Halle Berry, 46, 'I Thought I was too Old to have another Child'

AFRIK UPDATE

The 46-year-old actress wore a tight black dress which hugged her new curves to an event at the Pool Room at the Four Seasons Hotel in New York City on Saturday.

The star, who already has a five-year-old daughter Nahla with her former boyfriend Gabriel Aubry, said: 'This has been the biggest surprise of my life, to tell you the truth. Thought I was kind of past the point where this could be a reality for me. So it's been a big surprise and the most wonderful.'

When asked to confirm if she was expecting a boy, she said: 'I don't know, I don't know. But [the baby is] healthy!'

The 46-year-old Berry, who is expecting her first child with fiance Olivier Martinez, said in an exclusive joint interview Saturday with Kors: 'I hope we go while I'm pregnant, so I can talk about prenatal care.'

'And I will have time off,' she said, patting her belly and smiling. 'I'm not working right now.' (There was no sign of a baby bump in her chic black sheath with a bit of beading at the neckline.)

Berry, who has a 5-year-old daughter, said she wanted to meet and talk with mothers struggling to feed themselves and their children while she was expecting. It will help build a connection, she said.

'It's so important to me, being a mom, that I can help educate women on how important it is that when you have a healthy child, it helps set them up for life.'
