The "X-Men" star Halle Berry welcomed son Maceo Martinez with husband Olivier Martinez in October 2013, but she isn't in any rush to start dieting. Her son brings "more love, more joy" to her life, which is all she's concerned with.

"I'm healthy and that's really good," Berry told People Magazine at the 21st annual Revlon Run/Walk for Women in Los Angeles on May 10. "When you're nursing you can't really diet because you have to keep producing milk."

She added: "Listen, I'm healthy and I'm happy and that's all that matters."

The 47-year-old doesn't have too much free time to worry about dieting. She has her 6-year-old daughter Nahla to take care of, the new baby and her TV show, "Extant," to work on.

"[A new baby means] less sleep," she said. "And I'm working on the TV show. It's a new grind, it's a new rhythm. We're trying to get used to that. We're managing."
