Halle Berry has revealed she thought she’d have to become a single mum before she met partner Gabriel Aubry.
She told Oprah Winfrey recently: “I had resigned myself to, ‘I’m going to be single until I’m 50, at least, and I’ll have a child on my own’. I was really okay with that.”
But then she met Canadian model Gabriel during a Versace photo shoot: “There were, like, just pheromones flying off the walls.”
Halle swore off marriage after her second divorce and Gabriel feels the same way: “What Gabriel and I have decided is we will just redefine marriage for ourselves. You know, that paper isn’t worth anything to me anymore. I don’t want to do that again … I feel more married in a way than I ever have in two marriages before.”
“We view life the same way. He really understands the spiritual connection is so much more important than the paper and the pomp and the circumstance and the ceremony. And that feels important to us.”
“He’s always his authentic self, never worried about being judged. To walk with that kind of confidence … and with integrity, I know he has ability to love me, love our children, and he will do that.”
When questioned on the use of the word “children”, Halle explained: “there’s just one right now. But we’re hoping right after this one to do it again.”
