Halle Berry Says She Won't Marry Gabriel Aubry

Halle Berry once famously vowed she’d never again tie the knot after two failed marriages.

Now, not even pregnancy will change her mind.

Halle is telling Oprah Winfrey that she has no plans to wed model-boyfriend Gabriel Aubry, the father of her baby.

When asked by Oprah during a taping of her show, “Are you still in that space?” Halle replied, “Yes.”

She continued, “What Gabriel and I have decided is that we will just redefine marriage for ourselves.”

Halle and Gabriel’s baby is due in the spring.

Personally, I think people need to mind their own business! That’s what’s wrong with the world now! I’m mixed and all of my first cousins are mixed. They look white/italian because their parents are black and white, and I look black because my parents are black, white and mexican. To me skin color is nothing, Halle Berry has the right to date whoever she wants. If she feels that she doesn’t have to marry him to keep him by her side then good! If he loves her like he says he does then he would know words can’t prove it! If he loves her and then she can see that through his actions then maybe one day they’ll get married. As for the baby being called a bastard, I think that is innapropriate and honestly for someody to insult an innocent child is disgusting to me. Don’t you preach to Halle Berry about how black men aren’t evil. Nobody said she thought that! I date whatever race I feel like, so him being white doesn’t mean she’s done with black men. It just means that she is able to have a wider selection unlike some people. I think a little variety will do us all good! And it will eliminate the racism in this country if everyone is mixed! Everyone talks about how they honor MLK, his anniversary just passed. how about you honor his memory by not being so bigoted and open your hearts instead of your mouths all the time!

Where do people think that it is easy for a white woman to date a black if she is dating him she shall not return to her old neihborhood.

If she was a black man and he a white woman, would you people have the same feeling about this relationship? No, because that is normal to some, but as soon as a sista’/ black woman steps on the other side it’s a big problem. It’s not her fault that this is her better relationship….one with a white man! I think we all need to grow up and look past skin color.

their is a lot of racial backlash from blacks on this subject. it almost sounds racsist. maybe she went to a white guy because the only color that stuck by her and was there for her through the tough times was white like her mother for exanple. just a thought. the media doesn’t dog blackmen they do it to themselves.

Hey, Ressie, and My Opinion, I got news for you both. Not only is Halle EXACTLY as WHITE as she is BLACK, (no matter what you see by looking at her - I guess it’s YOU who are blinded by color)but it was her white parent that actually stuck around and showed her the love she feels safe w/- (Mariah? Alicia?) Maybe the first two hubbies didn’t want kids, or maybe she figured they’d leave afterward like her dad did.She’s the one who talked about her previous men being dishonest or abusive,not the’white media’. Of course if you find a man who isn’t dishonest or abusive, you WON’T speak negatively about him, and you might actually want a child w/ him. The ideal of course, wld be to marry the father of your child (the phrase ‘baby-daddy’ is beyond nauseating), but her parents were married, she was married, none of these unions worked out.She’s fearful, not looking for a white ticket. Those ignorant thoughts are SO unbelievably archaic, inane, and self-defeating; just an excuse not to move on - I’m embarrassed 4 U.

This should not be a black or white man issue. Halle has the right to be with whom she chooses. At the end of the day what she does only affects her.
As far as her setting an example for young men and women. We as parents should be the number one example setter for our children. If Halle chooses to have a baby out of marriage, that is between her and God.
What is the difference between her and any other white actress doing it? It is all wrong morally and scriptually; but our society glorifies it.
So how about all of us start setting better examples and stop writing and talking about bs that really does not matter when compared to deeper life issues. Focus on the positive in life not the negative. If you don’t like something you see on Oprah or David, then change the channel.

Well, maybe she’s not diabetic. Halle exaggerates the truth soooo much! She loves to play the victim.

I have diabetes, poor me I wanted to commit suicide when David left me, someone beat me (but I won’t reveal who), Eric cheated on me, boooo whoooo whooooo whoooo whoooo :(((((((((

Then her stories of love are always the same. “he’s so kind and loving” “I finally got it right” “I can be fine all by myself” “he’s the most gentle man I’ve know” “He loves me for me” “I’ve never been this happy before in my life” ALL OF THIS IS SAID ABOUT GABRIEL AND ALL OF THIS WAS SAID ABOUT ERIC.

Another one:
“We have fun in the bedroom, I play Storm!(this was said about Eric during the first X-Men premiere) — when i heard her say this to Conan about she and Gabriel I almost barfed!

I agree with the other poster. Remember your interviews Halle. You’re no better than a man who buys a necklace for one woman who leaves him and then he turns around and gives it to someone else saying “oh baby, when I saw this I only thought of you.” Hog wash!

