Halle Berry: This Pregnancy Was ‘Biggest Surprise of My Life’

She bump her head

I’m glad I won’t be around to see the train wreck that her children will be because of her choices. No stable home, no two parents in a committed relationship, too old to be having babies…all the reasons this is just sad. So disappointing she’s such a skank.

So who’s fault is it that you’ve turned into the low-life you are? Speaking on people’s lives that you know nothing about? Better look in the mirror before you start throwing stones.

All these haters. Has Halle ever done anything to you? This lady is just taking care of her daughter and her new baby. I’m sure you have done things people would not approve of. Stop the hate.

How do you know so much about her kid Athina? Are you a close personal friend or nanny? Otherwise you know nothing about them but what you read on People.com

46! Give it a rest. They don’t call her “Scarey Berry” for nothing.

You don’t have to like her but in all fairness, you have to admit the woman is the most stunning pregnant celebrity EVER! She has the cutest little pudge.

46! She looks 30!

so sick of her and her ugly spiky looking hair

Sick Sick Sick of the terms “baby bump” and “bump watch”.

We do. It’s called Welfare and Medicaid.

I personally think her and her finance planned this pregnancy not sure how many 46 year old diabetics you know who get pregnant naturally but oh well I say congrats to them. I dont think Nahla grows up in a stable home because she’s shuffled between both of her parents who seem to travel A LOT but I think she seems like a happy little girl.

I wouldn’t exactly call that a baby bump (by the way, I hate those words). She looks great in any case.

Oh get a grip, Athina. NO ONE is jealous. Nahla is in a home that is FAR from being stable because her mother is a psycho freak who tried COUNTLESS times to have Gabriel barred from seeing his daughter. She slung all kinds of false and wild accusations at him, thankfully NONE stuck. EVERY man she dates/marries she accuses of abuse. And one day it will be Olivier’s turn though that has a chance of actually being true. Nahla is NOT in a stable environment because Halle doesn’t put Nahla first, EVER.

According to CNN, she said the pregnancy was a surprise. Not sure how a 46 year old woman can be honsetly surprised in that way, but whatever. I hope the baby is healthy.

Interesting – have worked in the fertility profession for years. I would guess this must be a donar egg……

WOW, I’m just stunned at some of these comments!!!!!! Such hatred in your words people……My thoughts, congrats on your pregnancy Halle & I hope you have a happy healthy baby !!!! And she does look fabulous BTW !!!!!!!! She’s gorgeous, intelligent, love her as an actress too !!!!!! Go Halle !!!!!!! Live your life the way you want and nevermind about the nasty comments people make about you !!!!!! Sheesh !!!!!!

three articles in as many days? are you going to do a “bump watch” every day on Halle?

Is his head photoshopped onto the body or what?

You can be 46 and totally surprised. I would be. No one expects to be pushing 50 and pregnant. You expect to start menopause at that age. My grandmother was 45 when she had my youngest uncle and that was in the early 70s. LOL!! People are SO angry at Halle for getting pregnant, like she STOLE something from them or KILLED someone. So what… Are you going to reach into her uterus and take her eggs away?! Wish her well and move on… 🙂

Very well said Lyoness and Cheryl 🙂 It’s sad and frankly just pathetic that some people are taking this pregnancy so personally, like they actually know Halle and this affects them directly. I feel like there are three sides to Halle’s story…hers, Gabriel’s, and the truth. I don’t see how people can judge her so harshly when they don’t know her and don’t have all of the facts. Instead of spewing hateful comments about someone I don’t know, I realize that the most important part of this story is Nahla (and her baby sibling on the way) and so I wish Halle all the best with her pregnancy and hope that she and Gabriel (and Oliver) are able to put their differences aside and co-parent in a way that is healthy and productive for their kids. I don’t understand people wishing bad things on their kids…they are innocent in this and don’t deserve that at all. People seriously need to grow up.

Too old to have a baby and can’t make up her mind on a man. She’s all over the place with man trouble.

Having a baby at 46 is not like having a baby at 46 when you are healthy and fit which she is. If she looks younger on the outside, she is younger on the inside.

I hear a lot of veiled jealousy!

If some people cannot envision having a baby at 46, some people do, It has to do with where you are in life and how you have lived.

apparently mental health doesn’t figure so well with her
given that she had her boyfriend beat up her child’s father when he was returning her from visitation..
Your done Haley we saw your true side

Holly I hope you find happiness…and the Oliver is not a hothead with you as he seems to have a propensity to act first and think later. Hope he treats you right you deserve it. Wesley Snipes beat her when they dated back in the early 90’s. She is deaf in one ear because of it. No deserves that…no one.

