Halle Berry has said that she’s open to adoption, and mentioned before Nahla was born that she would adopt even if she had a child naturally. According to In Touch, an adoption may in the works for Halle. The details are vague, though, so it sounds like Halle and her partner, Gabriel Aubry, either just talking about it or In Touch is jumping to conclusions based on Halle’s past statements:

They’re proud parents to daughter Nahla, but Halle Berr and Gabriel Aubry are gearing up to have another baby. According to insiders, the couple’s attempts to conceive over the past year have been unsuccessful, so the 42-year-old actress and her longtime model beau, 32, are weighing other options. “Halle and Gabriel have discussed adoption,” reports an insider. “He is open to it because he grew up in the foster care system. He would love to share their blessings with another child.” Even before their 13 month-old daughter’s birth, Halle was already considering the idea. “I will definitely adopt,” she vowed in early 2006. “And I probably will adopt even if it does happen.” [naturally]

Nahla is such a beautiful baby and you can tell that Halle dotes on her. She will make a wonderful mother to another little one if that’s what she and Gabriel want. Halle may be planning on another biological baby instead or maybe in addition to an adoption. She told Harpers Bazaar that she loved being pregnant and called it “amazing.” “I was happy that whole time [I was pregnant], I felt good, I had energy, I was like Superwoman. I wish I could feel like that for the rest of my life, that’s how fantastic it was.” She also said she’s addicted to buying baby clothes online and that she’s bought so much stuff that Nahla can’t even wear all the clothing. Maybe she’s storing it in case she needs it in the future.

Two weeks ago, we covered Halle Berry’s titillating essay in Esquire Magazine, in which she accepted her “sexiest woman alive” title by trying to prove it and discussing her formula for a good sex life. Halle does not expect a man to deliver her orgasms, and knows how to work it herself.

Speaking to Esquire magazine - who recently voted the Oscar Winner the Sexiest Woman Alive - Halle said, “You know that stuff they say about a woman being responsible for her own orgasms? That’s all true, and, in my case, that makes me responsible for pretty damn good orgasms.

“They’re much better orgasms than when I was 22, and I wouldn’t let a man control that.

“Not anymore. Now, I’d invite them to participate.

“I’ve learned my tricks. I know what I like. I do not wait around. I initiate. And I’m not all about frequency - I favor intensity.”

“Men in their 20s? Forget it,” she added.

Halle’s daughter Nahla was born in March. As a fellow new mother, I think that Halle’s statement might need some decoding.

First, when she says it’s not about frequency, that actually means ‘I’m up all night with a screaming baby, I’m exhausted, so if we’re lucky we have sex once a week. On a good week.’

When she says she’s responsible for her own orgasms, she means ‘I have a baby hanging off my hip all day, unless she’s hanging off my boob while I feed her. By the time I coax her into lying down in bed and night and leaving me alone for a couple of hours, that last thing I want is another person hanging off of me, even if they are Gabriel Aubry.’

When she says that there’s no point in having sex with a man in their 20s, what she actually means is ‘No man in his 20s is going to look at me again because I’m a mother in her 40s, even if I am bangin’ hot Halle Berry.’

Now, if they added this to the high school curriculum we might find the teenage pregnancy rate drop significantly.

Note by Celebitchy: I can’t find where Halle said “Men in their 20s? Forget it.” in the original interview, but the rest of the quotes in Showbiz Spy are pretty accurate.

Actress Halle Berry and her yummy boyfriend, model Gabriel Aubry, are enjoying parenthood with their daughter Nahla so much, they’re going to try it again. Aubry revealed in an interview that he and Halle are currently working on baby number two. Lucky girl!

Newborn Nahla Ariela Aubry may have a little sib soon.

Halle Berry’s beau Gabriel Aubry tells Usmagazine.com that he and the 41-year-old actress are trying to have another baby.

“Yeah, we are working on that!” he told Us at Elle magazine’s 15th Annual Women in Hollywood event in Beverly Hills, where Berry was honored on Monday.

Despite wanting to expand their family, Aubry said, “We have no plans for marriage. We are more married than ever, really.” (After two failed marriages, Berry has famously vowed to never wed again.)

Since welcoming their daughter in March, Aubry said he is amazed at how the actress has embraced motherhood.

“I mean, look at her - she is unbelievable!” he told Us. “She is the best mom that anybody could ask for — or wish for!”

As for Nahla?

“She is on the verge of walking,” Aubry said. “She is walking with assistance, let’s just put it that way.”

“I had no expectations so everything is a surprise,” Aubry told Us of fatherhood. “There is no best part. Everything is amazing!”

[From Us Weekly]

Wow- Nahla is already trying to walk! These two are going to have their hands full with a little daredevil, I bet. Anyway, this news sure puts to rest all the Internet rumors that the couple broke up- sounds like they are very much together. I get the impression that they try to keep their relationship out of the papers as much as possible. They don’t go out together all that often, and when they talk about their private lives, they mostly speak about the baby and that’s it.

Halle Berry’s adorable five month old daughter, Nahla Ariela Aubry, was photographed for the first time in public yesterday. Halle was seen out at the LA Zoo with her mom, Judith, and a security guard. Little Nahla is the daughter of the Oscar-winning actress and her boyfriend, Canadian model Gabriel Aubry, 31.

