Blast from the past: Halle Berry's ex-husband, David Justice, has been blabbing about their 1996 split, telling a podcast he left because she didn't live up to his "motherly" ideal, RadarOnline.com can reveal.
The former MLB star, 59, recalled that when they wed in 1993, he expected "a wife...[to] cook, clean, be traditional," but Berry was off "doing movies in this country, that country."
David Justice admitted he lacked wisdom in his marriage to Halle Berry and should have sought therapy.
While a source said the thrice-married Oscar winner, 58, isn't happy her ex is dredging up the past, she appreciates Justice's sense of remorse – he admitted he had little "wisdom around relationships" and should have sought therapy.
"One minor victory is David's admission that he could have handled it better," said the source.
"But Halle is in a good place with boyfriend Van Hunt and she's going to rise above it."
Van Hunt is credited by insiders for helping Berry stay in a good place despite her ex’s remarks.