I can actually believe Halle definitely had some help from the clinic. The woman is diabetic and 41. I really don’t believe it would be this easy for her…the moment she wants a baby she gets it. Plus, I find it interesting how she and Gabriel have been trying a LONG time. They have barely been dating 2 years. Clearly she needed a sperm donor. All the bs about not looking for a man PLEASE halle, remember your interviews…right before Gabriel and I GUESS after Michael you were whining to Tavis about how hard it is to find a man. Even after meeting Gabriel you were asking David Letterman for advice on how to get a man and keep him. You whined to the View about how you are a hopeless romantic and NEED to be in a relationship. Eric Benet stated that you do tend to lie a little. David Justice said the same thing. I guess it’s good that Gabriel allegedly has such great “integrity”…the child will at least learn it from somewhere.

PLUS, I thought it was COLD of Halle to say she had never been a mother before. WHAT ABOUT INDIA…Eric’s daughter.

HALLE — I think you should lay low for a while. SHUT YOUR MOUTH and continue to “do what you do” with your live-in sperm donor. OH AND ASK TIGER WOODS to play golf while you’re at it. (That comment was interesting considering Oprah at one point told Tiger that she wanted to hook him up romantically with Halle once —- and Halle knows this because she mentioned it on another talk show). JUST BE QUIET HALLE, you have a way with words that usually reveals your true colors….SO MANY INCONSISTENCIES!

How come she didn’t discuss her or have Oprah ask those health related questions?


- no mention of her diabetes?

More Halle fantasy bs—they did in-vitro proof from poster JayTee on tmz.com who works in the same building as the in-vitro clinic saying that she was seen going in and out of the building with a friend of theirs who worked at the clinic to confirm it and confirming Aubry’s the plastic cup pop.

See link:

www.tmz.com/2007/09/06/halle-berry-mom-crossing/

So, guess they really didn’t do the nasty 24/7 as she lied on Oprah. So, much for patient confidentiality or HIPPA violations?

Good post CW…but I don’t give them 3 more years together, I get them to the end of this year/mid-next year. You know all of Halle’s relationships start to fizzle at the 2 year mark or shortly there after. This one isn’t going to last as long as the others even including the separations/divorces. She also said many times both David and Eric were the greatest thing since sliced bread too until they got tired of her contradictory, self righteous bs.

Who’s living through their success —- they really do not look like a real couple. It seems forced, i.e., fake. Understand that hollywood is all about the image. Halle will tell you until her face is blue that Gabriel is the best thing since sliced bread…but at the end of the day…they have had a bi-coastal relationship for almost two years…and have based on her comments on Oprah have spent a lot of that time trying to have a baby. Do you really think she knows him…or does Halle WANT TO BELIEVE he is the ‘perfect’ man because she wants a baby so bad. I think in about 3 years Gabriel will show his true colors. Living together off and on…OF COURSE someone can seem perfect Halle —- they can turn it off and on for you —- especially when they need your star power for their restaurant.

With regard to the marriage piece…Cornel West said it best, these folks not wanting to get married, but trying to live the so called life of marriage are really living in manipulation and do not have the guts to share their vulnerabilities with someone.

At the end of the day Gabriel could creep and leave anytime he wants, which is probably what he will do in time.

I give them 3 more years as a couple.

Auntie O—WTF quit living vicariously through others success! Why still run the piece when she’s been getting death threat hate mail? All for the ratings—how sad. Let’s hope they are able to have more kids.

Great that she got what she wanted so far.She wanted a kid who ever she was with. Agree that Aubry (who probably is really gay/bi, got her pg by in-vitro and is on Halle’s payroll) if the rumors are true shouldn’t be compared to her past relationships.

Don’t think she purposely chose a white guy to get knocked up by, it just happened that way. She probably was coaxed by her manager and Oprah the relationship expert to do the deal.

She’s still recycling bs from last spring ‘about redefining marriage’. Will be surprised if she goes full-term and Aubry stays in the picture with the supprosed death threats—they would have to be suicidial with some wackos out there sending death threat letters(which I am sure real) if they plan to have kids—more media hype of Halle having a media field day with her movie coming.

I wonder if she always wanted a white baby. I mean…she married black, but when she got pregnant she chose white. I wish her all the best,but she can’t judge all black men the same. I couldn’t just give up on my race…because of a few bad apples. I have dated white guys,black guys..and you have dogs in every race. She can’t live her life, through her unborn child. If that child comes out white as snow, the world will make sure that they remember they have a black mom. Yes, shes half, but the world sees her as black. I just find it funny, that you wait till your 40..and have a baby out of wedlock with this white guy. I really hope she’s not taking care of him, but some people can be blinded by white.

Halle claims she has “found” love again. But homegirl still CAN’T TRUST A MAN ENOUGH to marry him. All of this “we are going to redefine marriage” is just a clever way of saying…Halle can’t find it in her to trust a man enough to marry him.

I too agree with the previous posters that I hope Halle having a baby and dating Gabriel does not mean she has given up on Black men. THERE ARE PLENTY OF GREAT BLACK MEN OUT THERE. If you look at television you would not know it! So I’m glad people are saying it loud on the message boards!
