Halle Berry's emotional surprise for 5th grade teacher she calls her 'second mom'
Tears were flowing as Halle surprised her longtime mentor with a stunning renovation of her 1920s home.
Tears flow as Halle Berry surprises her 5th grade teacher and 'second mom'
On Celebrity IOU Monday, Academy award-winning actress Halle Berry teamed up with the Property Brothers, Drew and Jonathan Scott, to surprise the woman whom she calls her "second mother" with a renovation of her 1920s home. Berry's fifth grade teacher, Yvonne Sims, became a mentor to her and, ultimately, one of the most important people in her life. "My mom was a single mom and so she worked a lot," explained Berry. "So my sister and I were very much latchkey kids. She sort of took me in under her wing. I have a white mother and she, being a Black woman, taught me about my culture." Halle shared that she went to a predominantly white school, so having Sims, who was one of only two Black teachers at the time, was a gift that changed her life. "I think she saw the need in me. She saw that I needed to be mentored and she stepped in," said Berry. Sims shared, "Halle was eager to learn more about herself, being of mixed heritage." "She would take me to art museums, teach me about Black history, about my heritage, because it wasn't really taught in schools. She just picked me up, you know, and quickly became more than a mentor, almost like another mother," shared Berry. Since Berry has always seen Sims as a gift, she was thrilled to be able to give her a big gift in return and even began to cry as she told Sims, "There's nobody who's been more selfless and helped so many people, not just me, hundreds of kids, and nobody deserves this more." And the emotions didn't stop there as, later in the show, following the reveal of Sims's new stunning home, the two began to share even more tears.

'Property Brothers' stars Drew and Jonathan Scott on Brad Pitt's 'Celebrity IOU' appearance: 'A true gentleman through and through'
In their new HGTV series "Celebrity IOU," Drew and Jonathan Scott get hands on with some of Hollywood’s biggest A-listers.
Brad Pitt is a ‘true gentleman through and through’ according to 'The Property Brothers'
In their new HGTV series Celebrity IOU, Drew and Jonathan Scott get hands on with some of Hollywood’s biggest A-listers. While they shared a lot of laughs — “We almost couldn’t film because we were all laughing so hard,” Jonathan says about Melissa McCarthy — they also shared a lot of heart. “Michael Bublé says he's not a handy guy,” Drew tells Yahoo Entertainment. “But because this is giving back to his grandpa's nurse, the woman who took care of his grandpa for the last six years of his life, he wanted to make sure that he was all hands on transforming this house for her.” Throughout the series, the brothers help stars from Viola Davis to Rebel Wilson give back to people who have had a deep impact on their lives by surprising them with big home renovations. “All the stories are ... truly amazing and touching. When you watch Celebrity IOU, you will cry guaranteed,” says Drew. The first episode, which premieres tonight on HGTV, features Brad Pitt, who surprises his friend and makeup artist by making over her garage. What was Pitt like behind-the-scenes? “The very first day, Brad met every single person and had a moment with every single person,” Jonathan reveals. “And at the very end … he remembered every single person's name on the crew, the construction crew, the production crew … he was a true gentleman through and through.” Besides dishing on the celebrity gossip with Yahoo Entertainment, the brothers also shared tips on creative ways to manage life at home amidst the coronavirus pandemic. “There are lots of little things that you can do around the house just by getting creative thinking outside the box,” Drew says. One way Drew is getting creative is by going camping … right at home. “Growing up … we used to go camping all the time,” Drew says. “So we thought … a cool thing to do is transform one of your spaces into a campground.” Just grab your favorite pillows and blankets and bring the adventure right into your living room. Another creative idea they have is to repurpose old frames into new ones. It’s easy, according to Drew. “Paint it, sand it down, assemble it.” The brothers also note that having multiple surfaces for writing and hanging things is important, especially for parents juggling their kids’ school work. “If you just have an old cardboard box or something that you're able to cut out, you could actually stick them on the back of a piece of art that you have and turn that into a calendar,” Drew explains. “Or you can turn that into somewhere that you can peg some of the kids' artwork or tasks.” What are the brothers up to when they’re not brainstorming at-home DIY projects? Like many, they’re having virtual game nights along with Zooey Deschanel, Jonathan’s girlfriend, and Linda Phan, Drew’s wife. According to Jonathan, the winner always tends to be Drew. “I feel like Drew cheats,” Jonathan jokes. “I’m just going to say, why does he always win?”
