When it comes to Halle Berry, mom’s the word. The Oscar-winner and her fiance, Olivier Martinez, are expecting their first child together, and — as E! News revealed last week — the actress is pregnant with a boy and is reportedly about 12 weeks along.

“I feel fantastic,” the 46-year-old tells CNN.

“This has been the biggest surprise of my life to tell you the truth,” she adds. “I thought I was kind of past the point where this could be a reality for me. So it’s been a big surprise and the most wonderful.”