In June, Halle said that being a mother was “the most beautiful time of my life,” and that Nahla has left her “so happy and fulfilled.”

Halle made a deliberate decision not to pose for a high-paid photo spread with her infant. Last month Halle threatened action over faraway photos of her with Nahla in her backyard that were taken with a telephoto lens. She issued a statement, which read in part “[Gabriel] and I have always remained that we would never sell baby photos or otherwise exploit her in any way…. I will do everything I can for the sake of her safety and well-being to keep her out of the public eye.”

Berry eventually gave in and went out with baby Nahla. She invited the paparazzi and clearly didn’t broker a deal for exclusive photos, because several agencies have these.

Nahla is so cute and you can see that she’s Gabriel’s daughter. She’s going to be beautiful when she grows up.

Halle Berry, 41, and her boyfriend, French Canadian model Gabriel Aubry, 32, made their first public outing together since the birth of their daughter, Nahla, nearly four months ago. The two attended a Stevie Wonder concert at the Hollywood Bowl in LA last night. The public has yet to catch a glimpse of Nahla, with neither the paparazzi or a magazine securing any photos of the infant.

Two months ago there was speculation that Berry and Aubry were engaged after Berry attended an event wearing a ring on her left ring finger. Berry’s rep said it was just jewelry the actress purchased for herself and that she is not engaged. Berry has said that she will never marry again after two bad experiences.

Berry was recently in Hawaii shooting an ad for her new fragrance with Coty. It will feature her wearing a sheer peach-colored dress over a bikini.

Star Magazine has an original interview with new mom Halle Berry, and the way the Oscar-winning actress talks about motherhood you can tell she’s cherishing every moment with her newborn daughter. Halle had Nahla Ariela two months ago and has yet to command millions for a photo spread with the newborn or even release a picture. 41-year-old Halle says she’s cherishing being a mother and it’s something she waited a long time for.

Halle talks about a period in her life when she almost burnt out from working too hard. She says she’s looking forward to easing up on her work schedule now so that she can focus on being a mom. As for getting her body back, she says she works out an hour a day five times a week with a personal trainer.

Are you enjoying becomina mother at last?
This is the most beautiful time of my life. Having a baby has made me so happy and fulfilled, I just can’t express in words how I really feel. To be able to nurse and bond with my daughter is such a joy. It’s been a long, long wait!

Did you know you were going to have a girl?
Gabriel and I both agreed that we would rather not know and let it be a wonderful surprise. I just felt a lot more comfortable not knowing.

Has Nahla brought the two of you closer together?
From the beginning, Gabriel was someone I felt I could feel very close and loving to, and I also knew from early on that he was the kind of man who would love a cihld as much as me. I’m happy just being with a man who loves me unconditionally and is looking forward to the future with me.

Has being a mom changed your approach to your acting career?
I’m definitely going to work less. I used to put so much pressure on myself to succeed that it often made me very unhappy in my personal life, and I felt on the verge of burning out three or four years ago. Also, I feel having a baby will open up a whole new world for me. I think I’ll actually find better roles, because I’ve gotten past being the ingenue and sex symbol.

But you look as gorgeous as ever! Was it tough getting back into shape?
It’s been kind of tough. But I have a great trainer [LA-based trainer Ramona Braganza] and we’ve been working out an hour a day, five days a week, for the past month. I didn’t want it to take five months to get back my figure. It was something I wanted to take care of now and just not worry about. I feel really good.

Have you been able to fit in any other time for yourself?
Well, Nahla is keeping me pretty busy with feedings, but it’s always a pleasure to oblige. Gabriel and I also plan to sleep again in a few months, as soon as Nahla’s nighttime feeding schedule allows!

Halle really sounds like she’s so happy to finally be a mom and that it means a lot to her to be there for her newborn daughter. I like how she explains that she’s going to continue working but that won’t push herself as much. She has three movies that start filming later in the year, according to Star. IMDB lists five upcoming films for her.

Halle was seen out shopping this weekend, and she looks great. Her workout schedule sounds pretty reasonable too.

Even though Halle Berry once said that she would never get married again, it looks like her hunky boyfriend and father of her baby girl, Gabriel Aubry, might be the man who changes her mind. Twice married and twice divorced (hey! just like me! Call me, Halle- let’s dish) Berry said, after her split from cheating jazz singer husband Eric Benet, that marriage was not for her- but she may have re-thought that statement recently. Reportedly, Aubriel proposed by offering her his grandmother’s diamond ring, and the actress accepted.

New mom Halle Berry is engaged to her boyfriend Gabriel Aubry after he gave her his grandmother’s ring.

“Gabriel felt the time was right to propose. He gave her the family heirloom because he wanted to show her how much she means to him, and how she will be accepted into the Aubry family,” a source close to the couple said.

“The ring belonged to Gabriel’s grandmother – it was her engagement ring.”

The ‘X Men’ actress, 41, was snapped flashing the diamond ring in Hollywood this past weekend.

