Halle Berry welcomes a son with Olivier Martinez

accreditation
Halle Berry welcomed her first son with her husband Olivier Martinez. Their little boy was born on Saturday the 5th October 2013 at Cedars Sinai Medical Hospital in LA.

This is the pair’s first child together, and Halle’s first son. Halle’s daughter Nahla Ariela Aubry was born on March 16, 2008, with model ex –boyfriend, Gabriel Aubry.

Halle surprised everyone when she became pregnant again at age 46 — but no one was more surprised about the news than she was herself!

“I feel fantastic,” Halle told CNN’s Alina Cho about her pregnancy in an April 8 interview. “This has been the biggest surprise of my life, to tell you the truth. 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.”

According to Dailymail, Halle and Olivier have chosen a name that is very special to both of them. Their first son is named Maceo Robert Martinez.

They reportedly selected for a middle name Robert, after the French actor's Spanish father. The last name is Martinez.

Maceo originally comes from Spain and was popular from the ninth to 14th centuries. It morphed into Matteo then Matthew over time.

The name translates to ‘Gift Of God’. It's easy to figure out how Halle landed on that name because she several times said her pregnancy was a 'miracle.'

Congrats to the happy couple!
