Halle Berry wants another child.

The 42-year-old actress – who already has one-year-old daughter Nahla Ariela with boyfriend Gabriel Aubry – is open to the idea of expanding her brood, but won’t allow herself to become fixated with the idea.

She told US talk show host Ellen DeGeneres: “My mind says yes, but the rest isn’t up to me so we’ll see.”

Despite Gabriel’s previous admission he wants a “big family”, Halle has no desire to have a huge brood.

Referring to mother-of-14 Nadya Suleman, who famously gave birth to octuplets in January, Halle joked: “I hope I don’t have, like, 14 more!”

Last October, Gabriel, 32, praised Halle’s parenting skills and claimed the pair were “working on” having more children.

He said: “I mean, look at her – she is unbelievable! She is the best mom that anybody could ask for – or wish for!”

Halle – who has been married twice – and Gabriel have been dating since 2005 after meeting on a Versace photo shoot.

Despite planning a future together, the pair are in no rush to wed, with Gabriel saying: “We have no plans for marriage. We are more married than ever, really.”

Joining a mass of fellow celebrities, Halle Berry  was spotted arriving at the 2009 Vanity Fair Oscar Party hosted by Graydon Carter at the Sunset Tower Hotel last night.

The “Monster’s Ball” babe was joined by her boyfriend/babydaddy Gabriel Aubry and looked stunning in a strapless black-with-gold-accents dress as she posed for the paparazzi.
