LOS ANGELES (AP) -- Halle Berry is expecting her first child. The 41-year-old Academy Award-winning actress told the TV show "Access Hollywood" that she's three months' pregnant. She identified the father as boyfriend Gabriel Aubry.

"Gabriel and I are beyond excited, and I've waited a long time for this moment in life. Now the next seven months will be the longest of my life!" Berry wrote in an e-mail.

Berry and Aubry, a model, met in November 2005, the show said.

Calls to Berry's manager, Vince Cirrincione, were not immediately returned.

Berry won the best-actress Oscar for 2001's "Monster's Ball." She also won an Emmy and a Golden Globe for 1999's "Introducing Dorothy Dandridge."
