Halle Berry and her husband Olivier Martinez have welcomed their first child together, a boy named Maceo Robert Martinez!
“Halle Berry and Olivier Martinez welcomed their son yesterday,” Halle’s spokeswoman, Meredith O’Sullivan Wasson, told AFP.
The pair, both 47, married in July in a secret ceremony People magazine reported.
Halle’s first child with ex-boyfriend Gabriel Aubry, Nahla, is clearly delighted to be a big sister and was seen skipping and dancing through the maternity ward on Sunday night.
“Olivier hasn’t left Halle’s side. Nahla visited her baby brother earlier today,” a source told People.
The name Maceo is of Spanish origin and was popular in the 9th through to the 14th century. The modern day version is Matteo or Matthew which means ‘gift of god’.
Back in June Olivier let slip that the pair were expecting a boy.
“My son will be an American, but I remain French,” he said while chatting to reporters on the red carpet at a film festival in France.
“I remain a Frenchman in America, but I adapt to American culture. I feel good there — but I’m still a foreigner.”
Halle denied she knew the sex of the baby, but said she was surprised to be pregnant at 47.
“I feel fantastic. This has been the biggest surprise of my life to tell you the truth,” she said.
“I 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.”
