Halle Berry is pregnant with her second child, her spokesperson confirmed on Friday.
The 46-year-old Oscar-winning actress and her French fiance Olivier Martinez are having their first child together.
The pair already share partial custody of Halle's five-year-old Nahla, whom she had with former boyfriend Gabriel Aubry.
She is three months pregnant and already knows the sex of the child, according to TMZ,
who were first to break the baby news.
Soon-to-be-big sister
Nahla will be sharing her mother's love with a baby brother, according to sources.
She did nothing to prevent
speculation though when she was on holiday in Hawaii last week,
resorting to cover-ups whenever she stepped out on the sand with her
family.
Last fall she
opened up to Wendy Williams about adding to her family, saying that
Nahla had expressed wishes of being a big sister.
'My daughter is asking me,' she said.
'Every
night we pray to God, and she's so sweet. She says, "God, please bring
me a bunk bed and a baby sister." And I say, "I can do one of those
things, I know for sure! The other one we have to keep praying on." What
do you say to her when she wants that and can't understand why God's
taking so long, you know?'
The admission was ominous for the
famously private actress, who also said that she has learned a lot since
giving birth to her daughter five years ago.
'I'm
a much better mother at 46, or 41 when I had her, than if I were 21 or
25. I was just a little baby, just trying to figure it out, trying to
figure out who I was, let alone have the responsibility of trying to
help another little soul develop and grow,' she admitted.
'I'm so glad I waited.'
Halle has been incredibly protective
of her brood, fending off photographers as they came too close for
comfort upon their return to Los Angeles on Tuesday.
She restrained her fiance and pushed him into their waiting
car after a paparazzo accused him of pushing him at Los Angeles International
Airport.
The incident happened when the French actor was trying
to navigate his way out of the terminal while carrying Nahla after they arrived
back from a break in Hawaii.
Halle became hysterical as they attempted to leave the area
amid dozens of camera flashes and pleaded with photographers to leave them
alone.
After a photographer told her "he pushed me," she
replied: "There is a child. There is a child here, that's why you
idiots."
This is not the
first public brawl for the couple, who have been involved in a nasty
court battle over daughter Nahla with her French Canadian ex.
Last November, Olivier entered into a violent brawl with
Gabriel, 36, after he dropped her off at the Halle's home.
They reached a mutual decision not to pursue criminal
charges and to settle the dispute amongst themselves for Nahla's sake after
Gabriel originally filed for a restraining order against Olivier, claiming he
had threatened to kill him.
The row stemmed from Gabriel blocking Halle from moving to
France with their daughter to escape attention from the media.
A judge ruled that the pair could not move because it would prevent Gabriel from being able to see his daughter regularly.
Halle still maintains that a move to Paris in the near future, though it may be years away.
The actress said in an interview with HELLO! magazine: ‘It will probably won’t be until my daughter is 18 and off to college.
‘When
Nahla turns 18, she’ll be legally able to make her own decisions about
where she wants to be and I think that then, when she’s off on her own,
we’ll move there. It’s where I want to end my days, that’s for sure.’
Meanwhile, Halle ex-husband Eric Benet, whom the actress was married to from 2001 to 2005 has congratulated the star.
When asked by TMZ what he thought about the news, he gave a thumbs up and said 'Mazel tov'
