Halle Berry is pregnant.

A representative for the 46-year-old actress confirms that Halle Berry and her fiance, Olivier Martinez, are expecting their first child together. There are media reports that it's a boy.

Publicist Meredith O'Sullivan Wasson offered no other details.

Halle Berry won an Academy Award for Best Actress in 2002 for her performance in Monster's Ball, becoming the first and, so far, the only African-American woman to win an Oscar for a leading role. In Monster's Ball, Berry played the widow of a criminal, and she falls in love with a Southern death-row guard. Currently, Berry is starring in 'The Call,' a movie about a 911 dispatcher who pursues a serial killer.

Berry and Martinez announced their engagement last year. Berry has a daughter, Nahla, with her ex-boyfriend, Gabriel Aubry. The two settled their custody battle over the 5-year-old in November.

Every night, we do our prayers," Berry said during a November appearance on The Wendy Williams Show., according to Eonline. "We pray to God, so sweet. She says, 'God, please bring me a bunk bed and a baby sister.' And I say, ‘I can do one of those things, I know for sure. The other one, we've got to keep praying on.'"

This is the first child for Martinez.

Dear Reader,

About a year ago, I happened upon this statement about the Monitor in the Harvard Business Review – under the charming heading of “do things that don’t interest you”:

“Many things that end up” being meaningful, writes social scientist Joseph Grenny, “have come from conference workshops, articles, or online videos that began as a chore and ended with an insight. My work in Kenya, for example, was heavily influenced by a Christian Science Monitor article I had forced myself to read 10 years earlier. Sometimes, we call things ‘boring’ simply because they lie outside the box we are currently in.”

If you were to come up with a punchline to a joke about the Monitor, that would probably be it. We’re seen as being global, fair, insightful, and perhaps a bit too earnest. We’re the bran muffin of journalism.

But you know what? We change lives. And I’m going to argue that we change lives precisely because we force open that too-small box that most human beings think they live in.

The Monitor is a peculiar little publication that’s hard for the world to figure out. We’re run by a church, but we’re not only for church members and we’re not about converting people. We’re known as being fair even as the world becomes as polarized as at any time since the newspaper’s founding in 1908.

We have a mission beyond circulation, we want to bridge divides. We’re about kicking down the door of thought everywhere and saying, “You are bigger and more capable than you realize. And we can prove it.”

If you’re looking for bran muffin journalism, you can subscribe to the Monitor for $15. You’ll get the Monitor Weekly magazine, the Monitor Daily email, and unlimited access to CSMonitor.com.
