Halle Berry has made it clear there’s one area where she draws the line on putting on a show.
When discussing intimate matters, the 59-year-old Oscar winner emphasizes that she will not fake any experiences in the bedroom with her fiancé, Van Hunt.
During her appearance on the “Sex With Emily” podcast this Tuesday, Berry shared her thoughts on authenticity, expressing her disinterest in pretending to reach orgasm just to satisfy her partner.
“We had to work together so that he felt confident in bringing us to orgasm,” Berry explained. “We used to say we achieved it just to boost his ego. But what does that accomplish? It prioritizes his needs over ours. I’ve stopped doing that.”
Berry further elaborated, saying, “I insist on my needs being as important as his. It should be a mutually satisfying experience so we can both relax afterward, not leaving one of us staring at the ceiling wondering, ‘What just happened?’”
Berry confirmed this month that she’s engaged to Van Hunt, 55, after the two have been dating for nearly six years. The “Catwoman” actress revealed the news during the Feb. 5 episode of “The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon,” clearing up some rumors that she’d rejected him initially.
“There’s some confusion that he asked me to marry him and I said no, but that’s not the case,” she noted. “I did not say no, we just don’t have a date but of course I said yes, I will marry him!”
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 noted at the time. “It’s just out there floating.”
Berry has noted that she has hesitancy about getting married due to having attempted it three times before. She 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 regarding Hunt and her relationship, saying, “We don’t feel like we have to get married to validate our love in any way. We don’t.”
However, “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 confirmed their romance with a post on social media in September 2020.
