Halle Berry is enjoying the happiest relationship of her life. The Academy Award-winning actress shared intimate details about her love life and relationship with musician Van Hunt, whom she began dating in 2020.
In an interview, Berry opened up about how she approached her relationship with Hunt differently than her previous ones, emphasizing her intentionality in making it work.
“I created my career. I was intentional about that,” she said. “But I had never been that intentional with my relationships. I was loosey-goosey with that.”
She admitted that while it “took me a minute to get it right,” she now feels that “the nature of the way this happened, I have a real belief that this is it. This is my person.”
Berry explained that she and Hunt were introduced by his brother, someone Berry had known for many years.
“You have to be clear with the universe [or] any old thing will find you,” she said.
“The minute I started to feel like I understood myself and what I had been doing wrong, Van’s brother came to me and said, ‘You should meet my brother.’”
Before things became physical, Berry and Hunt decided to take their time and form a deeper connection as friends.
“It was the first time I was madly in love before I had sex,” she revealed. “Talk about one of those life-changing, beautiful experiences. It was magical, just magical.”
Berry has had her share of high-profile relationships in the past, having been romantically linked to David Justice, Eric Benet, Olivier Martinez, and Gabriel Aubry.
She was married to Martinez, with whom she shares a son, Maceo, and dated Aubry, with whom she shares a daughter, Nahla.
Last year, Berry finalized her divorce from Martinez after an eight-year legal battle.
As part of the settlement, she agreed to pay $8,000 a month in child support, and the two share joint custody of their son Maceo.
