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.

Halle Berry made her first public appearance after having baby Nahla Ariela Aubry a little over six weeks ago. Berry wore a flouncy leopard-print dress that emphasized her ample cleavage. She looked gorgeous, fit, relaxed and happy.

Halle was at the Jenesee Center’s Silver Rose Gala & Auction. The Jenesee center helps families affected by domestic violence with emergency shelters, employment training, and counseling.

Halle looked happy to reveal her quick return to her post-baby body, but she hasn’t revealed baby Nahla. The infant has yet to make an appearance in a magazine or be photographed by the paparazzi.

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.

Oscar-winning actress Halle Berry has given birth to a baby girl. This is her first child, and the labor and delivery weren’t without a few complications, according to Star Magazine.

At age 41, Halle Maria Berry is finally a mother! After an initial scare earlier in the day, Halle gave birth to a beautiful baby girl on Sunday morning in Los Angeles.

An insider tells Star, “Halle Berry had a 7lb 4 oz girl at 10:17am Sunday morning, March 16, at Cedars-Sinai Hospital in Los Angeles. The actress had checked into the hospital for the second time that day after feeling contractions earlier Saturday morning.

“Halle had come to the hospital at 4am in the morning because the felt like she was going into labor. It was a bit scary because her blood pressure was skyrocketing and everyone was a little tense. She’s a diabetic so that was complicating matters as well. The doctors checked the fetal heart rate and everything seemed okay. After a while Halle’s blood pressure came down. She wasn’t dilating anymore so at around 2:45pm they let her go home.

“Halle felt her contractions come on a lot more intensely later that night so she came back to the hospital at 11:00pm Saturday night.

“Halle was overcome with emotion when she finally held her little girl. She said everything she had gone through was worth that moment. The tears kept coming as Halle didn’t even want the nurses to take her baby to clean her up and measure. It was a truly beautiful scene.”

Glad to hear that Halle’s age and pre-existing condition didn’t stop her from having a healthy labor and delivery. She seemed to take very good care of herself throughout the pregnancy. No word on whether Halle’s super-hot model boyfriend, Gabriel Aubry, was in the delivery room with her, or on what she named her new daughter. Congrats to the ridiculously gorgeous couple. I am curious to see pictures of the little one soon.

Halle Berry seems to be enjoying her pregnancy, being seen out and about and FABULOUS at various red carpet events. Every pregnant woman on Earth must hate her. With a passion. Where are her cankles?

But it seems while we might be envying Halle’s pregnancy gorgeousness, we don’t need to envy her at other times.

“It is true that I am three times the girl I usually am. I have to say there are some really wonderful things that come along with that,” she said Saturday night in accepting an award at the Palm Springs International Film Festival. “This is the first red carpet that I’ve really walked down where I didn’t have to think about holding in my stomach – because I can’t.”

Berry, 41, expecting her first child with boyfriend Gabriel Aubry, told the black-tie crowd of 1,700 at the festival’s awards gala that she also can now finally enjoy a big dinner.

“It’s the first time I’ve been to an awards show where they served a meal and I actually ate it – the whole thing,” she said. “I was eating off everybody else’s plate and that felt very liberating and good.”

People

I can imagine nothing worse than having to wear a tight dress, suck in my belly, then skip a meal of delicious food. Which is probably why I have a big fat ass and don’t look like Halle Berry. Although, the dress would be truly fabulous - remember Halle’s 2002 Oscar dress? - and you could always request a doggie bag for your dinner. They should just give all the actresses their meals in take out cartons.

Halle this week shared her theory on why Catwoman sucked - the villan was lame. The villan, in case you were one of the many people who missed this at your local cinema, was played by Sharon Stone, who was the head of a cosmetics company who created an anti-aging cream that turned your face to stone without continued use. She was foiled by her own face cream when her face turned to marble. Who would have thought this wouldn’t be a success?

She (Halle) insists she couldn’t have predicted the film would flop.

She says, “It was definitely different from any other (movie) I had seen. I thought that we needed a better villain, but I was outnumbered in that area.

“You just never know how people are going to respond. I thought that Monster’s Ball was going to end my career. And look what happened. You just never know.”

PR Inside

Why would you have ever signed onto Monster’s Ball if you thought it would end your career? Catwoman made Halle a cool $14 million according to IMDB, but what was her motivation for acing a role she thought would end her Hollywood lifestyle?

Halle was great at cracking that whip though. I saw her swinging it around on Oprah and it was hot. Perhaps the whip was another plot flaw though - who has ever seen a cat crack a whip? Wouldn’t you need thumbs?

Halle is due to give birth in March, and she also has a few movie projects on the boil, including Tulia, in which she plays a lawyer. Production has been delayed because of her pregnancy.

