Halle Berry Gives Birth to First Child: A Baby Girl

Halle Berry gave birth to her first child on Sunday in Los Angeles. Halle, 41, and model Gabriel Aubry, 32, are the proud parents of a baby girl.

Halle has wanted to be a mother for a long time, and according to CNN, she told Oprah that she was convinced that motherhood was for her after playing a mother in "Things We Lost in the Fire." "I think it validated that I was meant to be a mother because every day I dealt with the character as a mother and thinking as a mother," Berry said. "It let me know that I must be a mother."

Halle has been married twice before, and has no immediate plans to wed Gabriel. The couple met in November 2005 during a Versace photo shoot. Halle says that they both feel fully committed to each other.

Their daughter is yet to be named, but Berry confirmed that their child would take on Gabriel's last name.


Update - March 19th - Baby's Name
The baby's name is Nahla Ariela Aubrey. Nahla is an Arabic-based name that means, "drink of water." Nahla weighed 7lbs 4oz.
