Halle Berry shares rare photos of teenage daughter Nahla on her birthday

The first picture shows a black and white framed portrait of Halle cuddling and laughing with Nahla when she was younger. The frame has the words ‘Love you more’ written on it with white text.

The two following snaps are more recent, with one showing Nahla posing on a hammock with her back towards the camera while the last picture features Halle’s daughter wearing an oversized flannel shirt while holding a hat over her face.

The Best Actress Academy Award winner is notoriously private and tends to keep her children out of the public eye, which is probably why Nahla’s face is hidden in two of the pictures.

Halle gushed about her daughter, with whom she shares with Canadian model Gabriel Aubry. In the caption she wrote: “One of the greatest gifts the universe has given me is my daughter, Nahla.”

The caption continues: “She is the sun that never fades and the moon that never wanes! Please join me in wishing her a happy 15^th birthday today! I love you sweet angel.”

Halle also shares a nine-year-old son named Maceo with ex-husband Olivier Martinez.

Lots of celebrities commented on the post to share their well wishes.

Viola Davis penned: “Happiest of birthdays beautiful Nahla!!”

Another How to Get Away with Murder star, Amirah Vann, posted: “Happy birthday Nahla!”

Empire creator Lee Daniels commented two heart emojis and a birthday cake.

Mario Lopez wrote: “HBD Nahla!”

Halle’s fans also admitted they ‘feel so old’ after learning Nahla’s age.

One wrote: “15???? I feel so old omg.”

Another commenter jokingly asked: “Is that ‘15^th’ a typo? That human cannot be 15 already. Wow…Happy Birthday, young lady!

A third shared: “Wow 15. Where did those years go?”

Halle previously explained why she keeps her children out of the limelight. In an interview with Today in 2019: “I just don’t want to plaster them all over the internet. That just doesn’t feel right for me. They’re gonna do that soon enough. That’s gonna be their life when they grow up and they will choose when it starts.”

The Catwoman star added: “I’ve fought really hard to protect their privacy and I just want them to have their life and have it be theirs.”