Halle Berry has a strange sense of humor. Or at least she has friends with a strange sense of humor. She was on David Letterman the other night talking about her pregnancy. She mentioned that her morning sickness really lasted all day. I hear that from so many women that I can’t help but wonder why in the world they call it morning sickness. Because it starts then? What the heck ? That implies it lasts for a limited period of time, and it’s incredibly deceptive. If they called it first trimester sickness, I’m guessing fewer women would be willing to have babies. It’s probably related to propagation of the species or something.

Halle also mentioned that she had a 3D ultrasound of the baby done. Those are so cool, they let you actually see the face a little bit. Anyway, she claims that her friends all think the baby looks like David Letterman. For some reason she mentioned this, but didn’t bring the actual ultrasound. Luckily, Dave had a mockup ready.

That is going to be one beautiful baby!

I’ve never been pregnant, so I don’t totally understand all the hormones that go into it – but I was kinda surprised to hear Halle Berry tell Oprah that she already wants another baby. You haven’t even popped the first one out girl! You’re three months pregnant, aren’t you still throwing up and craving tacos? I’m so confused. I had a friend who’s pregnancy mantra was something about wanting to “evict her little passenger” – and I gotta tell you, that makes a lot of sense to me. I understand wanting more eventually – but Halle must really be overdosing on the oxytocin if she’s already ramping up for more pregnancy.

“Halle Berry says she and her boyfriend, Gabriel Aubry, tried and tried and tried to get pregnant. ‘So there was a lot of staying home and doing what you do. Like, all the time, around the clock,’ the 41-year-old Oscar-winning actress said Tuesday on ‘The Oprah Winfrey Show.’ One negative pregnancy test followed another, ‘and finally, after about 35 tests, we finally got a positive test,’ Berry told Winfrey in one of her first interviews since announcing last month that she was expecting her first child with Aubry, her boyfriend of two years.

“Berry, who is about three months pregnant, told Winfrey she doesn’t want to know the sex of the baby. ‘There’s so few genuine surprises in life anymore that, why not have a huge surprise?’ she said. ;And I like fantasizing one day it’s a girl, one day it’s a boy.’ Berry won the best-actress Oscar for 2001’s ‘Monster’s Ball.’ She also won an Emmy and a Golden Globe for 1999’s ‘Introducing Dorothy Dandridge.’”

[From the Washington Post]

And how does Berry know all about being a mom? From acting. I’m not sure that’s the greatest indication of motherhood, but then again if never been an actress or a mother, so what the hell do I know.

“She said playing a mother in her latest movie, ‘Things We Lost in the Fire,’ helped convince her that motherhood was for her. ‘I think it validated that I was meant to be a mother because every day I dealt with the character as a mother and thinking as a mother,’ Berry said. ‘It let me know that I must be a mother.’”

[From the Washington Post]

Again, I’m not a mother, but something tells me it may be a little different when no one calls “cut” and someone from craft services doesn’t come over and offer Halle a plate of pickles, mustard, and Cheetos. [That joke was funny because women crave weird things when they’re pregnant. Alright that joke wasn’t funny]. Halle says she and boyfriend Gabriel Aubry don’t have any plans to marry. She seems a little jaded after her last two crappy marriages, not that I blame her.

“Berry said she and Aubry don’t plan to marry, but feel fully committed to each other. ‘I feel more married, in a way, than I ever have in two marriages before,’ she said. ‘He really understands the spiritual connection is so much more important than the paper and the pomp and circumstance and the ceremony.’ But Berry said there is something she and Aubry are sure to do: try to have another child. ‘There’s just one right now,’ she said. ‘But we’re hoping, right after this one, to do it again.’”

[From the Washington Post]

Well if absolutely nothing else, they will have shockingly gorgeous children. Shiloh and Suri need to look the hell out, because I’m pretty sure the Berry-Aubry baby will be in a league all its own. Stupid cute babies, making me want them. Damn it, there will be no more baby posts after this one.

“Access Hollywood” has confirmed that Halle Berry is expecting her first child with her boyfriend of two years, model Gabriel Aubry. Halle has talked quite frequently about her desire to have a baby… though the pretty but empty seeming Aubry didn’t exactly appear to be the guy Halle would choose to settle down with. Maybe she won’t, and is just using him for his ideal DNA or something. Halle is three months along, and is expecting her baby on February 14th.

“Halle Berry is pregnant with boyfriend Gabriel Aubry’s baby, the 41-year-old actress confirmed to ‘Access Hollywood’s’ Nancy O’Dell in an e-mail on Tuesday. ‘Yes, I am three months pregnant! Gabriel and I are beyond excited, and I’ve waited a long time for this moment in life. Now the next seven months will be the longest of my life!’ she wrote to Nancy. ‘… You heard it from ME first!’

According to In Touch Weekly, Berry is due on Valentine’s Day. The magazine also reports that Berry will be carefully monitored during the pregnancy, not only because of her age but also because she is a diabetic. She reportedly is being treated by a doctor who specializes in high-risk pregnancies. An insider told the magazine the actress began undergoing fertility treatments in February.

