That's where the stupidity kicks in. She convinced herself in the beginning that finances were not a problem. Along comes baby and all of a sudden she wants the traditional man/woman roles. She wants him to help pay the bills and raise the youngin'. Ole dude got a raw deal IMO. I mean unless he started bringing dead beat relatives into the picture; Halle knew what she was getting with him and to all of sudden say it's not good enough is WRONG WRONG WRONG. That's like a man leaving his woman because she got fat after birthing his brat.

Well, kids or no, a wife should do her best to keep herself in shape for her man. But at least I'm fair - a husband has to do the same for his woman. And if he starts turning into Ron Jeremy, she has every right to complain.

True but you have to admit. A guy has an easier time of maintaining. My friends who have kids gained weight (not a whole lot) and it was difficult for them getting rid of those last 10 pounds yet alone the first 15. Sometimes it seems that a pregnant body wants to stay chubby or something. Anyway...Halle is a mess for ending that relationship if for no other reason than she owed it to her child to make it work and give that kid a stable family environment. I swear this chick is gonna end up like Liz Taylor only without the jewelry and the multiple last names.

Can someone please explain how Halle was "footing the bill"? Gabriel is a model. Models make good money, so I don't understand that statement. It just sounds like Halle has issues that prevent her from having a good relationship, no matter how decent the guy is.

A pregnant body wants to stay chubby only if it was chubby to begin with.

So many women blame their fatness on their children. It's not the children, it's the way you ate when you were pregnant! Women decide to eat like pigs when they're pregnant, gain way more weight from that than from the baby, then wonder why it doesn't disappear when the baby comes out.

BECAUSE IT'S FAT, DUMMY. YOU HAVE TO WORK IT OFF.

Sorry. I had to get that off my chest. If you gain 75 pounds during your pregnancy, honey, only 20 of that can be blamed on the pregnancy. If a non-pregnant person sat around eating and indulging until they gained 55 pounds, then started wondering why they weight wasn't melting off, you'd think they were crazy. When you gain weight, sometimes it's hard to lose. Depends on the person.

But 85% of the women who remain overweight after pregnancy fit the above category, and I'm tired of them acting like the baby somehow conspired to pad their asses with ice cream and cheeseburgers.

Sorry, but in my experience it's true.

Those rumors started when it leaked that Halle helped pay for his NYC restaurant and that he had moved in with her shortly after they started dating. Plus male models don't make as much as female models. He was a cook before becoming a model. His contracts and visibility had increased once he hooked up with Halle. I aint sayin' he's a gold digga....

She may have man issues but at least she doesn't have
financial problems like Toni Braxton. I can understand
now why Curtis Martin put on the jets(no pun intended)
after her initial bankruptcy. If Keri was smart he'd
cut the losses and get his act together and get back
to his craft.
