Halle Berry Shuts Down Rumors, Confirms Engagement to Van Hunt

Halle Berry just cleared up a relationship mystery — and fans are celebrating. After months of mixed messages about whether she accepted her boyfriend Van Hunt’s proposal, the Oscar-winning star confirmed she did say yes to engagement during a recent appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon.

Berry, 59, showed off her engagement ring — joking “He did put a little ring on it” — and stressed that there’s no wedding date yet even though she accepted the proposal. The revelation puts to rest swirling speculation that the actress might have turned him down months ago.

The couple’s story is one Hollywood has watched evolve. Berry and Hunt, 55, first connected in 2020 during the COVID pandemic after his brother introduced them, and they bonded over long phone calls before ever meeting in person. They’ve been inseparable ever since.

Confusion about their status kicked up after Berry gave interviews suggesting she didn’t feel the need for marriage to validate their love, even after Hunt revealed he had proposed. But on Fallon, she set the record straight: she did say yes — they just haven’t set a date yet.

This will be Berry’s fourth marriage after previous unions with David Justice, Eric Benét, and Olivier Martinez. She’s a proud mom to two kids from past relationships and has often spoken about how her romantic priorities have evolved with age.

Fans and celeb watchers quickly flooded social platforms with congratulations, calling this one of Berry’s most joyful moments publicly in years — a major win for a relationship that’s quietly blossomed into something serious over almost six years.
