Halle Berry is pregnant with boyfriend Gabriel Aubry’s baby, the 41-year-old actress confirmed to “Access Hollywood’s” Nancy O’Dell in an e-mail on Tuesday.
“Yes, I am three months pregnant! Gabriel and I are beyond excited, and I’ve waited a long time for this moment in life. Now the next seven months will be the longest of my life!” she wrote to Nancy. "... You heard it from ME first!”
According to In Touch Weekly, Berry is due on Valentine's Day. The magazine also reports that Berry will be carefully monitored during the pregnancy, not only because of her age but also because she is a diabetic. She reportedly is being treated by a doctor who specializes in high-risk pregnancies.
An insider told the magazine the actress began undergoing fertility treatments in February.

Over the years, Berry has made no secret about her desire for a family. Back in April, Berry sat down with O'Dell for a candid talk about Berry's plans for kids.
“Not that there’s not more to accomplish, but I think I arrived at a point in life that I realized I needed more to get me up in the morning. More than going to a new movie set. Or as much fun as getting the star was yesterday, I need something even more profound than that and that’s family. And that’s children,” Berry said. ”I need that like the air to breathe these days and I’m ready. I’m at a point where I’m really, really ready.”
Halle and Gabriel met in November 2005.
Berry won an Oscar in 2002 for her work in “Monster's Ball.” Her new film, “Things We Lost In The Fire,” is set for release on Oct. 26.
