Halle Berry has confirmed she is engaged to musician Van Hunt, proudly revealing a striking diamond ring and calling him the love of her life. The Oscar-winning actress, 59, shared the news during an appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, where she addressed recent speculation about their relationship status.
Berry, relaxed and smiling, cleared up what she described as public confusion over whether she had turned down a proposal. Speaking to Fallon, she explained that reports suggesting she had rejected Hunt were inaccurate. She emphasized that she never said no and that the couple simply has not set a wedding date yet.
She then confirmed that she had happily accepted Hunt’s proposal, telling the host that of course she agreed to marry him. At that point, Berry lifted her hand to the camera, revealing an eye-catching engagement ring. The piece features a prominent square-shaped diamond set on a sleek gold band, catching the studio lights as she moved.
The engagement marks a new chapter in Berry’s personal life, one she has described in past interviews as more grounded and emotionally secure. She and Hunt, a Grammy-winning musician and producer, began dating in 2020. The pair went public with their romance on social media, often sharing glimpses of their life together and openly praising each other’s influence and support.
Berry has spoken about how Hunt has changed her outlook on love, suggesting that their relationship arrived at a time when she felt more self-aware and ready for a healthier partnership. Friends and fans have frequently commented on how content and settled she appears with him.
This will be Berry’s fourth marriage. She was previously married to baseball star David Justice, singer Eric Benét, and French actor and director Olivier Martinez. Berry shares a son, Maceo Robert Martinez, with Martinez, and a daughter, Nahla Ariela Aubry, with former partner and model Gabriel Aubry. She has often discussed the challenges of co-parenting while maintaining a demanding career in Hollywood.
With her engagement to Hunt, Berry appears focused on a future defined by stability, mutual respect, and a partnership she has repeatedly described as deeply fulfilling. The actress, who has long been a trailblazer in the industry, now seems equally determined to write a happier, more peaceful chapter in her personal life.
