Key Takeaways

• Relationship Journey: Halle Berry enjoys getaways but values her relationship with Van Hunt.
• Meeting Story: The couple met through a text introduction facilitated by Hunt’s brother.
• Healing Process: Berry took time to heal after previous relationships before finding happiness with Hunt.
• Manifestation: She believes she manifested her relationship by focusing on what she wanted in a partner.

While Berry isn’t ready for a “permanent vacation,” she still enjoys a good getaway. After kicking off the birthday festivities early with a family trip to Fiji earlier this summer, the Monster’s Ball star noted on Instagram she had booked another birthday celebration: “This time just me and my man.”

As in her fiancé and partner of six years, Van Hunt.

The actress and the musician met through text in 2020 after his brother, who worked for her company Respin, played matchmaker.

“I said something like, ‘I don’t like to be set up,'” she recalled on Today in June 2025, “and he said, ‘Well, how has that worked out for you?’ And I said, ‘OK, touché.'”

Having endured divorces from baseball player David Justice, singer Eric Benét, and French actor Olivier Martinez (dad to Maceo-Robert), plus the end of her five-year relationship with model Gabriel Aubry, Nahla’s father, Berry did her share of healing before meeting Hunt.

And knowing how badly she wanted something different, she feels she manifested her relationship with him.

“Having gone through three divorces, I finally knew what wasn’t working,” the Catwoman alum explained on Today in February 2025. “And I realized I was always saying to the universe what I didn’t want.”

So, she changed her thinking to what she did want in a partner.

“I got very granular with it,” Berry continued, “and then he showed up.”
