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.

Hey wait a minute……to this person who said that black or bi-recial people age slower…..sorry but that´s such a BIG FAT lie!
Have you seen Will Smith?…….he is still in his thirties and looks like 50!…….same goes for his wife.
I´m not saying that white people age slower either- it always depends- but please don´t be stupid saying things like that.
The only people who really age slower than the rest are Japanese people—-just look at them, 40 year olds look like 25!!!
I think that for halle berry, we don’t have to think about racial matters because she’is interracial herself. She has been very disappointed by her past relationship with black men, i am sure of this. Now she is trying something else and i don’t think she’s not happy with him. i just see a woman who has learn is lesson and try to take relationship diffrently.
If the boyish looks of Will Smith make him look 50 like black said, then Tyra banks looks 100, Usher looks 75 and Mario looks 65.
Kelly075 you’re probably right. Posters really should cut Halle some slack think she’s just trying to be cautious and learn from her past mistakes regardless of whom she is with. I think it’s more of a confidence thing than anything else with Halle and always having every aspect of your life seem like being under a magnifying glass may give her the appearance that she may appear to some unhappy is my guess.
Agree Gabby looks pretty well tweeked (stoned) to me as with most close ups of them (the only one he looks less so was at the Carousel of Hope Gala). Halle’s not too far behind. Yes I know she’s a diabetic and has to watch her alcohol. Agree don’t think the bags under the eyes are from stress or doing the horizontal bop.
Sorry if I am all over the place with this - I don’t know about biracial people, but black women who age like Iman are an everyday sight. I didn’t believe it until I got a little older. I personally know many black women in their 50s without any wrinkles in their faces. No botox either. When I hit 35, I looked around at co-workers who were my age (some even younger) and I saw that I don’t have the wrinkles and fine lines they have. I’m now in my 40 and still have no wrinkles. I certainly look younger than Brooke Shields and I haven’t had any procedures. I’m not special. I see it a lot. I have no special regimen, except that I exercise a little and have never smoked, done drugs or exposed myself to the sun. I need to lose a “little” weight, but until then, I try to keep my current weight stable.
No more ramblings.
If a black person stays in the sun, they’re going to blow it. Their skin takes on a leathery appearance. They still may not have a lot of wrinkles, but they just look old. Older blacks who suddenly get sick (hear attack, stroke) can age greatly overnight.
Caucasian women seem to do better if they have thicker skin (born with it) or some extra fat. A little weight in the face goes a long way. Most of the famous ladies all get botox. That’s why Demi Moore and Sharon Stone look like that. Yes, you might see a few who really look good, but when they get older, most of them look old without some help. Their skin is too thin.
Will Smith looks older for other reasons. Maybe stress. His skin is not wrinkly though. Check him out on the Internet. I think that having children made Jada age, but she still doesn’t have a lot of wrinkles. Maybe she’s too skinny. Her face is thin. She has a harsher look to me.
Brad Pitt is very handsome, but his skin already has a lot of wrinkles. I think the Asian thing is mixed. A lot of Filipino and Korean women look better than Japanese. I think Japanese look super old when they are old. They’re just usually healthier than the rest of us.
Cool to hear your opinion about this!
But if I for example look at my mother (she is 42, 4 kids…and white) and than look at other actors, they seem to be worlds apart.
My mother has no wrinkles at all. (and she smokes)
It´s just all about the genes!
Brad Pitt has wrinkles, but he is 42 or 43 after all…..and Will Smith is 37 I think, and I´ve seen close ups of him and he really has ALOT wrinkles…..he´s going grey already.
I´m not saying that black people look older or anything, just that it varies in all races.(but Japanese people really look young!!….and I´ve seen alot of reports related to Japan)
My sister was once invited to a college party with mostly japanese people, and later discovered that the majority of them was over 30- but all of them looked like 20 or younger!
when a man is prettier than you, you shouldnt date him.
John…no joke Gabby is as gay as a gamma goat w/several of my gay male friends agreeing…I wonder how he/his staff or Berry/her staff have kept it out of the tabloids this long, etc.
