Halle Berry is finally engaged to Van Hunt after dating for nearly six years

'I did not say no. We just don’t have a date. But of course I said I would marry him!' the Oscar winner said

Hollywood icon Halle Berry has officially confirmed that she and Grammy-winning musician Van Hunt are engaged after dating for nearly six years.

The 59-year-old Oscar winner clarified the news during a February 5 appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, addressing months of mixed reports about whether she had accepted Hunt’s proposal. Berry showed off her engagement ring on live television and confirmed that she did say yes to Hunt, though the couple has not yet set a wedding date.

“There’s some confusion that he asked to marry me and I said no,” Berry said on the show. “No, that’s not the case. I did not say no. We just don’t have a date. But of course I said I would marry him! He did put a little ring on it.”

Berry and Hunt first made their relationship public in 2020, after meeting during the COVID-19 pandemic through Hunt’s brother. The couple has maintained a steady and supportive partnership ever since, often appearing together at red carpet events and sharing glimpses of their life as a family unit.

Over the years, Berry has described her bond with Hunt as one of the most meaningful in her life, explaining that their connection was built on deep communication and mutual respect. While she once suggested that they didn’t need marriage to validate their love, this announcement signals that they do plan to take that next step, on their own terms.

This engagement marks a new chapter in Berry’s personal life. She was previously married three times, to David Justice, Eric Benét, and Olivier Martinez, and shares two children from previous relationships.

Berry is also currently promoting her upcoming film Crime 101, set for release on February 13, 2026, further highlighting what friends and insiders describe as a fulfilling and contented period for the actress both professionally and personally.
