She may be a mom of two, but Halle Berry isn't a celebrity parent who shows off her children. Berry is one of the most celebrated actresses in the industry who made history as the only Black woman to win Best Actress. The attention she has received caused Berry to become a reclusive character in Hollywood, shading her children from the pesterings that come with superstardom. However, this week, Berry gave a rare look at her daughter, Nahla, as the teen celebrated her 15th birthday.
As any proud mama would, Berry uploaded a series of family-friendly photos of her and her daughter. She shares the teen with her ex, Gabriel Aubry. "One of the greatest gifts the universe has given me is my daughter, Nahla. She is the sun that never fades and the moon that never wanes! Please join me in wishing her a happy 15th Birthday today! I love you sweet angel 👼🏽."
A Mucky History For Halle Berry & Gabriel Aubry
Fame isn't the only reason Berry keeps daughter Nahla and son Maceo Martinez away from the spotlight. She has had a contentious relationship with Aubry, and for over a decade, they have made headlines. The pair met on a Versace photoshoot when Aubry was working as a model. They dated for five years before announcing their split, unraveling into a bitter custody battle. Berry later met actor Olivier Martinez while working on a film, and she wanted to move her family to France with the French actor. Aubry was adamantly against it, and soon, he and Martinez were fighting at the actress's home.
A restraining order was established, but a judge sided with Aubry in the custody dispute. Berry and Aubry later settled the matter, and the actress was ordered to pay him $16,000 per month, a retroactive payment of $115,000, and $300,000 in Auby's attorney fees. Berry would go on to marry Martinez in 2013, but by 2015, their romance was over. She's currently happy and in love with Grammy-winning musician Van Hunt. The pair recently strutted the Academy Awards red carpet together. Check out Halle Berry's tribute to her daughter above.