For the poster/s making comments about how the posts are probably bringing them closer together is precisely what Berry probably wants since her ploy of having a baby by the time she hits 40 didn’t work, I would put it past her to try to trap him into marrying her, he seems dumb enough. She does have 9-10 months until she hits 41! Seriously, doubt she’s going to have a gay man’s baby. Good god, I hope they use protect if they really have sex as often as she alludes to. That crap on Conan about her donning her Storm Xmen suit, whether it’s true, she told the same story to the press (forget the publication) about hers and Benet’s spicy sex life, which we all know where that went. So I seriously think their relationship is total bull.
First! What makes him nice. BECAUSE HE’S WHITE and a MODEL! PLEASE! Second, they are in the honeymoon stage of their relationship. His other foot will drop soon or HERS!! Third, when I saw a clip of them on the red carpet, to be honest Halle looked annoyed or overwhelmed by the pappi. I think like the blogger just stated she was probably thinking to herself WOW I date this guy for a year and extra, access hollywood, and et are already giving him all this publicity for a restaurant that most folks would not have known about if it weren’t for me. I hope she has some ownership in this restaurant as well!!!! It will be because of her if it’s successful. Plus, I’m beginning to look at this relationship as a business deal, why was Halle’s manager there, and why would she arrive with him and not Gabriel, just curious.
You can see an unedited version of them on the red carpet on youtube. Again Halle arrived separately, and again, at times did not seem as into Gabriel, as he is into her or shall I say is into the fame. I personally think he’s using her, and once he’s done milking all her fame and she begins to age, although looking at him, I definitely see him aging terribly, he will leave her, plain and simple. JMO and a feeling I have, but I’m no psychic.
Here’s the youtube video
http://youtube.com/watch?v=vVi0P2F44tQ
I will bet you anything that something will eventually come up in the tabloids in the future with some of his ex male lovers spilling the beans. Just you watch.
Normall white folks age faster than white. Look at Gabriel, he’s fresh into his 30s and you can already see the wrinkles coming.
Justin Timberlake too, he’s only 25 but he is already looking like he’s in his 30s at least. Will just has gray hair, but his face is not wrinkled. All he has to do is put on some dye and he is good to go!!!
Markita…I hear ya. Do agree that Halle may be desperate enough to play that lure game of ‘poor me’/'poor us’ victim. Apparently she really hasn’t learned anything from that 12-step program she used to go to–she ain’t even step one…go back to meetings and get a sponsor who is willing to put up with you and guide you through the steps. Instead of blaming your absentee alcoholic father, other black men or whoever you want to blame for your failed relationships–you are the cause/common denomenator. Dating a young suppposedly rich white guy isn’t going to changing anything until you are willing to take responsibility for your life. I know plenty of white men, professional, rich upper/upper middle class who are drunks, cheat on their wives, beat their spouses or children, so what makes it any different with this guy?
saw the youtube and the entertainment specials with this red carpet event. She DEFINITELY seemed annoyed. And he’s a bit immature in terms of how he acts. He lacks a certain confident cool swagger. to be honest, I want to say he’s beneath Halle. Halle definitely deserves better. YEAH he may be a model, but looks wear out quickly, and personally I don’t think he’s all that! Plus, Halle made one comment on the red carpet that had me thinking, hmmmm…
She told AJ (the extra reporter, whom she seemed to be more engaged with) that she and Gabriel were going to dance and celebrate (she said it very dull, by the way, no excitement). Gabriel then said, “you’re putting me on the spot babe” and Halle looked at him and in a somewhat stern tone, like you need to have more spice to your step, “good!” You can catch the clip on http://hallemariaberry.net. You be the judge. Halle at times says he’s a very good man, but then she looks to the side after saying it — interesting body language. I think she’s bored in this relationship and I think half of what she says is just recycled material. Eric was a “very good man too” on the red carpet. She also said on the same clip, when asked about Gabriel’s cooking, she said he is the only one who cooks in “MY HOUSE!” It was interesting because she caught herself. She was going to say, “our” but she put it back to “her”. Homegirl is definitely watching her back with this one, I don’t blame you Halle!!!!
