Halle Berry’s son Maceo-Robert Martinez turned 8 on October 5th, and his famous mama shared a rare image on Instagram to celebrate. In the adorable image, Maceo is rocking a fun look wearing a newsboy hat and camo shorts. His brown jacket had a rope tied around it and what looks like hay coming out of the gloves so it‘s possible he was trying on his scarecrow Halloween costume when she snapped the pic. Berry wrote, “this little dude is 8 today!” In the caption adding, “Happy Birthday THUNDER! ❤️” which could be his nickname.

They met in 2010 on the set of Dark Tide and they got married while she was pregnant with Maceo on July 13, 2013, at the Chateu des Conde in France. They filed for divorce in 2015 after 2 years of marriage.
Maceo isn‘t the only one celebrating this week. It was revealed that Berry, is among the honorees at this year’s edition of the Critics Choice Association’s annual Celebration of Black Cinema & Television event along with Anthony Anderson, Jennifer Hudson, and Barry Jenkins.
