Halle Berry having more kids?

On a recent appearance on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno, Halle Berry spoke out about motherhood, whether or not she is going to have another one and her daughter’s one-year birthday celebration.

Although she’s previously been quoted saying that she wouldn’t mind giving her daughter Nahla a sibling, she told Jay, “My mind wants another child, but my body is saying something else.”

One thing is for sure. She has absolutely no plans to wed her baby daddy and  beau Gabriel Aubry. After giving the host a definitive “no,” she added: The answer to that is never going to change.”

Nahla recently turned one and Halle said they had a very low-key celebration for the little one. “I don’t really understand why you have to [have a big party]. We had cheap little party hats, from like CVS,” she revealed.

Halle also told Jay, “I am enjoying motherhood. It’s been the best thing that has ever happened to me in my whole life, actually.”

Figure skater and stay-at-hom dad

Though six months out of the year, professional figure skater Michael Weiss is on the road with Smucker’s “Stars on Ice,” he gets to spend the other six months as a stay-at-home dad to his 10-year-old daughter Annie-Mae and his 9-year-old son Christopher. He reveals that his kids have not shown much interest in taking after dad in the skating department, but he’s okay with that.

I don’t necessarily want to them to do what I’m doing just because I did it,” he told the Times Union. Using his own parents as role  models he says, You have to find a balance as to when you’re pushing too hard.”

Reese Witherspoon is “such a mom”

On a recent appearance on The Ellen DeGeneres Show, actress Reese Witherspoon talked about her most important role: that of mom to 9-year-old Ava Elizabeth and 5-year-old Deacon Reese.

She admits, “I say lots of mom things, all sorts of things I never thought I would say. Like, you know, I’m not your friend — I’m your mother.” She added, “It’s not nice sometimes to be a mom, you have to be really tough. It is a very fine line. You can’t cross over it. Otherwise, they might think they’re winning.”

Though Reese is an award-winning actress, not to mention beautiful and seemingly humble, her kids at times think of her as “a huge dork.” We think she’s amazing, and a great mom, too!
