Halle Berry had already achieved enormous success by the time she gave birth to her first child at 41.
In 2002, the actress and fashion icon made history by becoming the first Black woman to win an Oscar for Best Actress – a long-overdue accomplishment given her film credits, which included blockbusters such as X-Men, Monster’s Ball, and Catwoman (via Complex).
In 2007, Halle told her model boyfriend, Gabriel Aubry, she was pregnant. She was ready to move on to new goals and dreams.
