Halle Berry Says She’s Not Rushing Marriage as Van Hunt Proposal Remains on Hold

Berry says a wedding is unnecessary to validate the relationship.

Overview

  • Berry says she practiced four years of celibacy after her 2016 divorce, a reset she credits with preparing her for meeting Van Hunt.
  • She and Hunt connected during the 2020 pandemic, speaking for months before meeting and later going public that year.
  • Hunt revealed in June 2025 that he proposed, and Berry has since confirmed she has not said yes and is comfortable keeping the engagement on hold.
  • Berry explains she largely stepped back from interviews for about a decade due to repetitive, negative narratives about her past relationships.
  • A source tells People she is very happy with life and content in the relationship, as she promotes Crime 101, which opens Feb. 13.
