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.

Can anyone say Visene and concealer for the both of them? What’s with the arguing and long posts?

It’s interesting you mention Nate Berkus. Nate said on the Oprah show that Halle asked him, either jokingly or FOR REAL, whether he would be interested in helping her get pregnant (through a sperm bank of course). He said she and her mother thought he would be perfect because he’s gay and would just offer the sperm and nothing else. Nate said on Oprah, I think semi jokingly and somewhat offended, that why would he not want to be a part of the child’s life just because he’s gay, he said of course he would want to be a part of the child’s life. And this is on the record, so for those who want to say some folks are just hating on Halle, check out Oprah’s transcripts or archives. Nate in fact said this and shared this with the world.
With all that…I have to agree, I think Halle was just looking for a baby daddy. Michael with his apparent belief in family, probably was not down for that without some type of real commitment and this new guy, well who knows.

OMG!!!! You saw that too on the youtube piece!
Halle’s manager giving Gabriel a pat on the back or something, like “you did good son” LOL! I thought I was the only one who noticed that!
Plus, Gabriel at the end of the piece seemingly was uncomfortable with the rapport of Halle and AJ. He was trying to get halle inside, but halle wanted to continue to talk and joke with AJ (who’s married by the way), and I want to say she told Gabriel to wait a second, and then he kind of went back inside and out of the conversation and AJ and Halle continued to talk. Gabriel eventually started to pull Halle in, if you ask me, I think he’s just as insecure as Halle.
To Admit IT!
Who in the H*ll would be jealous of Halle dating some puny, skinny, pale white dude. I am for sure not jealous. I just know scum when I see it.
Jealous! Thank you. I don’t know of anyone either who would jealous of either two. Think Admit it was just trying to stir up the stuff with Flo and GSF, I seriously doubt they are the same person, and if they are who cares and isn’t a reason to be immature.
HM–don’t know what that was all about. I agree I think he did very poorly in the media…a definite F-.
For the posters who mentioned that Halle probably gave him money for the restaurant—bad business move unless she suddenly became rich as Oprah or money to possibly lose—even the Small Business Administration hates to give money to restaurant start-ups because of their faltering survival rate. So let’s hope it’s a success. The relationship is definitely a business deal. Don’t think if he would be a keeper and the place would go belly up would definitely cause disharmony in “her” not “their” (lol) home/s.
Actually, I think he is more insecure than she is. I don’t see him on the romantic scene for very much longer.
For the posters who have made the drug references, both that ain’t cool to be lit up on nationally syndicated TV as well as having your gf high too. I am glad I am not the only who thinks he has looked fried in several other pictures of them.
But then if I was bored in a “relationship” with a goofy immature and probable gay guy too, I don’t know if I’d be under the influence to keep up appearances. I know that is not a good excuse. Let’s hope Halle’s not turning into Whitney Jr. which can explain the lack of her appearance over the last several months–and I don’t think it’s that she’s more comfortable wearing less make,dress more casual,etc. like other posters have mentioned.
Another clue besides the shopping, and doing the interior decorating of the place would be who’s his favorite female singer. Thank God AJ didn’t ask him that one! So, if his answers would be (not in order): Judy, Barbra, Liza, Cher, Madonna, Celine, Patti, Peggy (Lee), Wynonna, Diana (Ross) or Tina (I know I am forgetting others)—there’s a very good chance the bf needs more than just a “spice” in his step.
We definitely know Halle wears the pants in this relationship. She was definitely bored out of her gourd at this one. Still think it’s funny all the hoopla to a neighborhood that is under going revitalization but is full of crack/dope addicts, tattoo parlors, etc. Don’t think I will be eating there. Doubt it or the “relationship” of convenience will last.
I seriously still doubt Halle is still planning to have Aubry knock her up especially with the statistics. Even if Aubry doesn’t have a problem (yeh right), Halle does have (as well as her sister ) have a 50+ % (not sure if it’s that high but it’s close) chance of having a child that may become chemically dependent growing up in an alcoholic home. Do know if the child has ADD/ADHD or other disorders it is almost a sure thing since they already have a chemical imbalance. Don’t think she’d take that much of a risk. The though of paying him to do sounds sooooooooo desperate even though she has said no money would be involved (asking for money,etc.) to if she had a child by a current partner…well it’s pretty obvious her manager wasn’t just there to coach Aubry or escort Halle in that neighborhood. Who knows what their relationship really is or isn’t or what “business” arrangement they have.
This is a new day, and this topic can go on indefinitely, but I’m not going to be the one posting. You guys can sit here and congregate together if you want to… I’ve had enough. I am thoroughly disgusted with this group in general.
People have a lot to be jealous about. How can any of you possibly ask a question like that? It’s obvious. I would think that a black woman married to a Jewish man wouldn’t be so catty. You would be the voice of “reason.” I don’t trust any person on this thread or on the Internet in general, so I am not concerned with how truthful you are about who you are. I am concerned with the topic.
There is an element in the posts above that yells jealousy and hatred, I don’t know which is greater. The black/white issue is definitely at the center of it. One of you here said he/she is all for interracial relationships. I ask, “For who?” For yourself only?
Black men think they are the only ones who should be allowed to date other races. Their egos are that big. For years they told the lie that they didn’t like white women, but that was because they couldn’t get any. Once white women started dialing their number, they jumped hook, line and sinker. They typically have a lot of trouble with their women doing what they do. So, yes, I think are jealous. They are angry. Halle is a beautiful black woman who has now gone back to the other side. Although, instead of them considering that this guy has something special, they take it personally. I can’t understand it. She’s had several bad relationships. You don’t have to think this one will work, but the things you are saying are evil. There is a lot of made-up information being put out as truth. There is a visciousness in your words, like all you want is pure destruction for this couple. Shame on all of you.
Well, I guess it would have been better for Halle to kill one of her exes than for her to date this white man. So much for the support from the black community.
I think it’s great if Halle wants to date a white guy (and should date whomever the **** she wants) and seriously agree with the posters who say they aren’t jealous (what do they or anyone have to be jealous of I am not getting it) and are expressing their opinion.
Sure, there are probably some that may be jealous or racist on this thread but don’t assume (which I think one or a few of the posters were trying to point out) just because they may express they don’t think Halle and Aubry are gorgeous, he’s simply dreamy, they’d make cute kids, etc. it is because they’re being racist and can’t stand them because of him being White and her being bi-racial, while it may be valid for you to hold that view but to categorize all of them for their opinion and putting them into a special category for it is wrong, no offense. Could they have been more tactful, possibly.
I am more than happy to calmly dialog with you on this subject if you want.
Well things are slightly a little more civil this morning. AI I hope you mean what you say about this being a new day and have put closure on whatever issues you may have with the issues/posters. Don’t pay them any attention. Why get bent out of shape over someone’s intended or not intended ignorance or poor case of manners and decorum and words.
Still waking up after last night…pardon the multiple post…if certain people want things to be rosey dosey with the comments no offense I thought this was a chat group not a fan club then going to her fan club yahoo groups or her MySpace site. Regardless of posters intentions.
just because someone may or may not be genetically predisposed for a particular disease doesn’t mean they or going to get it or not. it just increases their probability and even if someone is at high risk doesn’t mean they will actually get it. there’s always prevention before intervention.
meant their risks are higher than the average person without the same variables of genetics, environment, etc. oopsey…
Well according to a local paper here in the NYC, Halle and Gabriel were not all that loved up inside the restaurant.
I guess the paper had a reporter be a spy at the event, and according to the spy Halle was in a corner for most of the night and Gabriel was off with himself. According to the spy there was tension in the room.
All of this VARIOUS people saw just on the red carpet. This has nothing to do with race or whether or not halle will do better with a white guy or a black guy. For the record, Halle has stated that she has dated the rainbow, in particular white dudes. NONE of them have worked out for her. I think the ISSUE is that Halle has not gotten over her childhood traumas, especially if she is still having this dream with her losing her teeth and her being in high school at the age of 35. She feels valueless and voiceless in this society. Do I think she is? NO! But what I think does not matter, Halle’s mentality is what will control her life.
In the past, Halle has had issues when it comes to supporting her men. David has said this. Eric experienced this. Where that comes from, I don’t know. I have to assume from her father not being around. She has issues with men and not getting all of the attention. Because of that, HALLE did not want to be at this event. And I bet she felt extremely uncomfortable with the fact that ALL OF THAT MEDIA was there. Although we all know it was because Gabriel is dating Halle, but in her mind, red flags are probably popping off, like AM I BEING USED? IS HE GETTING TOO BIG? WILL I STILL BE THE CENTER OF ATTENTION?
Trust Halle was upset.
Here’s a link to the article. Although this is not a national paper, and who knows Halle and Gabriel may stay together for a few more months. I don’t think one can question the fact that Halle was definitely either tired, annoyed, or overwhelmed, the night of Cafe Fuego’s tasting. Body language was flashing!!!!