I think think shes too old to be having babies, now I woudlnt want to have a baby at that age, but its still not too old, I wonder if she had her egss frozen?? so much can happen after 40….thats when I stopped…as far as marriage and relationships, hollywood will never get that rigth

She absolutely stunning for 46 and pregnant!!

That’s barely a baby bump. And I’m sorry, I don’t care how much money, fame and superb medical care one has, 46 and having a baby is not the smartest thing in the world to do, especially with diabetes, no husband and a history of craziness. Then again, maybe the next man will give Olivier Martinez the beating he deserves when he drops his kid off one of these days.

Everyone is pregnant nowadays. She looks so much better than Kim.

Too old to have a baby. She probably will hire a full time nanny to watch her children.

Uh… for future reference lets repeat to ourselves… if you get a period you can get pregnant!

This woman just gives me the creeps. I think she is a handful to get along with, and her past husbands and lovers would probably agree. There’s just something about her that creeps me out.

I don’t see what the big deal is. I personally think this woman is a bit ‘touched’ but you know what aren’t we all….

There are many women (especially in LA for some reason) who’ve been in their late 40’s and find out they’re pregnant. It really is a shock to some, they think because things are working like clock work anymore, so who needs birth control. Hells bells, I would! I can’t wait till I no longer need BC. No big deal, things like this happen all over the world and in your communities not just Hollywood.

What’d you think would happen when you don’t use birth control? Duh.

Extremely unlikely she used her own eggs so I dont know why this is a surprise. At her age, about a 1% chance or less she got pregnant on her own. also she tried for 1 or 2 years to get prego with Nahlia.

Halle is a hot mess. She gets herself involved in one bad relationship after another. She has been involved in hit and run car accidents, and is trying to move her child out of the country and is all ticked off she cant. She has helped create all the drama in her life. I already feel sorry for this unborn baby he has a nut job for a mother.

I say ‘good for her’. Who’s business is it that she’s having a child at any age. Too many HS girls having children and we celebrate that! I think once someone is in the media, we have a tendency to project our lives on them. Sure we OLDER people would like to think marriage before children, but it just doesn’t happen that way anymore. She doesn’t seem to be a media slob like many stars before her having children (that shall remain nameless). Wishing a happy healthy family for her, her daughter and her fiancee.

To have such hatred for someone they don’t know but obviously care enough about to read the story and make a comment is sad. People who are spewing the hate are verbal bullies.

Pls congratulate or zip it 46 or 50 so wat.

Well that tends to happen when you have unprotected sex, moron. I feel sorry for Nahla & her future child. She’s clearly not right in the head….I give them a few more months…max!

Having a baby with someone who has obvious anger issues is by far the stupidest thing she has done. She should change her name to Stupidio Berry.

I do hope baby will be all right. We all know there are risks to the baby (and mother) in a later-life pregnancy. Stay strong and healthy, Halle.

Congratulations Halle!

At 46, I am guessing yes, it was a surprise. But how can you be surprised if you have unprotected sex? I mean, you know it’s at least a possibility! DUH

very happy for Halle and Oliver- Just great happy news!

How can people be surprised with pregnancy in this modern era? You either use protection and you don’t get pregnant or you don’t use protection and it’s very likely that you will get pregnant. There are certainly some cases where contraception fails but that is so limited and the number of celebrities that are “surprised” by pregnancy are far beyond the probability of contraception failure.

Blech, blech, blech!!!!

Biggest surprise my ‘A’, this must have been after all the hormones and IVF , these Hollywood folks are so full of you know what

Well let’s see…if you have sex and don’t use birth control, pregnancy usually happens. Not sure why that’s always a “surprise” for some.

I just don’t believe that she conceived w/o fertility treatment..

This pregnancy is a PR move in response to the negative press she and Olivier have been getting. She is one cold cold lady.

OMG if I have to hear one my celeb or person say it was a shocking surprise I’m gonna barf! Sex leads to pregnancy, hello!

Lol I can’t believe any woman at the age of 46 thinks she’s past the age to conceive. What a bozo! Read, learn and teach about the female reproductive system first Halle.

I am surprised that so many people doubt that a 46 year old can conceive naturally. Knowing my own family history back several generations, a lot of my female relatives were ‘surprised’ with a late-comer when they thought they were finished with babies. The worry of course is for the momma and baby to be healthy.

It doesnt matter how young she LOOKS, her eggs are still 46 and she is risking her life and her baby’s life by doing this

I don’t believe this was a surprise for a second.

