💍 Van Hunt Popped The Question—And It’s Still “Floating”
The ring is in Halle Berry‘s court! During a joint appearance on “Today with Jenna & Friends,” Van Hunt revealed that he proposed to the Oscar-winning actress—but she hasn’t given him a solid “yes” just yet.
“I put out the proposal, and it’s still on hold as you can see,” the 54-year-old Grammy winner told Today.com.
“It’s just out there floating. You know, maybe you can encourage her.”
So what’s keeping Berry from locking it down? The Never Let Go star got real about their hesitation, pointing to both of their past marriages as reasons for pumping the brakes.
“Well, I’ve been married three times. Van has been married once, and so no, we don’t feel like we have to get married to validate our love in any way,” she explained. “We don’t.”
💞 Why Van Hunt Feels Different From Halle Berry’s Past Marriages
Halle, 58, has been candid about her rocky relationship history.
She was previously married to Olivier Martinez, David Justice, and Eric Benét.
But when it comes to Van, she says this time feels right—just on her own terms.
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.
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.
And when will that be?
“Soon,” Halle teased.
❤️ A Love Story Years In The Making
Halle and Van made their relationship public in September 2020, but their romance had been quietly blossoming for months before that.
According to PEOPLE, Van had already met Halle’s children—Nahla, now 17, and Maceo, 11—by the time the couple went Instagram official.
The two first connected thanks to Van’s brother.
“Van’s brother, who I had known for many years, came to me and said, ‘You should meet my brother,’” Halle Berry recalled.
And once they met? It was magic.
In a 2023 Marie Claire cover story, Halle revealed, “It was the first time I was madly in love before I had sex. That has never happened to me, ever… It was magical, just magical.”
🌟 Why Halle Berry Feels “Fulfilled” With Van
In a 2021 Women’s Health interview, Halle described her life with Van as “fulfilled”—not just romantically, but emotionally and creatively.
I wish I had met him sooner so I could have loved him longer.
I’m a much better mother in this circumstance than I would have been had I stayed in a romantic relationship that didn’t serve me.
It’s clear their bond goes beyond just love and romance.
The couple consistently shows each other appreciation on social media—from celebrating anniversaries to casual moments of joy.
“Happy anniversary VanO,” Berry captioned a champagne toast in 2022. Hunt reposted it with hearts and cheers emojis.
