Halle Berry and Van Hunt's Relationship Timeline

Halle Berry found something special with Van Hunt and has enjoyed showing off her relationship to her fans.

Berry was previously married three times: to David Justice from 1993 to 1997, to Eric Benét from 2001 to 2005 and to Olivier Martinez from 2013 to 2016. She shares son Maceo (born in 2013) with Martinez and daughter Nahla (born in 2008) with ex Gabriel Aubry.

Berry confirmed her relationship with Hunt in September 2020, shortly before a source exclusively told Us Weekly that Hunt was "a wonderful, caring" partner to the actress. While the pair had only been dating for a few months by then, the insider noted that Berry already saw the musician as The One.

Berry and Hunt made their red carpet debut one year later at the 2021 Academy Awards. 

“Van is head over heels for Halle,” a second source told Us in April 2021. “It’s adorable to see how much he is infatuated with her.”

"My son, Maceo, of his own volition did this little commitment ceremony for us in the back seat of the car," Berry told AARP the Magazine in January 2022, referring to her son with ex-husband Olivier Martinez. "I think he finally sees me happy, and it's infectious. It was his way of saying, 'This is good. I like this. This makes me happy.'"

She added: "It was a very real moment for all of us. I teared up, Van was fighting back tears. Even Maceo knew he’d said something poignant. It meant a lot to us. I have two children with two different fathers. Van has a son. As a mom living this modern, blended family, all I care about is that my kids are OK with the decisions I’m making.
