Birthdays are often as much of a milestone for parents as they are for their children, and Halle Berry recently proved she's making the most of her daughter's birthday. The actress shared three photos on Instagram to mark young Nahla Ariela Aubrey's 15th year.

The first image showed a picture frame containing a photo of the mother and her daughter sharing a laugh. The second showed Nahla relaxing on a hammock, while the third had her sitting on a couch, covering her face with a brown hat. Halle makes a point of not sharing her daughter's face.

Users responded positively to the images of Halle's daughter, with many of Halle's followers sending their best wishes for her birthday. In the past, Halle has kept her daughter out of the limelight, hoping to keep her away from the press and give her a life with privacy.

Halle Shares Daughter's Rare Pics on Her Birthday and Causes a Real Stir

Considering how rare it is for Halle to share photos of her daughter, fans were understandably caught unaware by Nahla's sudden appearance on her mom's Instagram feed. The proud mom captioned the unexpected images with a sweet message:

"One of the greatest gifts the universe has given me is my daughter, Nahla. She is the sun that never fades and the moon that never wanes! Please join me in wishing her a happy 15th Birthday today! I love you sweet angel."

Besides wishing Nahla a happy birthday, fans also expressed their surprise at seeing Halle post about her daughter. A common theme in the comment section was also disbelief at how quickly Nahla grew up. One astounded user commented, "Is that '15th' a typo? That human cannot be 15 already."

Halle shares Nahla with her ex, Gabriel Aubry. Nahla is the oldest of Halle's two kids, the second being her nine-year-old brother, Maceo Martinez. Halle conceived the younger boy with her second partner, Olivier Martinez.

Even though Halle and Gabriel work together to raise their daughter, the pair had a less-than-friendly bout of lawsuits after Halle accused her ex of dying Nahla's hair blonde.

The mother-of-two has spoken about raising her kids numerous times, saying they inspire her daily. Halle confessed that her kids are the main thing that keeps reminding her how crucial it is to keep changing, working, and exploring new outlooks on life. She tries her best to make Nahla and Maceo proud of her.

Although Halle, the beauty icon, doesn't show her daughter on her Instagram often, she has gushed about her personality in interviews. When the actress started her fragrance line, she shared that Nahla often critiqued the scents. The proud mom confessed that Nahla has been a "girly girl" since she was young.

Who's Nahla's Dad Who Reportedly Tried to Change Her Hair and Was Taken to Court by Halle?

Nahla's father also congratulated his daughter on Instagram. Gabriel posted a snapshot of Nahla on a swing and wrote in the caption how much he adores his little girl. The model gushed about how quickly Nahla is growing up, writing:

"Happy Birthday my beautiful little Nahla. Nothing brings more joy than seeing you grow into the amazing little woman that you are 💜."

Gabriel and Halle met at a photo shoot for the fashion company Versace. They started talking and found they had a lot in common. In 2005, the pair ended up dating and welcomed their daughter on March 16, 2008. In 2010, Halle and Gabriel decided it would be better to go their separate ways, although they continue to co-parent.

Even though Halle and Gabriel work together to raise their daughter, the pair had a less-than-friendly bout of lawsuits after Halle accused her ex of dying Nahla's hair blonde. According to sources, Halle realized something was off after she saw Nahla's hair was damaged in a way that would suggest it was dyed.

After a great effort to loosen Nahla's hair, Halle realized the only option they had left was a drastic one.

The actress asked Gabriel whether he had dyed his daughter's hair, but the model denied it. Halle kept questioning Gabriel to no avail and eventually opened a court case against him. The actress gathered a sample of her daughter's hair and sent it to be analyzed. The results proved that her hair had been dyed, and courts ruled in her favor.

Following this incident, the two have worked together much more amicably. Internet users have noted how much Nahla looks like her dad, stating, "That baby looks like her daddy." Another user wrote, "She has her dad's face."

Why Did Halle Berry Shave Nahla's Hair?

Gabriel isn't the only one who landed in hot water for messing with his daughter's hair. Halle appeared on an episode of "The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon," where she told the story of how she had to cut her daughter's hair.

The mother kept her kids active during Covid by going for daily swims. Unfortunately, Nahla didn't allow her mom to brush her hair afterward, which resulted in a giant knot at the back of her hair. Eventually, she revealed the knot to her mom, who tried for 30 minutes to get it out, but it wouldn't budge.

After a great effort to loosen Nahla's hair, Halle realized the only option they had left was a drastic one. Halle commented, "I had to shave it off," leaving her "bald in the back." Although Nahla wasn't happy with the results, the ordeal turned out to be a great learning experience.

Halle, a single mother of two like her own mom, Judith Ann Hawkins, was entirely justified in cutting her daughter's hair off, some users found fault with her solution, saying she could have done something else about the conundrum. One social media user commented, "Cutting her daughters hair was ridiculous and unnecessary."
