His following exposure on local fashion news spreads lead to his early assignments with Calvin Klein, Versace, Exte and a few others, but Gabriel didn't achieved his supermodel status untill the arrival of the new millenium, when he was exclusively featurd in Hugo Boss ad campaigns. This beautiful adonis now belongs to the group of elite models in the industry. Currently residing in New York constantly under the attention of fashion media, Gabriel is still a little reserved and timid around paparazzi, maybe because he is from Canada and is still influenced by the relatively conservative Canadian tradition. This young man is very far away from the sexy image and "glamour", of which his principal employer Hugo Boss portrays him in publicities. "I was always a super-shy person. I do not like to be made and followed by the cameras." says Gabriel. Contrary to most women, men do not dream to be mannequins, they often become it by accident. It is the case of Gabriel being discoverd in a night club. Gabriel is described as the prototype of androgynous or boyish model that seems to prevail at the moment in the fashion. The sharpened nose, the blue eyes and the squre chin are his own characteristics in addition to his challenging and seductive glance. He is on the runways in fashion capital cities in the world. He also projects a portrait of the perfect gentleman during his photoshoots. His work for Hugo Boss is one of his most important stints as a model, joining Mini Anden and Amber Valleta in the campaigns of Spring/Summer 2002. Both photoshoots were done with the accomplished photographer Craig McDean.These campaign ads has been described as one of the best examples of romanticism in high fashion advertisements. On the runways, he is one of the favorites of Versace, Cerruti and Ralph Lauren, and among others. He established the fact that Canadians can and will be known as one of the most important supplier of the best male models for the fashion industry, joined by such names as Phil Missig, Joel McMillan and Robert Perovich to prove just that.

Early life

Berry's maternal grandmother, Nellie Dicken, was born in Sawley, Derbyshire, England, while her maternal grandfather, Earl Ellsworth Hawkins (an American), was born in Ohio.

Personal life

Berry has been married twice; her first marriage in 1992 to former baseball player David Justice, ended in divorce in 1996. Justice played with the Atlanta Braves and experienced a measure of fame as the team rose to prominence in the early 1990s. The couple found it difficult to maintain their relationship while he was playing baseball and she was filming elsewhere. Berry has stated publicly that she was so disappointed after her breakup with Justice that she considered taking her own life. But she could not bear the thought of her mother finding her body.

Berry's second marriage was to musician Eric Benét. They met in 1997 and married in early 2001 on a beach in Santa Barbara. Berry credited Benét with support after she was involved in a February 2000 car accident. She suffered a concussion and left the scene of the accident before the police arrived, resulting in a misdemeanor charge. The incident became fodder for comedians. Berry stated she felt "really good about the resolution"; she pled no contest, paid a fine and was placed on three years' probation.

The couple, however, separated in 2003. After the separation, Berry stated, "I want love, and I will find it, hopefully". While married to Benét, Berry adopted his daughter, India. The divorce was finalized in January 2005. She was not entertaining thoughts of suicide as she had after splitting with Justice: "I would never, ever, ever think of doing that again."

In November 2005, Berry began dating French-Canadian supermodel Gabriel Aubry, ten years her junior. The couple met at a Versace photoshoot. After six months with Aubry, she stated in an interview, "I'm really happy in my personal life, which is a novelty to me. You know, I'm not the girl that has the best relationships".

Berry revealed on Extra that she plans to adopt children. "I will adopt if it doesn't happen for me naturally", she said. "I will definitely adopt. And I probably will adopt even if it does happen naturally". Later she stated, "I never want to be married again. I guess you could say I have bad taste in men. But I no longer feel the need to be someone's wife. I don't feel like I need to be validated by being in a marriage". Berry insists the couple's life is already complete without the need for a marriage and feels "more married than ever before."

Berry said that it was her experience playing a mother in "Things We Lost In The Fire" that opened her mind to the possibility of motherhood. After initially denying rumors, she confirmed in September 2007 that she was three months pregnant. Berry hired security guards after receiving racist threats to her unborn baby from a stalker saying her child will be "cut into hundreds of pieces." She stated "Gabriel is a wonderful person and I am just happy I’ve found someone really special to have a baby with." She has stated that she hopes to have a second child right away.

At age 41, Berry gave birth to a girl named Nahla Ariela Aubry on March 16, 2008 at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles. The baby's given names are pronounced GNAW-lah ARE-ee-EL-uh. Nahla means "honeybee" in Arabic; Ariela is Hebrew for "lion for God". Berry spent $60,000 furnishing three nurseries for her baby.
