Halle Berry and Gabriel Aubry’s daughter, Nahla Ariela Aubry is now 16. Born on March 16, 2008, her presence in the spotlight was inevitable, given her parents’ celebrity status. Over the years, Nahla has grown under the watchful eyes of her parents and admirers alike.

Recently, photos of Nahla towering over her mom sparked mixed reactions from internet users. While some were focused on her growth and transformation, others discussed her fashion choices. Her growth from a curly-haired toddler to a tall teenager has been well-documented through various public appearances and photographs since her early childhood.

Early Childhood: One-Year-Old

In 2009, Nahla was just a year old. In a heartwarming photo taken on August 23, she is seen cradled in her father’s arms. Her curly hair frames her curious, wide-eyed face.

Dressed in a simple white top and jeans, with tiny light green Crocs on her feet, Nahla is a picture of innocence. Aubry, looking every bit the doting dad, carries his daughter through the streets with a protective yet loving demeanor.

Later that year, on October 30, 2009, Nahla and her father are seen again, this time in Manhattan, New York City. Nahla, still a one-year-old, is bundled up for the cool weather in a dark coat and a cute white beanie.

Her expression is full of quiet curiosity as she takes in her surroundings. These early images capture her charm and the bond she shares with her parents.

As she grew into her toddler years, her adventures brought both joy and worry to her parents. At two years old, a particular incident showed just how challenging parenting can be. Berry shared a nerve-wracking experience that many parents can relate to.

A Toddler’s Adventures: Two Years Old

When Nahla was two, Berry experienced one of the scariest moments a parent can face. While shopping in a department store, Berry momentarily lost sight of her. She described frantically looking for her daughter, calling for the store’s doors to be shut to prevent anyone from leaving.

To Berry’s relief, Nahla was found just a foot away, hiding under a turnstile. As Nahla continued to grow, her appearances with her parents remained a source of public interest. Even at three years old, her bond with her parents and her evolving style was evident.

Growing Up: Three Years Old

By the time Nahla was three years old, she had already charmed the public with her sweet demeanor and close bond with her parents. On July 26, 2011, Nahla was seen holding hands with her mother in Century City, Los Angeles.

Nahla wore a black sundress with light blue shoes, her curly hair longer and more defined. This outing showed a glimpse of their close mother-daughter relationship.

As Nahla continued to grow, the bond she shared with her parents remained strong. By the time she was five, her evolving style and personality were increasingly evident.

Adorable Moments: Five Years Old

When Nalhla was five, her charm and personality were even more captivating. On May 14, 2013, in Los Angeles, she was spotted leaving a store with her mother.

Dressed in a purple tank top adorned with colorful heart designs and white leggings, her hair was neatly tied into pigtails, and she carried a shopping bag, looking every bit the stylish and happy little girl.

Just a few days later, on May 17, 2013, Nahla was seen walking hand-in-hand with her father, Aubry. She wore a white sundress with colorful embroidery, beige shorts, and white sneakers, her long curly hair flowing freely. Her joyful expression and tight grip on her father’s hand showed their close bond.

Throughout May 2013, Nahla was often photographed with her parents, each image highlighting her growing style and playful personality. Whether sticking out her tongue at the camera or exploring a pumpkin patch, her innocence and joy were always evident.

On July 23, 2013, Nahla was captured in a bright red sundress and stylish sunglasses, walking hand-in-hand with her pregnant mother. Her hair was up in a bun, and her confidence was evident, even at such a young age.

As Nahla reached six years old, her evolving style and personality continued to draw attention. However, this period also brought some challenges and controversies for her family, particularly concerning her appearance.

Controversy: Six Years Old

When Nahla was six, her family faced a significant controversy regarding her appearance. Berry took her ex-partner, Aubry, to court, accusing him of straightening and lightening their daughter’s naturally curly hair.

Berry claimed that these actions were an attempt to alter Nahla’s appearance to deny her African-American heritage.

The court documents revealed Berry’s concerns about the psychological and physical impact these changes could have on Nahla. She worried that altering her natural look might make her question why her natural appearance wasn’t acceptable.

