But Halle’s baby joy has been tempered by her fears that her diabetes could turn the happiest event of her life into a difficult pregnancy.

“Halle is so happy right now,” said an insider. “She’s wanted a baby for so long. But at the same time she’s scared because she is very aware of the complications that having diabetes can cause during pregnancy. She’s doing everything possible to make sure her baby is born healthy.”


Halle, who turned 41 on August 14, vowed to her pal, Oprah Winfrey, two years ago that she was determined to have a baby before she turned 40. After two failed marriages, one to baseball slugger David Justice and another to singer Eric Benet, she had at last given up hope of having her own child and said she was considering adoption.