Berry gave birth to the couple’s first daughter, Nahla Ariela, in March.

Halle and Gabriel, 32, started dating in November 2005.

Congrats to the happy couple. And much credit to Halle for giving love a try again after two failed marriages. I know how that feels- and what I’ve learned is, you cannot write off an entire gender or the concept of marriage just because two men weren’t right for you. Figure out what went wrong, learn from your mistakes, and keep trying. It looks like Halle did that, and now she gets a gorgeous man and a beautiful baby. Hooray!

Note by Celebitchy: People claims she’s not engaged
It doesn’t sound like it’s time to celebrate on Halle’s behalf just yet. People Magazine cites a source who says “t’s not an engagement ring. Halle just saw it and thought it was beautiful so she bought it for herself.” They say the ring is designed by Amrapali, which has been manufacturing rings since 1978, according to their website. That would mean that it’s not likely a heirloom ring from Gabriel’s family, but it could still be some sort of engagement ring. As of now there is no official denial and we just have rumors suggesting it could go either way.

I think it’s an engagement they’re trying to downplay. Halle put her hands up to her face an awful lot at the Revlon run/walk for women over the weekend, so it really looked like she was trying to give us a hint. It wasn’t an accident that she wore the ring on the her left hand and not her right.

Oscar winner and new mom Halle Berry is reportedly taking her time following the “selling photos of your baby to magazines” trend. Berry and her babydaddy, model Gabriel Aubry, have been approached by several magazines, but nothing has been settled. Speculation has it that Berry is waiting until she loses her baby weight before appearing on a magazine cover with her little one, but MSNBC seems to think that the actress is going to debut Nahla at her upcoming charity golf event.

It looks like we’ll be seeing pictures of Halle Berry’s post-baby body before we see pictures of the baby. Berry and Gabriel Aubry’s baby, Nahla, was born March 16 and has yet to make an appearance in the pages of any celebrity weekly.

One magazine editor said that “photos are being shopped, but nothing’s been settled,” so we’re left to wonder if Berry will bring Nahla to the Halle Berry Celebrity Golf Classic on April 27. At the very least, the actress will be revealing her post-baby body.

According to Us Weekly, Berry wants to be back in fit form for the tournament. “She’s thrilled to start exercising again,” the source added of the star, whose dialed-back pregnancy fitness regimen includes yoga, swimming and light weights.

I’d like to see Halle do what Salma Hayek did, and just release a simple, non-airbrushed pic to the AP News Service and be done with it. I am getting sick of these highly stylized magazine pictorials of newborns and their famous parents. The J-Lo and Marc Anthony one in People was just over the top with the airbrushing and special lighting. Those twins could be wolf cubs for all we really know. I am sure Halle’s daughter has been blessed with good looks - how could she not be, with parents like that? I’m actually way more interested in Halle and Gabriel’s relationship than their offspring. Do they live together or what? Are they going to do the deed and get married? Does he hang around the house in his underwear? That’s more interesting than another pictorial of a newborn. Details!

As far as celebrity baby names go, Nahla Ariela is not bad. It does have a Disney ring to it, probably due to the Little Mermaid-sounding middle name. I’ve never heard the name Nahla before and it sounds kind of neutral to me for a little girl’s name, but maybe I just need to get used to it.

According to Babynology, it’s a Muslim name that means “a drink of water.”

Nahla was born at 10:17 am on Sunday morning. She is the first child for Oscar-winning actress Halle, 41, and her boyfriend, model Gabriel Aubry, 32.

Halle and Gabriel are in a private birthing suite at Cedars Sinai with their baby. They are all said to be doing well and are expected to leave the hospital sometime this week.

Pregnant Halle Berry and the father of her baby, Gabriel Aubry, haven’t been seen out together in some time. Star Magazine reports that it’s because they’re not even living on the same coast. Gabriel is all the way over in NY trying to promote his modeling career while Halle is saying in Malibu. Gabriel owns a restaurant in NY and presumably has to keep track of the business there along with his job requiring him to stay on the East coast.

Star says he’s all too willing to keep his distance because he wants to marry the mother of his baby who refuses to tie the knot and is admittedly marriage-averse after two failed attempts. They could be jumping to conclusions, and hopefully these two will be able to make it work and stay in the same place once the baby comes:

[Halle's] boyfriend of two years, and the father of her unborn child, Gabriel Aubry, has been pushing to tie the know, and with Halle dragging her feet, it’s only driving him away.

And far! A source close to Halle confirms to Star that Gabriel has been living in Manhattan, while Halle is at her home, 3,000 miles away, in Malibu. And while the couple was spotted shopping for furniture together in LA on January 7, it was their first public outing in more than two months…

Gabriel, a model who also owns a Cuban restaurant in NYC, “still wants to work and build a successful career for himself,” says the source. “It really pulls him away from Halle. He seems to have no firm plans to move west, and it kills her.”

[From Star Magazine, print edition, January 21, 2008]

The article then says that Gabriel doesn’t plan to leave Halle though, and that he hopes to be a good father to his child. It seems to be a good sign that these two were seen out shopping for furniture as it might mean that they’re trying to set up house for their child. Halle is reportedly due on February 14.
