Halle Berry is two months pregnant, it has been claimed. The 'X-Men' star - who turned 41 this week - has wanted to become a mother for some time and is said to be delighted after discovering she is expecting model boyfriend Gabriel Aubry's baby.

A source told National Enquirer magazine: "Halle is so happy right now. She's wanted a baby for so long."

"But at the same time she's scared because she is very aware of the complications that having diabetes can cause during pregnancy. She's doing everything possible to make sure her baby is born healthy."

According to medical experts, diabetes increases the risk of miscarriage, stillbirth and birth defects, but with proper care Halle has every chance of having a healthy baby.

The Oscar-winning star said earlier this year: "Having children is my next big project. I'm planning on becoming pregnant by the end of the year - it's my age, it's only natural."

"If it can't happen naturally, Gabriel and I will adopt."

Halle has made no secret of her yearning for motherhood, and vowed to get pregnant before she turned 40 last August. She told chat show host Oprah Winfrey: "If there's no serious man in my life when I get to that age, whoever I'm dating at the time, I'll say, 'Hey, would you like to have a baby?'"

Halle even contemplated artificial insemination before she started dating Gabriel, who at 32 is nine years her junior. She said last year: "It looks like the only option I have left is to head for the sperm bank! I've been so desperately unlucky in love and that has thwarted my desire for motherhood. It's so frustrating. I really yearn for a child and I can't wait much longer."
