Halle Berry wanted to move to France with four-year-old daughter, Nahla, because her French-born fiance, Olivier Martinez, no longer wants to live in the U.S. and is desperate to return home, Breaking Celebrity News is exclusively reporting.

"The main reason that Halle wanted to uproot Nahla from Southern California, where her father, Gabriel Aubry, currently lives, is because Olivier doesn't want America to be his primary residence anymore," a source close to the situation tells Breaking Celebrity News. "Olivier's family and friends all live in France and he is desperate to move back there. Yes, Halle did like the fact that France has strict privacy laws that govern the press, but that wasn't the reason for the proposed move. The judge overseeing the custody dispute between Halle and Gabe didn't think it was in Nahla's best interest for her to be moved halfway around the world to a foreign country, mainly because contact with her father would have drastically cut."

As Breaking Celebrity News previously reported, Martinez and Aubry were involved in a brutal Thanksgiving brawl after Gabriel dropped off Nahla at Berry's home.

According to a sworn declaration filed by Aubry as part of his application for a temporary restraining order against Martinez, Olivier was extremely angry at Gabriel before the fight started,
