HALLE BERRY EXPECTING SECOND CHILD


By Ian Markham-Smith - Posted on 02 September 2009

X-Men beauty Halle Berry is expecting her second child at the age of 43.
The former Bond babe, who co-starred with Pierce Brosnan in 2002's 007 action flick Die Another Day, used artificial insemination to conceive, according to reports in the United States.
The father is her long-time boyfriend, French Canadian male model Gabriel Aubry, with whom she already has a child, American magazine Life & Style says.
The couple's daughter, Nahla, who was born in 2007, was conceived through in vitro fertilisation after the actress – once named the Sexiest Woman Alive - took more than 30 negative pregnancy tests trying to have her first baby.
Berry is thrilled to become a mother again, a source tells the magazine.
"Halle is overjoyed," according to the insider. "She's just ecstatic to be pregnant again. She wasn't sure if she'd have another baby, so she's very happy."
Berry's spokespeople did not officially confirm the pregnancy to the magazine.
The twice-divorced actress has been dating 33-year-old Aubry since November 2005.
The actress won an Oscar in 2001 for her role in Monster's Ball and is the only African-American woman to have nabbed the Best Actress Academy Award.
She has played Storm, who is also known as Ororo Munroe, is all three X-Men movies set on the adventures of the comic book super-hero characters.
Her other films include the 1994 live-action, big screen adaptation of the popular 1960s TV cartoon series The Flintstones, Swordfish in 2001 and the 2004 action romp Catwoman.
