Halle Berry's Life as a Mom

Halle Berry is going to be a mom again! The 46-year-old actress and fiance Olivier Martinez are expecting their first child together this fall, according to reports. Berry is also a proud mom to 5-year-old daughter Nahla Ariela Aubry, whom she describes as "the best thing" that's ever happened to her. We love how "Halle Blueberries"—as Nahla refers to her—celebrates motherhood. Here's a look at her and Nahla's precious bond through the years.
