Berry gives birth to daughter

Halle Berry has become a mother for the first time at the age of 41 after giving birth to a baby girl.

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.

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'.

Both mother and baby are said to be doing well.