I thought maybe fiance pummeling ex-boyfriend bloody would be the biggest surprise of her life. Or maybe looking in the mirror and never aging, LOL.

My midsection did not look different in my first trimester. But she is brave to be talking about it so early, given the chances of pregnancy loss. I didn’t tell anyone (not even family) until I hit 28 weeks and knew the baby was likely to live. gulp. This kid will have old parents and a violent father (has Martinez been married? Well, Halle has enough marriage history for both of them!).

I agree, you can talk about prenatal care whether expecting or not, whether female or not. You can talk about it even if you’ve sworn a lifetime of abstinence.

What did she think? She couldnt get pregnant cuz she was 46? LOL. She is a beautiful woman though, kind of wish she would grow her hair out for a change.

Surprised! well if you still have your cycle and are not using protection. SURPISE! it happens. She must have thought her eggs were all dried up. idiot!

I don’t care what she looks like. She is an arrogant annoying wannabe. Instead of nursing and birthing classes, she and her baby daddy should start the legal and conseling classes for when they break up with regard to Halle’s attitude and custody. Never gonna last. She is a train wreck.

Why are so many people being so judgmental and negative? She’s beautiful, talented, and appears to be getting a chance at happiness in her personal life with her fiance and growing family. I am happy for them and wish them well.
To all those spewing hateful words: Your opinion only guides one person’s behavior…take a wild guess at who that is.

So is she saying this child was ‘naturally’ conceived? Pregancy is possible for almost any woman with a uterus but it may not be with her own eggs. Not sure why she is saying the pregnancy was a surprise when I believe she had the help of a fertility doctor. Yes it is possible to fall pregnant at 46 but usually it is not planned, and women who become pregnant at this age usually have several children. The risk of down syndrome and other chromosomal issues is much higher at this age, unless she used donor eggs. I really don’t like this woman either. If her and Oliver seperate, you know it’s going to be drama-filled.

Gee-I can smell the haterade.People need to mind their own business and stop dogging Halle.I think she is beautiful and she can have a baby if she wants to(what law states that a woman is not allowed to have a baby at any age)There are a lot of women who are Halles’ age and older who are having babies-more power to them.Who’s to say she wont have a healthy baby?There are women much younger than her having not so healthy babies.If a woman is still having her cycle every month then obviously she is capable of becoming pregnant if she has not been sterilized,she did not have to have IVF.God will take care of Halle and her precious baby.If you can’t be happy for her then why don’t you just keep your mouth shut.

She has the perfect face and the perfect body, it figures that she’d have the perfect uterus too!

If you aren’t on birth control and you are not in menopause, of course you are going to get pregnant if you are getting it on with someone. This woman is just dumb. Unless of course, she was secretely undergoing IVF and that’s why she’s so surprised to be pregnant. Idiot.

What’s the surprise? If you are not using some form of birth control, then she/they should know the possibility for pregnancy is always there.

Haters— Does anyone on the blog actually personally know the woman? Just because you see someone on tv or the movies doesn’t make you know them.

It could be a surprise because at her age, there is approximately a 5% chance of pregnancy during any cycle. That is, there is a 95% chance you *won’t* get pregnant. Which, for that given cycle, is only slightly worse than correctly using birth control (97-99% for The Pill; 96-97% for condoms.) So… SURPRISE!

Anyway re: vitriol. All you people see – unless you are living with HB, GA and OM – is what’s in the “news.” Which, given the current climate of dumbing everything down and then sensationalizing it, isn’t much information to make the highly charged accusations and conclusions y’all are coming to here. It’s highly unlikely that Nahla is involved in the court bickering (the judge wouldn’t stand for it, b/c it’s not “in the best interest of the child” for her to see or be part of that display), or that Nahla understands that her custody is being played out in the entertainment “news” cycle. To her, shuttling between parents’ homes and engaging in frequent international travel is the norm. Shuttling between parents’ homes is the norm for MILLIONS of American children, so why Nahla’s situation is so much worse, I can’t imagine.

As far as her personality shortcomings go, again, who lives with her? Any of you? Notice that the individuals doing the most complaining about her personality are former partners. Shocking that their opinions would be negative! SHOCKING, I SAY. Am I to take away from this criticism, then, that all your exes have stellar opinions of each of you? Not one complaint to be had? Further, if she has such a terrible attitude, how has she become so successful, particularly as a black woman in Hollywood? It would have been easy for a director or a producer or a production company to refuse to work with her due to her difficult personality IF THAT WERE THE CASE, but she’s worked steadily since 1991, with a break in 2007 after her daughter was born, but immediately back into it in 2010 with a film or two released every year since. Yeahhh…. “Halle Scary” for real!

