Halle Berry's daughter just went through a difficult moment that many moms dread.

The Catwoman actress' eldest daughter Nahla is already a teenager, 16, and recently went through her first big heartbreak.

In addition to Nahla, who she shares with ex Gabriel Aubry, the doting mom is also a mom to son Maceo, ten, who she shares with ex-husband Olivier Martínez, with whom she's still embroiled in a contentious custody dispute.

Halle, recently speaking at an event while promoting her new movie Never Let Go, told People that it's been a tough year for her daughter who "got her heart broken."

"Never gets easier," she shared, adding: "It's just holding space knowing that this is all part of growing, right? We've all been there and knowing that in six months time, she's going to forget about it."

Still, she noted: "But in this moment, it's the single most important thing to be rejected and have a breakup and she feels like she's dying."

Halle continued that in turn, "a little part of me is dying," however: "I can't tell her that because she'll just say, 'Mom, you don't understand.'"

She went on: "So I just have to say, 'Yeah, this sucks, right? This sucks balls.' I know, and you're hurt. And I know I just have to sit in it with her and that's really hard to do."

Halle has had difficult child support disputes with both exes. With Gabriel, she was initially ordered to pay him $16,000 a month, which was later slashed to $8,000, though she also has to pay a percentage of her annual earnings.

Similarly with Olivier, she has to pay him $8,000 a month in child support and an additional 4.3 percent of all income she receives above $2 million.
