Uma Thurman and her ex-fiance Arpad Busson have been in a custody battle over their daughter Luna. The actress and the serial celebrity dater financier separated in 2014 after they got engaged in 2007. The couple has three children together including eldest child Maya Hawke and Levon Hawke.
The Kill Bill star has a lot of names to write down for her baby daughter Luna. She also has two half-brothers and a half-sister.
Uma Thurman
Actress Uma Thurman and French financier Arpad Busson dug in their heels and folded their arms and sat at the ends of a long table at Manhattan Supreme Court for the start of a bitter custody trial for their 4-year-old daughter, Luna. The former couple is fighting over access to their daughter and how to make decisions about her education. They also want to know who will take her on medical appointments.
Thurman and Busson, who are both French citizens, had an on-and-off relationship that ended in 2009. They reunited during her pregnancy in 2011 and she gave birth to Rosalind Arusha Arkadina Altalune Florence Thurman-Busson in 2012. They never married.
Thurman’s lawyer, Peter Bronstein, cross-examined her Friday about their tumultuous relationship and the time she spent with hotelier Andre Balazs. She refused to answer the questions and shook her head. He also asked luna thurman-busson about prescription drugs she takes. She said she has no personality disorder or serious diagnosis, but may have a little ADHD.
Bronstein also questioned her about an incident in which she dropped a piece of fruit and it hit her child in the eye. He asked if it was the first time she had ever done that and she responded, ‘No’. He then asked if she was a good mother, and she replied that she tried her best to be a good mother.
Busson also testified and his lawyers grilled her about the on-and-off nature of their relationship. He also argued that she is not a good mother and has a bad temper. He also accused her of not showing enough interest in their daughter. During the hearing, Thurman was also asked whether she would let Luna spend two-week periods at his home in the Bahamas. She said she would allow it, but not until she is older.
Thurman is a multiple award-winning actress who has had several roles in movies and television. She was nominated for an Oscar in 1995 for her role as Holly Golightly in Pulp Fiction. She also won a Golden Globe and a Primetime Emmy nomination for her work in Hysterical Blindness. She has a son, Levon Hawke, with ex-husband Ethan Hawke and another child, Luna, from her relationship with Busson.
Arpad Busson
Uma Thurman is a busy actress and mother, but she’s making sure to make time for her daughter. The Pulp Fiction actress recently took her daughter Luna to a Broadway showing of Some Like It Hot in New York City. The pair posed together on the red carpet, with the actress wearing a belted gray blazer and midi skirt with black heeled loafers.
Luna was also wearing a green cape over a matching dress, and she completed her look with a pair of black star-spangled tights. It was a rare appearance for the two, as they usually stay out of the public eye. This was the first time that Uma has brought her daughter to a red carpet since she and Busson ended their seven-year relationship in 2014. The actress won primary physical custody of Luna following the divorce.
Despite the end of their romantic relationship, the mother-daughter duo seemed to be happy. They both smiled and laughed, and the ten-year-old even threw her head back in a cute pose. They even walked hand-in-hand and looked very close to one another.
As for Busson, he is a multi-millionaire who is involved in several businesses. He founded the EIM Group, a fund-of-funds management firm, in 1991. His father was a French army officer who served in the Algerian War, and his mother was a former English socialite named Florence Harcourt Smith.
He has a long history of giving to the community, and has been active in raising funds for children. He has also donated to the victims of Hurricane Katrina.
Unlike some other multi-millionaires, Busson has a very down-to-earth personality. He is well-liked by the people he interacts with, and often takes the time to help others in need. He also has a passion for cooking, and loves to travel.
Despite his busy schedule, Busson has a very close relationship with his daughter. The two share a close bond and frequently spend time together, whether it’s going shopping or taking a walk in the park. He even helped raise money for the victims of Hurricane Harvey.
Luna Busson
After an incredibly lengthy and acrimonious custody battle, Uma Thurman and her ex Arpad Busson finally reached a settlement for their daughter Luna. The Pulp Fiction icon, who also has children Maya Hawke and Levon Hawke with her first husband Ethan Hawke, will continue to have full custody of the 10-year-old, while Busson will be granted monthly visitation. The agreement was announced in Manhattan Supreme Court and brought an end to a long-running saga that pitted the mother against the father.
The diva and the French financier began dating in 2007 and got engaged shortly after, but ended their relationship six years later in 2014, after Thurman split from Ethan Hawke. During their tumultuous relationship, they both fought over everything from a $1.5 million engagement ring (which she allegedly gave back to him) to their child’s future, with Thurman claiming that her former lover was addicted to prostitutes and Busson accusing her of mixing prescription drugs and alcohol.
Their battle came to a head in 2017 when they aired their dirty laundry at a custody trial in front of Manhattan Supreme Court Justice Matthew Cooper. During the eight-day hearing, Thurman accused her former love of being a drug addict and alleged that he would sometimes ‘cry in the middle of the street,’ while Busson claimed that his ex was addicted to prostitution and used his money as an excuse to spend it on hookers.
Towards the end of the trial, Justice Cooper unexpectedly declared that he was optimistic that the pair had agreed on an arrangement. A few hours later, Busson emerged from his seat to confirm the 38-page deal, which will see Thurman retain sole physical custody of their daughter.
On Saturday, the Kill Bill star looked as though a world of worries had been lifted from her shoulders as she and Luna took to Central Park in New York City. The actress wore a stylish cream cape over a grey top and jeans, while her daughter opted for a fashionable green poncho over a black dress. The mother-daughter duo also posed for photos together, with Thurman smiling broadly and her daughter looking chuffed.
Levon Thurman-Busson
The daughter of Uma Thurman and Arpad Busson, Luna is an aspiring actress like her mother. She is a regular on the red carpet and has even made appearances at Cannes Film Festival. She also has a keen fashion sense and often accompanies her mother to events such as fashion shows.
The two were spotted at the premiere of Some Like It Hot. The movie is based on the Billy Wilder classic, and features actors KiKi Layne, Matthias Schoenaerts, Henry Golding, and Charlize Theron. Both Uma and Luna looked stunning at the event, with Uma sporting a black dress and grey belted blazer and Luna looking fashionable in a white t-shirt and olive green poncho.
While the two did not speak to each other, they seemed to have a good time at the premiere. The two even smiled and laughed at one point. However, there was no sign of the drama that has been going on between the two in recent years.
Although the pair had a great time at the premiere, they did not make any public appearances together afterwards. The reason may have been because they were in the middle of a custody battle over Levon. The trial lasted for 3 years, and during that time, Busson would sometimes skip hearings. Uma claimed that he was difficult to be around and often yelled at her in front of their children.
After the end of their trial, Uma and her daughter got primary custody of her and allowed her father to visit her once a month. Despite the turbulent relationship with her ex-fiance, Uma has always been an incredibly loving mother. Her eldest daughter, Maya Hawke, is an actress in her own right and has been on the red carpet frequently. Her youngest son, Levon, is also an actor and has recently been seen in films such as Stranger Things.
The family has been living in Manhattan, and the couple has a home in Brooklyn Heights. In addition, they have an estate in Connecticut, which is where the children spend most of their time. They also have a farm in Vermont where they grow organic vegetables and other fruits and animals. The family enjoys spending their free time there, and they even have a pet goat named Max.