And I have to say to you all (whispering LOL!)….the one man Halle definitely lights up about when she discusses him, is Hugh Jackman!!! On one interview, after talking about Gabriel, she gave her standard answer…I’m happy, in a good place. But in her next breath she was like “I LOVE LOVE LOVE Hugh Jackman, LOVE Hugh Jackman.” She even told “The View” that Hugh Jackman is her perfect guy. She also told Hugh Jackman himself on TRL, the one thing she hates about him is the fact that “he is married.” And this was said while she was dating Gabriel. To Halle: OKAY HONEY CHILD!!! I see you are settling for seconds, or maybe even thirds LOL!
Lastly, looking at Gabriel, he looks like he can’t work it, if you know what I mean. He’s too soft. Halle needs someone to break her back!!!! LOL!
Agree with the other poster. This is either a business deal, and they are together strictly to help him and his restaurant and their versace campaign. Or just a temporary jump off for halle, that she probably is getting bored with. And for the record, a year together ain’t ish! She was with Michael Ealy off and on almost for two years or a year and half or something.
What???? You’re right on the money with this. Of course he’s using her. I noticed in some of the pictures that Vincey her manager was there. No one in the mainstream public knew who the frick he was until started dating her as well as the bit of the restaurant which I hear has had mixed reviews.
I read on another site who was supposed to be there and decided not to show that this would be Halle’s one and only time that she’d probably show at the restaurant (sounds like a clue to me that all’s not what it appears to be). So, if he’s the one, why isn’t she in NYC more often than him always flying out to LA? Other than what you suggested it is getting to sound more and more like her not showing up at DJ baseball games preferring to be in Malibu at the home he bought her than at the ballpark.
Also heard the bit about her being a no show in September for doing the surprise guest hostess thing some Saturday–really can’t see her serving someone drinks, yeah right.
Don’t know if she’s a silent partner or what, can guarantee if/when the restaurant goes belly up, she ain’t going to get her money back, don’t think she needs that much of a tax write off.
This relationship does not look like a long term thing!!! The longest I give them together is Halle’s typical 2 to 3 years. If she marries him, although she said she never would marry, 2 years dating, and again Halle’s typical 2 years married = 4 years!
Plus, I tend to believe that most men want to have their own children. if Halle does not supply, Gabriel will be looking elsewhere! Trust!! And since halle does not want to marry again (rolling eyes) I will suspect they will not go the surrogate route because by not getting married and allowing Gabriel to leave if he just wants to, would make it difficult, I would think when it comes to custody of the child. So I don’t see halle giving Gabriel his own child, especially with the lack of security and true commitment in the relationship!
Okay now some of you may not be fans of halle. But I will have to say that I am. I have followed Halle since Jungle Fever/Strictly Business days. Based on the pics above. It definitely looks like Halle is tired or something. I personally believe she is in need of something more. Like a family. This guy is young and just another dude she is dating. To be honest, when she first started dating Eric, she seemed more happy with him. At least in public. When she was dating Michael, there were photos of them kissing on the beach. Them kissing in the car, although they knew the pappi were on their tails. Now DAVID JUSTICE, say what you want about David, but Halle was SPRUNG on the dude, if not still sprung. She was the one who asked David to marry her! And David was the one who dumped her! Sooooooo based on what I’ve seen in terms of body language and comments Halle has made about her previous relationships…this thing with Gabriel seems kind of rehearsed! She says a lot of the same things about Gabriel that she use to say about Eric. AND YES she said Eric and her used the storm suit in the bedroom too, STOP THE NON-SENSE HALLE!! Find a regular dude, who will not need you fame to up his career, adopt some kids, and move toward the next phase in your life. Right now she seems very childish with this guy. At least with Eric, who had a daughter going into the marriage, Halle looked more complete. She didn’t just shop and eat every day. With Eric and India, she would go bike riding, skating, go on vacations, theme parks. YEP!! HALLE you need a family. And I can’t compare this relationship to Demi and Ashton’s because number one, Ashton is a lot more established than Gabriel and quite frankly seems more cool! And Demi has children, so she has a certain completeness on her own. Halle on the other hand, wants this YOUNG DUDE to complete her or to fill whatever void is in her life. Halle, haven’t you been there and done that! Learn your lesson girl. It’s unfortunate because David has a family now, Eric has his daughter and is enjoying his life as a cat daddy LOL!, and Halle is pretty much raising young dudes to be men!!! STOP THE MADNESS!!!
