Oscar-winning actor Halle Berry has confirmed that she and singer-songwriter Van Hunt are engaged, ending months of speculation about their relationship status. While the couple plans to get married, Berry said they have not yet decided on a wedding timeline.
During a recent appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, Berry addressed confusion surrounding reports that she had once turned down Hunt’s proposal. Setting the record straight, she explained that she never refused — they simply haven’t locked in a date. Berry added that she had gladly accepted his proposal.
Host Jimmy Fallon congratulated the couple, praising their relationship, as Berry proudly displayed her engagement ring on the show. The moment sparked lighthearted banter about the ring’s sparkle and size.
The announcement follows earlier comments from Van Hunt, who had revealed in mid-2025 that he had proposed but felt Berry was cautious due to her past experiences with marriage.
Berry, who has been married three times previously, has spoken openly about how her relationship with Hunt feels different from her earlier ones. She has said this partnership feels more aligned with what she truly wants, emphasizing that any decision to marry comes from desire rather than pressure.
Berry was previously married to baseball player David Justice, musician Eric Benét, and actor Olivier Martinez. Van Hunt has also been married before and later divorced.
The couple first connected in 2020 and built their bond while communicating virtually during the COVID-19 pandemic. Berry later confirmed their relationship publicly on social media, and the pair made their first major red carpet appearance together at the Academy Awards in 2021.