I had a perfectly healthy pregnancy and delivered a normal, healthy baby at age 45. It is possible and my little one is such a blessing to our whole family. I wish Halle much joy and good health.

She’s full of crap. She’s been cackling that Nahla wanted a sibling and how she was ‘working’ on making that happen. Poor child. He certainly doesn’t deserve this cold hearted witch as a mother.

I really don’t get why people slam women who have babies at an older age. It’s teenage pregnancy that should be avoided, not the other way around. Besides I think Halle has enough money to hire the extra help if needed. And having a baby past 40 is not a new phenomenon; back when a woman had over 10 children, the last one often came along in her 40s .

I can’t wait to see how long will it take after the baby is born for her to decide that she needs to keep the baby from the daddy because he(and is proven this time) is an aggresive out of control person. Sorry Mr. Martinez but you are NEXT!!!!!

Why do women act surprised when they get pregnant?

My grandmothers gave birth to my parents when they were 44 & 46–in 1916 and 1921!! With medical advances etc. today Halle will be fine–though I think traveling to Syria or Africa would be very risky.Stay home and enjoy this great surprise. She doesnt need to risk anything,especially having Type 1 diabetes.

To all you women who are highly clueless- pregnancy does NOT have an age limit. As long as you produce an egg you CAN get pregnant. So do not be fooled. 50 year old women can get pregnant- and I know of one. She had an oops thinking it was past her time. Guess what? Nope- she had a boy and all her children were in college and one was in high school. If you don’t go thru menopause until your 50’s- there is always a chance for that sperm to fertilize an egg.

Surprise, doubtful. Most likely she froze her eggs years ago and had them implanted. Statistically a 46 year old getting pregnant on their own is like 1 percent. Why doesn’t she tell the truth instead of giving false hope to other mid 40 women. Plus shell be 64 when the child graduates hi school. Not giving your child your best years.

REALY?? unprotected sex?? WTH did you think was goin gto happen?? Good thing you didnt get an STD

First, Congratulations to Hallie and Oliver and Nahla. Secondly, I truly don’t understand people that spew out hate towards people, why did you even read the article if you got that much hate in your heart? Why didn’t the haters skip this altogether? Do you get your kicks off or something, what type of mindset do you have? Didn’t your mother ever teach you the old saying, if you don’t have something nice to say, then don’t say it. Some of you all really need to learn some serious lessons!

Congratulations to the both of you.

Women why do we put each other down? Why can’t we be happy for her?

This pregnancy was planned. A diabetic woman, 46 years of age, needs medical assistance (fertility drugs, procedures, etc.) to become pregnant. She should just be honest about it. I wish her well.

Why so much hate for a women you don’t know? Everyone talks about she’s crazy, I see no one placing blame on the men she had relationships with. Let’s see, David Justice, Eric Bent both cheated on her. Wesley Snipes beat her, causing her to have hearing lost in one ear. Have any of you haters considered, maybe she’s not the crazy one. We don’t live in her house, or know all the in’s and out’s of her relationships. Women are hateful!!

Older celebrities get pregnant with increasing frequency. But when was the last time one of these ladies gave birth to a child with Downs Syndrome? Funny that.

My grandmother had 14 children, and her last child was born when she was 45. No donor eggs and no surrogate.

Halle Berry is 46, and so is Michelle Duggar. But many of you CRITICIZE Halle and celebrate Michelle; what IS WRONG with this picture? Halle is an A+ actress with one child; Michelle is reality TV personality with 19 children, who would like to have more children.) Do we know either of them, personally? No; we do NOT. Judge not least you be judged.

It’s entirely possible that she’s saying it’s a surprise because they haven’t been using protection for a while now, and assumed she couldn’t get pregnant because she hadn’t. Or because the fertility treatments took forever to work although I recognize that women can get pregnant naturally at 46.

I’m amused at the people defending Halle by saying she’s beautiful. Looks aren’t everything.

I agree, she’s very attractive. I liked her acting and the roles she played. But after splitting with Gabriel, I lost most respect for her. As an adult who chose to have a child with him, it’s her responsibility to act like an adult and co-parent with him (as it is his responsibility also). Her constant mud-slinging, her attempts to take the child out of the country, and having/allowing her boyfriend beat him up are beyond reproach. I feel she was trying to use her star power to manipulate the courts into getting what she wants. I do believe that charges again Gabriel were dropped after he had his say – proof that he didn’t start the fight, and the pictures are proof that he didn’t give half as much as he got. I hope to heck Nahla wasn’t there to see her step father beat up her father. That WOULD make a good case for therapy, and would make for some very uncomfortable moments should Oliver still be around when Nahla hits her teens.

