Halle Berry has announced her engagement to Van Hunt, marking nearly six years of their relationship.
The “Catwoman” star shared the exciting news on Thursday’s episode of “The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon.”
Addressing rumors that she initially turned down Hunt’s proposal, Berry clarified, “There’s been some mix-up suggesting that he proposed and I said no, but that’s simply not true!”
“I didn’t reject him; we just haven’t set a date yet. But of course, I said yes, I will marry him!”
The 59-year-old actress then enthusiastically displayed her stunning engagement ring.
Back in June 2025, Hunt revealed he had proposed to Berry, but her answer was “on hold.”
“So I put out the proposal, and it’s still on hold, as you can see,” the musician, 55, told the outlet.
“It’s just out there floating. You know, maybe you can encourage her.”
Berry went on to explain that she was hesitant about getting married because she had already tied the knot three times before.
The Oscar winner was married to retired MLB player David Justice from 1993 to 1997. She was then married to Eric Benét from 2001 to 2005, followed by French actor Olivier Martinez from 2013 to 2016.
Berry also explained to the outlet why she was putting off tying the knot again, saying, “We don’t feel like we have to get married to validate our love in any way. We don’t.”
However, the “Monster’s Ball” star said she is not shutting down the idea altogether.
“I think we will get married just because, out of the people I’ve been married to, this is the person I should have married,” she said.
“And I feel like I should, we should get married, but it’s not because we feel like we have to. I think it’s something that we would like to do just because we want that expression.”
Berry and Hunt have been dating for five years, with the former confirming the romance with a post on social media in September 2020.
