Halle Berry and Olivier Martinez expecting a baby

Halle Berry is expecting a baby with fiance Olivier Martinez.

TMZ first broke the news, but People confirmed with Berry's rep that the couple will welcome their first child together this fall. They are reportedly having a baby boy. The new baby will join Berry's first child, 5-year-old daughter, Nahla Ariela, from her previous relationship with Gabriel Aubry.

"She truly seems beyond happy," a friend told People of Berry, who is reportedly about three months along. "She always talks about being a mom and she definitely wanted this for a long time."

Berry, 46, and Martinez, 47, became engaged in January 2012. And last fall, Barry admitted that Nahla was pining for a sibling.

"Every night, we do our prayers," she explained at the time. "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.'"

Now that her pregnancy prayer is answered, she just has to pray for an easy time, like her first.

"My pregnancy was amazing. I was happy that whole time, I felt good, I had energy, I was like Superwoman," she told Harper's Bazaar. "I wish I could feel like that for the rest of my life, that's how fantastic it was."

Guess she's one of the lucky ones.