Over the years, Berry has made no secret about her desire for a family. Back in April, Berry sat down with O’Dell for a candid talk about Berry’s plans for kids. ‘Not that there’s not more to accomplish, but I think I arrived at a point in life that I realized I needed more to get me up in the morning. More than going to a new movie set. Or as much fun as getting the star was yesterday, I need something even more profound than that and that’s family. And that’s children,’ Berry said. ‘I need that like the air to breathe these days and I’m ready. I’m at a point where I’m really, really ready.’ Halle and Gabriel met in November 2005.

Wow, if she says she’s three months along and is looking forward to the next seven months of pregnancy, Halle must be planning on a Bridget Moynihan-style 10 month gestation. I’m joking, I know she’s rounding. Or maybe really bad at math. The comment from an “insider” who said Berry had undergone fertility treatments is interesting, since she had previously stated that she would adopt kids if she didn’t get pregnant naturally. Oh well, to each his (or her) own. Halle was really close to her stepdaughter, Eric Benét’s daughter India. She’d made plans to adopt her before their marriage fell apart. Clearly children are really important to her, so it’s great she’s finally gotten something she’s wanted for so long. Congrats to them both!

Halle Berry is shown on 8/22/07 out in LA. Thanks to WENN for these pictures.

Halle Berry has been pretty outspoken about her future plans for a child. She told Oprah she wanted a baby before she was 40. She’s also often quoted as saying she wants a biological baby and that she’s considering adoption too, “I probably will adopt even if it does happen naturally.” Halle also rules out ever getting married again after two failed attempts, and says that a marriage license is not necessary for a long-lasting, committed relationship.

Whenever Halle goes out in a floaty top the gossip rags call her pregnant, and in May she sent paparazzi into a frenzy when she wore a loose top while out shopping with her mother.

The latest National Enquirer is set to claim that 41 year-old Halle is two months pregnant, and not one to pass up a sensational angle, they’re bringing up her diabetes as a possible complication for her maybe-pregnancy:

Halle Berry’s dream has reportedly come true: the actress recently learned she’s two months pregnant, sources tell The National Enquirer. But Halle’s baby joy has been tempered by her fears that her diabetes could turn the happiest event of her life into a difficult pregnancy.

Halle is so happy right now, said an insider. She’s wanted a baby for so long. But at the same time she’s scared because she is very aware of the complications that having diabetes can cause during pregnancy. She’s doing everything possible to make sure her baby is born healthy.

According to medical experts, diabetes increases the risk of miscarriage, stillbirth and birth defects for expectant moms with the disease. Moms with diabetes have a significantly greater risk of having babies born with heart, brain, kidney, and spinal problems as a result of changes of blood glucose levels in the body during pregnancy. But with the proper care, Halle has an excellent chance of delivering a healthy baby.

The Enquirer was right about Nicole Richie’s pregnancy, and was the first source to declare her pregnant. It’s possible they were guessing based on paparazzi pictures, like we did, but since they were correct in that instance it’s somewhat possible they do have some inside source that knows that Halle is pregnant.

If this is true, congratulations to Halle and her boyfriend, Canadian model Gabriel Aubry, 31. The last paparazzi or event pictures I could find of her are from late May so she’s been laying low at least.

Halle Berry has made no secret of the fact that she wants children and will adopt if it doesn’t happen for her naturally. Hollyscoop has an exclusive that claims that Berry is pregnant, which might also explain the ring she was seen out with on her wedding finger recently.

Hollyscoop has learned exclusively through sources that actress Halle Berry might be expecting a visit from the stork. The actress has been spotted wearing baggy tops and sporting what some believe is a baby bump. She has been extra cautious to cover her tummy from the photogs in recent weeks.

The 40 year old actress is currently dating Canadian supermodel Gabriel Aubry, who is nine years her junior. The couple met at a Versace photoshoot. After six months with Aubry, she stated in an interview “I’m really happy in my personal life, which is a novelty to me. You know I’m not the girl that has the best relationships”.

Berry recently revealed to TV show Extra that she wants to have children and if she cant biologically than she would adopt. Halle did also mention, “I will definitely adopt. And I probably will adopt even if it does happen naturally”.

It’s not too far of a leap to think that Berry is pregnant given her statements and the fact that she’s been wearing floaty tops. It wouldn’t be the first time that a false pregnancy alert went out for Berry, and only time will tell if this one is true.

I recently saw some pictures of Berry in a bikini where she looked pretty skinny. I’m not sure if the pictures were new, but I’m not buying the pregnancy rumors yet.

Meanwhile another story has surfaced that lends some weight to the rumor that Halle is planning a wedding. She was seen out at an exclusive pastry shop looking at Wedding cakes and asking questions about how far in advance she needed to place an order.

These pictures of Halle Berry and her boyfriend Gabriel Aubry were taken in mid November and were found on Halle-Berry.org. She sure didn’t look pregnant back then.
