Halle Berry's ex-husband wishes her the best with her pregnancy

Eric Benét wishes actress 'all the happiness in the world'

Halle Berry and Eric Benet

Proving exes can be civil, words of encouragement for Halle Berry have come from an unlikely source – former husband Eric Benét.

"I wish Halle and her partner a healthy baby and all the happiness in the world," singer Benét, 40, said in a statement released to PEOPLE by his manager, Lynne Malone, Thursday.

The Oscar-winning actress, 41, announced she was three months pregnant on Tuesday. Father-to-be is boyfriend Gabriel Aubry, a 32-year-old model she met during a Versace ad shoot in Los Angeles in November 2005.

Benét and Berry wed in January 2001, but had a roller-coaster romance soured by his self-confessed philandering. The couple separated in October and six months later the split was official.
