He is in the midst of a messy custody battle as his former flame tries to uproot their daughter to France.
And while Halle Berry is attempting to prove his schedule would allow regular travel, Gabriel Aubry seemed more focussed on proving what a good father he is today.
The model was seen effortlessly carrying Nahla with one arm as he walked in the Los Angeles sunshine.

Halle is hoping to move herself and Nahla to Paris to live with her fiancé Olivier Martinez.
According to recent reports by TMZ the Catwoman star’s legal counsel hope to prove that Gabriel’s modelling schedule would mean he has plenty of free time to travel back and forth from the US to Europe to visit Nahla.
It is claimed he works sporadically as a model and she thinks he can still maintain a meaningful relationship with his daughter even if it is a long-distance one.
