Dubbed mommy's little fitness helper and nicknamed "Thunder" in a 2021 birthday Instagram post, Maceo-Robert Martinez was born on Oct. 5, 2013. He's Berry's youngest child and only son, whom she shares with ex-husband Oliver Martinez. According to the actor, Maceo doesn't know just how famous his mama is, but he's aware to an extent. He's even tested it out in public a few times: " . . . my son has been saying my full name really loudly in public like, 'Halle Berry, can you pass me the ketchup?'" the actor shared in her 2019 InStyle interview. "He knows it gets a reaction from people, but he can't quite figure out why."
As quick as Berry is to joke about Maceo, she's just as fast to stand up for him. In March 2020, during the COVID-19 pandemic, the "X-Men" actor posted an Instagram video of her son showing off her tall white heeled boots (which are beautiful, might we add), and fans were quick to judge and give their own two cents in the comments. "It's tight on these kids right now. Let's have a laugh and some compassion," Berry clapped back, per Prevention.
Speaking to AARP in 2021, Berry shared how Maceo solidified his relationship with her boyfriend Hunt. "My son, Maceo, of his own volition did this little commitment ceremony for us in the back seat of the car," she said. "I think he finally sees me happy, and it's infectious. It was a very real moment for all of us. I teared up, Van was fighting back tears. Even Maceo knew he'd said something poignant. It meant a lot to us."
