Halle Berry goes down in history as one of Hollywood's most revered actors, and it is one of her biggest accomplishments. What probably tops this, is motherhood. Since the late 2000s, the star has started her motherhood journey, and she is nothing but smitten by her children. Berry welcomed her daughter, Nahla with her ex, Gabriel Aubry, on March 16, 2008.

The Catwoman actress is one of the celebrity moms who keeps their kids' appearances on social media, minimal. She is known not to show their faces on her media pages, but fans have seen them in rare public appearances. Berry made an exception when she shared a birthday post celebrating Nahla's 13th birthday. 

When Berry gave birth to Nahla in 2008, she was 41 years old, and according to her, it was all in her plans. She revealed to Closer Weekly in 2019 why she chose to have her kids at a later age. The Moonfall actress noted that one was "so much more ready to be a parent after 40 than when you're 20." Berry noted that because she was older, she has equipped herself to be mentally prepared for motherhood.

At the time of the interview, the Oscar-winning actress was single. She revealed that she has learned a lot b just being with her kids. Berry referred to her two children as "the best company," This was after she divorced Maceo's father.

Learning never ends and Halle Berry is proving it. She once told AARP that her children were her "greatest teachers." She described them as truth-tellers. She noted that adults could learn from children when life is viewed from their perspective.

Berry might stay clear of posting her children often, but she isn't one to shy away from sharing her motherhood tidbits from time to time. She has revealed that her children help her stay grounded. She relayed that wielding her title as a mom has helped her.

The star also noted that being a mother was something that came naturally to her. She also added that she had time to indulge in other activities she loved.

The Golden-globe winner also included that she wanted her growing kids to be proud of her achievements. With this in mind, she noted that she has to keep being their role model, while also being invested in their careers.

Back when Berry newly had her second child, she had been filming on the set of the TV series, Extant. The mom-of-two noted that her transition from the big screen to TV took a lot more than she envisioned. She was away from her family for a long, and to top it all, she was nursing home.

Berry recalled that Maceo was three months old at the time, so it was a lot of juggling. The actress explained, "My baby was just 3 months old when we started so I was doing drive-by nursings every two hours. I would go into my trailer, nurse for 10 minutes and off I was.”

Another thing the Bruised actress is grateful for is her relationship with her love of over two years, Van Hunt. While gracing the cover of Women's Health, Berry revealed that Hunt, a Grammy-winning singer has helped her become a "much better mother." The seamless nature of their relationship has given her such peace that she is able to function well as a mom.

The action film actress and Hunt have been an item since the fall of 2020, and it is safe to say it's been lovely. She once shared that she had never had a man lift her up the way Hunt did.

While juggling her life as an actress moviemaker, lover, and mom, Berry upholds that she wants her children to have a voice of their own. The star noted that she often tells her daughter to use her voice because she had a right to be heard. She included that she wanted both kids to be true to themselves and not be followers.
