Veteran actress Halle Berry may be chronically online, but that doesn’t mean the same thing applies to her kids. In fact, she’s done a pretty good job at not having her kids all over social media. But that all changed on Monday thanks to a new milestone her daughter just hit.

As you may remember, the “Monster’s Ball” star has two children. The eldest is her 17-year-old daughter Nahla Ariela, whom she shares with ex-boyfriend Gabriel Aubry. Berry’s youngest is her 12-year-old son Maceo-Robert whom she shares with ex-husband Olivier Martinez. However, it was Ariela who was the center of attention this week thanks to a sweet, since-expired post Berry made to her Instagram stories.
In it, the “John Wick” star congratulated her daughter on getting an early college acceptance letter though she didn’t disclose which school it was. Earlier in the year, Berry previously shared that Ariela would be attending a college summer program so now that it’s complete and seeing this early acceptance–it’s clear her efforts have paid off!
“Congratulations to my sweet Angel Nahla for her early college acceptance!” she wrote showing a video of a pink Sweet Lady Jane cake that had ” You Did It Nahla!” written in white icing.
In the next post, she shared a sweet moment of her and Ariela wearing matching pink outfits, though her daughter’s back was to the camera. What we could see, however, is that Ariela is rocking a red bob and some sky high heels that made her taller than her famous mom.
Look, we know we’re not entitled to seeing every part of a celeb’s private life, but it is endearing to see just how much Berry’s daughter has grown up, as most fans can only remember her in rare occasions her younger years. That decision to keep her daughter out of the public eye is one that the “Bruised” star came to many years ago and divulged on why in 2019.
“I’ve fought really hard to protect their privacy, and I just want them to have their life and have it be theirs,” Berry told “Today” at the time.
“I just don’t want to plaster them all over the internet. That just doesn’t feel right for me. They’re gonna do that soon enough. That’s gonna be their life when they grow up, and they will choose when that starts,” she explained.
