Actress Halle Berry gives birth to baby girl

New York: 41-year-old actress Halle Berry gave birth to her first child – a baby girl – on Sunday.

The father is 32-year-old model Gabriel Aubry. The two met while shooting a Versace ad in Los Angeles two years ago.

Berry told Oprah Winfrey on her show last year that playing a mother in her latest movie, ''Things We Lost in the Fire,'' helped convince her that motherhood was for her.

Berry won the best-actress Oscar for 2001's ''Monster's Ball.'' She also won an Emmy and a Golden Globe for 1999's ''Introducing Dorothy Dandridge.''
