Halle Berry also shared that during Nahla's tough time, "a little part" of her was dying. She said, "But in this moment, it's the single most important thing to be rejected and have a breakup and she feels like she's dying. A little part of me is dying and I can't tell her that because she'll just say, 'Mom, you don't understand.'"

Regardless of the cause of the breakup, Berry knew she had to help pick up the pieces. And the best way to do so was to simply be there with Nahla. She has done the same when her 10-year-old son, Maceo, was upset.

The actress is a mom to daughter Nahla Ariela, 16, and son Maceo-Robert, 10 Halle Berry is getting candid about her role as a mom. On Tuesday, Sept. 17, the Oscar-winning actress, 58, opened up about her perspective on motherhood at a roundtable event for her new movie Never Let Go in New York City.