I personally believe this guy is Halle’s second choice or someone she thought would be perfect to start a family with, since according to Halle, he too does not want to get married (that sounds fishy to me, him already knowing he does not want to get married, sounds like he’s going to ride this train for free!). I think Michael, if he were to have children with Halle, wanted to marry her. He seems like a more traditional guy and not someone who would just do something on a whim! Because looking back, Halle was with Michael like in October of ‘05, if not Nov. And then all of a sudden she’s with Gabriel. So it’s either, she dumped Michael because of compatibility issues, it can’t be because of looks, because Michael has a certain sexiness and coolness about him, that I don’t think Gabriel could ever touch or like I said, Gabriel is just someone who is down with the whole non-traditional route of relationships and living on the edge when it comes to bringing children into a situation that is not stable.
With regard to the comment about Halle widening her options. Halle has dated white men in the past. And one of them tried to milk her for her money when she was married to David. And who supported her, DAVID! And who supported Halle during the hit and run incident ERIC!
David has said on the record, that he does not hate Halle, she is just someone he was not compatible with. He is now with someone like him, who from what I hear he really loves. Now he might still be cheating, but to be frank most relationships deal with infidelity (80%). Now with regard to David dogging Halle. He left her, so it was not like he was sleeping around and not telling his wife and having her think their marriage was A Okay!! He left, which I thought was mature.
Eric, who knows, he obviously has problems. But Halle was smart enough to leave the situation too. This guy, I would almost bet money that his problems will definitely start to show. They might even be worse. To be honest, I thought it was tasteless to have all of that media at the opening and to have Halle in the middle of all that. HE IS SUCH A USER!!! HE KNOWS D*MN WELL ALL OF THAT WOULD NOT HAVE HAPPENED WITHOUT HALLE!!! WAKE UP HALLE!!!!
Yep! Looking at the red carpet event! Either Gabriel is dumb or he was high! He definitely has a drug look about him. Now if he is putting Halle onto that stuff! I will officially become a Halle hater because that will just be the icing on the cake. Homegirl is a mess!!!
To: EntertainmentTonightJunkie Says
Definitely noticed that about Halle and Eric. Eric admitted that he felt uncomfortable in that space. Ironically, Halle seems uncomfortable in this space with Gabriel.
Don’t like them as a couple either. But deg some of ya’ll are definitely keeping it gutter on this site LOL!
My spill: I find Gabriel to be quite goofy and agree with the other poster, a bit beneath Halle. I think she is forgetting her maturity (i.e., age) and quite frankly her experience in relationships. Why she would revert back to the same old bull ish! I don’t know. This whole restaurant business and the media is just WRONG!!! I live in NYC and I have never heard of an UNKOWN restaurant having all the media outlets at the restaurant just because it’s opening!!! ESPECIALLY IN NY, where there is a restaurant literally on every corner!!! Halle is crazy to trust this guy LOL!!! He KNOWS HE NEEDS HER TO JUMP START HIS STUFF!!! Dang, I really don’t have a good feeling about this guy! I saw him talking and looking all giddy on ET or something. All I wanted to do was break his neck, because it was the type of giddy like…Dang! I’ve got this b*tch to jump start my small restaurant. It’s not like this is the 40/40 club, with a major star backing it and restaurants all around the country and eventually the world. This is a small cafe in NY!!! I’m just too threw!
And I’m not going…well….unless I hear Halle is there LOL!!!!
(continued) regarding my last comment “…unless Halle is there…” DEG!!! I guess I just fell for the okey doke!!!! Gabriel is a good manipulator!!!! Because I really would go just to see if Halle is there, and what does that mean! Money for his a***! I need to hold it together!
