Halle Berry's publicist has confirmed reports the actress is pregnant with fiance Olivier Martinez's baby.

Sources claim the Oscar winner is expecting a boy later this year.

Her representative tells WENN, "I can confirm that Halle Berry and Oliver Martinez are expecting a child."

Berry, 46, is already mum to five-year-old Nahla Ariela - her daughter from a previous relationship with Gabriel Aubry, and the actress clearly had babies on the brain when she was interviewed last year about the possibility of becoming a mother again - she explained her little girl was keen to become a big sister.

Berry said, "Every night, we do our prayers, and she (Nahla) 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.'"