At nearly 50… this is hardly the “biggest surprise of her life”. I would assume, it would have been all three of the “HIT AND RUN” episodes that plague her life.

Can we please turn off the hate. No one knows the circumstances or personslities involved apart from those actually involved. Every baby is a blessing, and no one has the right to assume they will be parented or will grow up in a way that is destructive. It makes me so sad. Focus on the blessings, please.

It can happen…my maternal grandmother had her first baby at 44…way before fertility drugs…and I know someone who had a baby at 47…no fertility drugs and a BIG surprise!

uhm.. really?? what did she think was going to happen when she had unproected sex.. thank goodness the ONLY thing she got was pregnant!!! DAMB A@@

She looks beatiful and happy…and its so amasing that she’s 46 and looks like 30..Oliver is so handsome. I just wish them lots of love, peace and happiness..

It always amazes me that people who are having unprotected sex on a regular basis are amazed that they get pregnant, DUH!!!

She has enough money to pay her own and her baby’s medical bills, buy the kids formula and food, clothes and pay for housing and day care if she needs it. She is definitely more prepared to be a good parent than half of new parents having babies who expect to use WIC,and EBT to feed it, medicaid to deliver it, housing assistance to shelter it and day care vouchers, pre K and headstart to teach it the ABC’s. If I do not have to pay for her kid, she can have as many as she wants.

Will this baby have dual citizenship? If so, Ms. Berry and Mr. Martinez may have cause to move the whole family (at least part time) to France. This may not be the surprise she claims (especially being diabetic).

OMG – she is such a nut case. I can’t believe she would bring one child into the world much less two. Poor things.

Halle Berry: This Pregnancy Was ‘Biggest Surprise of My Life’, why a surprise, unprotected sex causes babies..

Oh my goodness, did no one read the article? It’s the ‘biggest surprise of her life” and she ‘thought she was past that point”. It’s not IVF. She is a pre-menopausal woman with a healthy lifestyle and body weight, that had unprotected sex. While it’s not as easy as at 26, it certainly can and does happen. Congrats Halle, and good luck to you!

i don’t understand halle berry’s statement that the pregnancy was “her biggest surprise”; what does she think this is, “immaculate conception”? it is obvious she has been having unprotected sex outside wedlock and the guy scored a goal;

Ughhh..yes she is 46! Yes she is having another baby! I say congrats and its damn amazing and a gift! Why judge wen its not ur life or your children. Wat she does will not change ur life in any way..soooo look the other way if this news/gossip is not for u! Wishing her and any woman who can be strong when so many want to see u fail.

How the hell could this be a surprise? what? You roll around in the sack and get preggers. She’ll be 67 when her son is just 20. How freaking sorry is that?

Even though she is 46 she will have plenty of help. Look how many grandparents are raising their grandchildren because the children are not capable. They are lots older than 46.

I no longer care for Halle Berry because of the way she has treated her daughter’s father. After she had the baby she wanted to call all the shots and not allow him to see his daughter. Will probably do the same with this baby. Good luck to you Halle. You’ve lost a fan.

On this same page there is a story of Tom Arnold becoming a father at 53 and no one is saying he’s too old yet Halle is 46 and everyone is hung up on her age. Come on people, too old is too old man or woman. Those kids will have good and bad from their parents just like regular kids. Rehab is not just kids who are privileged. And finally, we all care because we’re here reading about it.

People are we forgetting that Geena Davis had her first child at 46, then her twins at 48. So lay off the “Oh! she is having a baby at 46…OMG!” Shut-UP and Grow up. Women can have children at any age thay want, if they are healthy and can afford them. So shut the fuck up already. Gosh!

She doesn’t rate high on the likeability meter. Perhaps it was her vile custody battle with the X, whom was then beat to a pulp by her current significant other. She needs to get the PR machine cracking to create a better perception. Just my two cents.

if I were pregnant at 46, I would not consider traveling anywhere except to a local store.

Surprised??? I hate when people say that! Your had UNPROTECTED sex obviously over and over again so yes the possibilit of getting pregnant is there!

I’m happy for Halle & Oliver I wish them the best!!

Nobody ever said the ‘B-tch’ has good sense. Her acting abilities stink and her sense of reason doesn’t smell much better.

At her age I highly doubt this pregnancy was a surprise. I’m sure it was with the help of science
