New York, March 17: Halle Berry doesn`t just play a mom in movies anymore. The 41-year-old actress had a baby girl on Sunday, and "is doing great," her publicist Meredith O`Sullivan told a website. It is her first child.
The father is 32-year-old model Gabriel Aubry. The two met while shooting a Versace ad in Los Angeles two years ago.
Berry told Oprah Winfrey on her show last year that playing a mother in her latest movie, "Things We Lost in the Fire," helped convince her that motherhood was for her.
"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."
Berry won the best-actress Oscar for 2001`s "Monster`s Ball." She also won an Emmy and a Golden Globe for 1999`s "Introducing Dorothy Dandridge."
Berry had said she and Aubry don`t plan to marry, but feel fully committed to each other.
