Voted Miss Teen All-American at age 14, then runner-up to Miss USA at age 20, it's no wonder Halle Berry began her professional modeling career. As a result, it was in West Coast and The Living Dolls that the American actress and producer came to mainstream television attention.
She made her first film debut alongside Samuel L. Jackson in Jungle Fever, but it was X-Men in 2000 that brought her real cinematic notoriety. The consecration came in 2002 with the Oscar for Best Actress for her role in In the Shadow of Hate.
On the private side, the actress married Olivier Martinez in July 2013, and the couple gave birth to a baby boy, Maceo, in October of the same year. In October 2015, after several months of rumors, the couple announced that they were starting divorce proceedings.
The actress also has a daughter, Nahla Ariela Aubry, born in 2008, from her relationship with model Gabriel Aubry. In September 2017, Halle Berry formalized her love affair with Alex de Kid, rapper and producer, sixteen years younger. In February 2021, she appears with singer Van Hunt on social networks.