Click to page 16 for the story!!!
With regard to Halle’s medical or mental issues and her sister. Well, apparently her sister has adopted children, so maybe there is some truth to them not wanting to have children naturally.
ALSO, halle has issues with a lot of folks. From what I’ve read, and from what Halle has said, she and her sister are estranged or have been estranged. Plus, at one point, Halle did not even talk to her own mother for a year because she COULD NOT FINANCIALLY help Halle when she was just starting out as an actress. Apparently, Halle needed $500 for her rent, she called her mom, her mom was like no, and Halle did not talk to her mother for a year!
Halle probably thought her mom was showing tough love and resented that, but Halle’s mom later said, it was just because she did not have the money.
Anyone who can cut off their mother like that, definitely has issues!!!
Now she’s cool with her mom. But I don’t know about Halle…..
OMG! He’s a looker. Gabriel is sooooooooo fine!!!! Oh I wish Halle could have just 1 baby and let him be the father. Cuteest kids in Hollywood, no doubt.
Cant be serious, you can’t be serious about Jay and Beyonce. J is a street boy. No different from all the other black rappers. Unfortunately, not cute either. NOt one iota of cuteness. Gangster type. Not good husband material. Smooth for sure = players, promiscuous, kinky sex- you know how it is. Hope Beyonce gives walking papers soon for a tall, educated, intelligent family man. Also attractive. Must be attractive.
Here’s the link to News’s reference, pix only, couldn’t find any story. Page 11 (photo unless it changed)

