"Being a mother is my greatest role," Berry has frequently stated in interviews. "Everything else comes second to raising my children to be good, kind human beings."
The milestone comes as Berry continues to navigate the complexities of raising teenagers while maintaining her status as one of Hollywood's most bankable stars. Her honest portrayal of the emotional challenges of parenting has earned her praise from fans and fellow parents alike.
