Did Halle Berry Get Married Again?
Superstar Halle Berry has been stealing hearts since she first graced the silver screen. It's no surprise that Catwoman has been lapping up juicy roles like Storm in the "X-Men" franchise or her award-winning Leticia Musgrove from "Monster's Ball" Berry is a performance dynamo. She is still the only Black woman to have won the Best Actress Oscar in the history of the award, which she calls "one of my biggest heartbreaks," per Variety, as it was a door she opened that no one else has been able to walk through since.
As far as heartbreaks go, Berry wants to protect herself from the fallout that can come from a failed marriage. Following her third divorce in 2016, she warned the audience at the 2017 City Summit and Gala against going into marriage thinking it will be a forever fairytale while they're whisked away by a prince. "But we go in there with that hope, so when it falls apart it feels like a huge failure and a huge disappointment," she said, per Entertainment Tonight. "I've suffered a lot of pain and anguish."
In 2004, with two divorces under her belt, she told The Guardian, "I'll never get married again" — though she did, to Olivier Martinez, from 2013-2016. So now fans are clamoring for the truth after Berry hinted that she just got married for a fourth time. Did she really tie the knot again?
Halle Berry and boyfriend Van Hunt tricked everyone on Instagram
When Halle Berry decided to ring in the new year with a dreamy Instagram photo of herself nuzzling her boyfriend Van Hunt in what appeared to be a tropical wedding chapel, folks were bound to get suspicious. She even captioned the photo "well...IT'S OFFICIAL" to tease her followers. Celebrities like Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson, Octavia Spencer, Ava DuVernay, and Taraji P. Henson even sent their congratulations. But if those followers swiped into the next photo in the carousel, they may have realized that Berry was pranking them all.
She followed up later on Instagram with a post explaining that she thought followers would swipe to the next slide — a selfie of her and Hunt with the caption, "IT'S 2022!" — and realize she was talking about the new year. "We were just having some New Year's Day fun! People clearly don't swipe as much as we thought they did," she wrote, including the laughing-crying emoji. "thank you for the well wishes, tho, it really touched our hearts! Now it's OFFICIAL, the internet is no longer undefeated."
Although Berry isn't actually married again, she did gush over her musician boyfriend while accepting her Career Achievement Award at the 4th Annual Celebration of Black Cinema & Television in December, per People: "You know I finally found love this year everybody. ... I found the love of my life and I know it's true."
