Halle Berry parents
Judith Ann Hawkins (mother)
Judith is a Caucasian woman who married a man from African-American roots. She met Berry in the hospital as they were both health care workers. After the divorce, Jerome left and Hawkins moved with her two daughters to a predominantly white suburb. This one action played a big impact in her daughter’s success today. Being one of the few blacks in an all-white neighbourhood pushed her to excel. Throughout high school, the determined teen held top positions in a dizzying array of extracurricular activities.
Berry and her mother share a really precious bond most especially because the beauty queen claims to have seen her being physically abused by her dad Jerome. Judith Hawkins is a retired psychiatric nurse.

The Berry dad was first in a relationship with Edwin Taylor before he started with Judith Ann after shortly after his break up. He had a daughter with Taylor before moving on to marry Hawkins. Just four years after his second child, Halle was born, Jerome and his wife Judith split. The most famous Berry grew up angry and she even allegedly accused her dad of being a violent alcoholic who used to beat her mum in the presence of her and her sister Heidi.
Months turned into years and the Oscar winning Berry still did not have a rethink about letting her father back into her life. When he was dying of Parkinson’s and his first daughter Renee made a plea on his behalf, Halle blatantly refused and never saw him. Jerome worked first as an Air Force veteran, a bus driver then a hospital attendant while he was alive. He died on January 24, 2003 at a nursing home.

Halle Berry siblings
Renee Berry (half-sister from Jerome Berry)
Year of Birth: 1959
Renee is Berry’s eldest sister who has been estranged for years. She is a food service worker from Alabama and is unashamedly desperate to reconnect back with her famous sister. Renee and her younger half-sister do not see eye to eye on certain things including who their father really was. While the Monster’s Ball (2001) actress rants about how much of an abusive tyrant their father was, Renee sticks with the school of thought that he never abused any of them and was just a slight disciplinarian.
One of the reasons why Renee really wants to get close to her sister is to be there for her seeing how times must be hard with her facing a child custody case. The first Berry daughter is really particular about wanting to be there for her superstar sister both emotionally and physically. She honestly wants to know what they did that warranted the harsh estrangement.