There may be some truth to what some of the posters were saying about they really didn’t look loved up or the happy couple. More pictures can be found on two more sites. I am sure there are other photo sites i.e. getty images, rex features, wired images, etc. that may have more shots of them. But these two are going to be more candid.
http://www.newscom.com (type their names in after you click on the free access user/guest names) three pages of pix w/those of them leaving the Club not so lovey-dovey and Aubry does look like he really is toasted.
http://www.splashnews.com/index2.pgi, page 2 (may rotate), 3 sets of photos (7,8, 14 pix), there may be other pix of them from those links, just click on their names on the left when they appear.
So much for the pix from the “crack, smack (reference to the neighborhood) and cognac” ’soiree’. Agree that she probably has invested money in place, it will be interested to see how successful it will turn out (doubt Halle would bail him out again) as well as how much longer they will last or keep up appearances from what a lot of you are alluding to.
For the posters screaming jealousy…what for? why? Why would anyone would be jealous of them as a couple or individually. The thought of always being hounded by the papps, being constantly under a microscope and having my every move scrutinized, etc. really doesn’t sound to appealing to me. Regardless of “how cute” or “how dreamy”, etc. I don’t see that there’s anything to be jealous of.
For the posters hinting at Halle trapping Aubry into having a kid if she helped him with his restaurant is incredulous…seriously doubt it…especially with all of the videos and pix showing that Halle couldn’t really care less about being there and they were as loved up as some of you all referring to from what you all have described in the videos. Did take a look, he really did look immature and goofy and I don’t mean being nervous for the reporters.
Sounds to me that the honeymoon is starting to be over. Who knows if they will last or not? It probably is business, if not, why would her manager be there? Don’t think he was being Halle’s escort. Do think it is tacky for Aubry especially to be that high or snockered. Don’t think Halle was too lit, probably more tired than anything. Also, think it’s tacky for him to use her to promote his restaurant that has been getting mixed reviews.
If he really is gay and think he still pull off being straight, he’s more insecure and delusional than Halle is. Would be nice to see him sober in a photo for a change.
Okay enough with the light in loafers comments, my question is would he really defend her honor or get in fight with a photographer over her? As being jealous of the pair, I think not. The thought of thousands plus people ,while flattering as it may be, nutting/whacking off or rubbing their cl#$*, sounds kinda creepy to me.
Bad job of coaching Gabby on camera. Hope the only reason why he was there with Halle was to coach him and protect their financial investment in the restaurant. I hope Cirrincione isn’t seriously thinking of adding Aubry as a client. Bad move. Don’t think he will do well in acting when he bombed in the interviews and definitely pull off being straight as well as doing a bad job as a gay male escort. Not jealous, just keeping it real. Acting lessons are going to help this boy. I hope the eatery succeeds and Halle makes money on the deal. I still think it’s funny about all the media hoopla since it is not in such a great neighborhood or huge place, it’s a neighborhood place. Seems much ado about nothing.
I doubt her manager would take him on as a client, please. He’s with Wilahmena (can’t spell it). Vincey was probably there as a favor to Halle. If Halle gave him money for the place that’s her business. So, don’t start dogging the manager.
Don’t think she’s going to be giving him money if it does sour or continue to sour. Yeah I heard about the NYT writer on her blog saying that it would be the one and only time that Halle would be there. Sounds like she may know that Aubry is only using Halle for pr. If they were so loving of a couple, I would think she would be there to support him in his endeavor, but as some of pointed out she didn’t do that when she was married to that baseball guy and Benet’s music career, which I know is debatable, was put on hold while playing house husband. Can’t see her flying up to NYC or Miami every alternating weekend to be with the guy.
If Aubry really wants his restaurant to succeed on its own merits then he needs to spend less time shopping, restaurant and event hopping (a few at that) with Halle in LA or flying all over Canada (doubt the marriage in Montreal or house buying thing will materialize) or where ever. Halle may be able to multitask, but I doubt Aubry can. The boy can even shave or comb his hair. I hope he’s sober on the photo shoots.
Sounds like Cafe Fuego is more like Cafe Fiasco. Do think the crack, smack and cognac pun was funny.
Where is the NY blogger page. About this being Halle’s first and last time at the restaurant? Also, you can’t be serious?!!! Halle is actually going to marry this dude in MOntreal. If she does that, I’m threw with Halle. Crazy never changes I see.