Despite the controversy, Nahla continued to grow and flourish. Her public appearances with her parents showed a young girl growing more confident and self-assured with each passing year.

Transition to Adolescence: 7 to 12 Years Old

As Nahla entered her pre-teen years, her growth and evolving style became even more apparent. By the time she was seven years old, she was frequently seen with her mother.

One notable moment was in October 2015, when she was spotted walking hand-in-hand with Berry. She wore a red polo shirt and a light gray skirt, her curly hair framing her face and held back with glasses. At this age, she stood noticeably taller, her head reaching around her mother’s upper waist.

By nine years old, Nahla had grown even more. In a 2017 photo during a shopping and lunch outing with her mother in Los Angeles, she stood almost shoulder-height to Berry.

She wore a gray T-shirt, comfortable gray sweatpants, and fluffy slippers, her hair pulled back into a high, curly ponytail. Her increasing height and maturity were evident, showcasing her transition from a young girl to a budding adolescent.

In 2018, when Nahla was ten years old, her public outings continued to draw attention. One particular moment captured her enjoying an ice cream cone with her mother, both appearing relaxed and content. Her height had become a defining feature, as she now stood shoulder-height to Berry.

At eleven years old in 2019, she continued to grow taller, reaching her mother’s shoulder height. Despite her increasing visibility, Berry worked hard to protect Nahla’s privacy, explaining in a May 2019 interview that she wanted her children to have their own lives, away from the public eye.

By twelve years old in 2020, Nahla was often seen walking with her mother and younger brother, Maceo. Nahla’s height and mature presence were striking, as she now stood almost chin-height to her mother.

By the time Nahla turned fifteen, she had transformed into a poised and confident young woman, standing taller than her mother. Photos of her sparked a mix of admiration and debate among internet users.

Recent Years: 15 Years Old

On March 16, 2023, Berry posted photos to celebrate her daughter’s 15th birthday, and the images showcased just how much Nahla had grown and matured over the years.

In one photo, Nahla sat comfortably on a sofa, wearing a plaid shirt and a brown cap that partially hid her face. Her long legs stretched out, highlighting her tall stature and relaxed, confident demeanor. This image captured Nahla’s poised transition into young adulthood.

Another photo showed a younger Nahla lying on a net hammock over the water, with a scenic view in the background. She was dressed casually in a green top and denim shorts, her curly hair blowing in the breeze.

“My mini me (but not so mini anymore),” read a caption to another post shared by Berry on August 14, 2023. In these photos, Nahla towered over her mother, indicating just how much she had grown.

In the first photo, Berry sat casually in a white chair, enjoying a relaxed moment. She wore a pink dress with feathered trim and stylish pink boots, accessorized with a colorful heart-shaped purse. Her long hair cascaded naturally, and she exuded confidence and poise.

More photos captured Nahla walking alongside her mother, with her face away from view. From these angles, it was evident that she was taller than Berry, showcasing a significant growth spurt.

The reaction from fans was mixed. Some were amazed by how much Nahla had grown. Comments like, “Wow, that baby stretched herself right out, good for her! Tower over them all!” and “Omg, that’s Nahla? She’s so tall!” reflected the admiration for her growth. However, some fans were divided over her fashion choices.

While many praised her stylish outfits, others felt that her attire was too mature for her age. Comments such as, “The shoes, the dress. Pretty sure my 15-year-old will not be wearing that out of the house,” highlighted the debate over Nahla’s evolving style.

Sweet Sixteen

At sixteen, Nahla marks a milestone in her journey from childhood to young adulthood. Recently, Berry attended the 2024 CinemaCon where she was promoting her new horror movie, “Never Let Go.”

Speaking after the event, she couldn’t help but gush about her children. Berry proudly spoke about Nahla and her brother, saying, “My children are my most valued treasures.”

When asked if her children would see her new movie, Berry responded with a smile, “My 16-year-old daughter, yeah.” This moment highlighted the close bond between Nahla and her mother, as well as Nahla’s growing maturity and interest in her mother’s work.

Nahla’s transformation over the years, marked by public appearances and cherished family moments, showcases the loving support of her parents, Halle Berry and Gabriel Aubry.
