Halle Berry Says It’s Not Too Late to Find Love, Even at 54: ‘No Matter How Many Times You Try, It’s Always Worth It’

Halle Berry has been dating her R&B singer beau Van Hunt for some months now, and it looks like Berry might be in love. On Valentine’s Day she uploaded a series of five intimate photos of her and her man while reminding fans to not be discouraged if they happen not to have found the one yet.

The five shots show Berry and Hunt rocking matching black pajamas with colorful hearts on them as they are sharing kisses and a few smiles. In her caption she wrote: “To all the Valentines who may be struggling to get it right…I feel you, but never give up and NEVER SETTLE for less than what makes your heart sing! No matter what they say or what they call you. No matter how many times you try, it’s always worth it. If you desire love, you will find your match, your equal ….your person…even if it takes you until you’re 54!
Happy Valentine’s Day 🤎 #vdayphotodump.”

“Thank you for your motivation words. I am 51 and still not giving up. Happy for you to find your real and big love.❤️🙌😍,” wrote one person, and someone else simply put, “I needed to hear these words… thank you sister.”

On Feb. 13, the Academy Award-winning actress uploaded a short clip of herself dancing topless with her arm around her Grammy award-winning boyfriend, while his song “Being A Girl” played in the background.

Berry has previously been married to former Major League Baseball player David Justice, R&B singer Eric Benét, and French actor Olivier Martinez. Hunt has not been married, but he does have a teenage son. Berry has a 12-year-old daughter and 7-year-old son from two of her previous relationships.

Democracy needs journalism it can trust.

This election season, the stakes are higher than usual — and so is the pressure on newsrooms to soften their coverage, stay quiet, or just disappear. Independent reporting, the kind that answers to readers instead of advertisers or political pressure, matters more in a moment like this, not less.

For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed independent and reader-funded. We have no corporate owner and no shareholders telling us what to cover or how to cover it. That independence is also our biggest vulnerability: nothing protects it except readers choosing to fund it directly.

Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under in a moment like this, it's rarely the independent, reader-funded ones that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
