Halle Berry's Dinner Date

Halle Berry goes out on a dinner date with her boyfriend, Gabriel Aubry, at Mr. Chow restaurant on Tuesday (February 10) in Beverly Hills, Calif.

The 42-year-old actress graces the cover of the March 2009 issue of Essence and opens up about the different relationships in her life. Asked about dating Gabriel, Halle said, “I tried Black men. I tried. I married two Black men. You know I tried. I don’t hold all Black males responsible because of the two bad eggs I got. I even dated Black men after my last divorce, but this is just where I found love.”

Halle also shared about her baby Nahla, 11 months, and what she has learned through being a mom. “I thought I knew love before, but I never knew anything like this,” she said. “I would take a bullet for this child and think nothing of it. That’s a different kind of love.”
