, either their bored and unoriginal or they may be trying to bring home a point. The reason there aren’t any new photos of them is probably because they aren’t any plus JJ may be being more cautious from their shopping faux pas photo which was taken a week or so earlier and posted at the beginning of the month. Guess the papps like taking their pix more in LA who knows?
Who does not have issues in relationships these days? They are terribly difficult to maintain. Married people are falling off the track left and right — Eddie Murphy after so many years; now Chris Rock and his old lady. Halle dating famous men is perhaps her way of trying to find a more successful black man.
We know Halle has issues re: relationships. She has stated it. It still doesn’t mean she’s evil. Anytime you break up with someone, there are two sides to the story. I don’t care about her relationships and how she goes about them. It’s her business. I just hope she has found a nice man who love and treat her right. Gabriel’s BEAUTY is just an added cherry on top. I’m glad she is a beautiful woman who is with a guy who complements her very well.
You’re right above, hotness does not make a good man, but so far, I don’t see what is bad about Gabriel. I’ve heard some of the arguments and I’m still shaking my head with, “What has he done that’s bad?” It’s like so many of you are just looking at every teeny weeny detail to use to destroy his character, when he’s just a man. I would also wish that someone would be man or woman enough to just put it right out there that, “YOU DON’T LIKE HALLE WITH A WHITE MAN!” Just stop the foolishness already. Stop trying to pretend it’s something else about the guy.
Gabriel may not know about the business side of owning a restaurant, but I think he will be successful in something. That’s what Halle needs. A smart, independent, loving man who is cute to boot!
You never know whether a man is a jerk until he becomes a jerk. Gabriel is probably still trying to impress Halle, I’m sure his warts will begin to show.
If I did not like Halle with white dudes, I would have never supported half her movies! LOL! The color has nothing to do with it! THIS relationship just give me a funny feeling and you are annoying me with this “he is perfect than thou” attitude. These people are human beings, one should never worship a celebrity, they often disappoint. I’m just somewhat giving you are possible warning, Gabriel may not end up being what you think he is.
Maybe you are right, but I sure hope not! I hope that Halle is being smarter and more cautious in this relationship and that Gabriel is being real with her. I can’t help myself really, because I just think they are both so beautiful together and so different. I thought Halle was beautiful with David Justice too and also that actor Moore, but unfortunately, it did not work out.
I don’t believe that by dating Gabriel, Halle has turned her back on all black men. I don’t think she said, “I have had four bad relationships in a row with black men, so now it’s time for me to try the white guy to see if he is better.” I honestly believe she was just attracted to Gabriel physically.
A few people here said they wouldn’t give Gabriel a second glance, but I say, of course you wouldn’t if your mind isn’t OPEN to finding white men attractive. If you are like me and you notice beautiful men of every race, I don’t see how you could call Gabriel Aubry’s looks “everyday” or “ordinary.” His looks are indeed extraordinary, even among white men.
Time to go watch “Casino Royale” now. No more of my ranting for today. I’ll check back tomorrow.
Go Halle…have you checked any of the celebrity photo storage sites? Most of them especially splashnews.com are the ones that sell most of the photos that to the others as well as to most of the internet tabloids. Check them out as well as: rexfeatures. com, wiredimages.com, getty.com, newscom.com and there are others that I can’t think of off hand. Generally, type in her or their names and the current photos will appear. Some may ask for guest codes or have click on certain code icons or click through pages. They’re fairly easy to navigate. Think most of the only current photos of them together are still from last Tuesday. Let me kow if you have any questions.
meant…gettyimages.com
Thank you “Pix” for referring those websites. I will check those out. Happy Thanksgiving to all here.
Not related: free review - Movie “Casino Royale” was okay. I can’t get into Daniel Craig as Bond. Good actor, but he doesn’t do it for me. Not elegant enough and definitely not handsome. Could use some height and/or bulk and deeper British accent. My opinion.
Back to Halle: Of course, I just had to check to see…. nothing new still, so will not waste time or get anyone upset. Will return when something new here.
yeh heard he did the interior decorating, may explain them always furniture shopping in NYC or LA, doubt all of the stuff was for “her house”. BTW Gabby what’s w/the Frida Kahlo art for the place. Nice as it may be, Frida’s a Mexican artist not Cuban. May need to brush up on your art history other than Halle suggestions.
So what…Of course, she/they’re in Cali. Didn’t think they’d spend Turkey Day in NYC. She doesn’t look sick to me. Splashnews.com will probably have more photos instead of that Russian/Polish Site.
They probably are together for the holiday probably in LA or somewhere in CA. Regardless if those are current pix or similar looking to the pix from this summer grocery shopping together (Halle had the same outfit on) at Gelsons from this summer–if I can find the link I will post it (remember seeing it somewhere on her imdb.com board or some other site from this summer). Not to start anything, just giving more info to Go Halle and the others.
For future reference:
Do know that Splash and the others do recirculate old photos to the other photo sites, etc. and also mislabel pix i.e. the golf photos from Miami from this Spring/Summer, the photos from this summer of them walking from her HH home to her mothers/him taking the parking tix off her car, other pix of them walking together in LA, Halle with her manager going to lunch/back to office saying he was her bodyguard, pix of her shopping with either her sister/female body guard saying it was her mother, etc.
Splash acknowledges that sometimes sites and themselves that they do that (recirc. photos-I have email correspondence from them regarding release dates in the past and their response was that the other sites i.e. Newscom, The East,Rexfeatures, etal regardless of when they release or re-release certain photos, they know when they are actually taken).
Also, when splashnews.com has new photos they’ll usually be on their first couple of
pages then the reshuffle them with the other ten pages. Checked SPLASH–THE ONLY PHOTOS OF THEM ARE ON PAGE 10–WHICH ARE THE THREE SETS OF PHOTOS FROM LAST TUESDAY’S BASH, they would have them posted before anyone.
