Halle Berry Children:
Berry welcomed her first child, daughter Nahla in 2008 with her then-boyfriend, model Gabriel Aubry. They met when she was shooting in Los Angeles in 2005 working on a Versace shoot. They were together for five years, stepping out everywhere from New York City and beyond. The couple split in 2010, with a custody battle following soon after. Things got messy when Berry wanted to move from Los Angeles to France, home to Olivier Martinez. The Hollywood Oscar winner met Martinez in 2010 on the Dark Tide set in South Africa. However, her request to move the child was not honored and Nahla couldn’t be moved.
Berry married Martinez in 2013 in France. She welcomed her second child, son Maceo shortly thereafter. They were married for two years before announcing their split due to irreconcilable differences. Motherhood has had an effect on her work, this is one of the reasons for making the transition from film to television. One of these projects was Extant, a CBS show. She needed more time with her family and needed to balance being a single mom to her son and daughter.
