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.”

Fans chimed in on the conversation, with some agreeing with Berry’s sentiments.

One person said, “So damn true! I swear sis…it took me til but I’m here! PERIODT♥️♥️,” and another added, “Took me till I was 53 Halle. And he was worth the wait after years and years of heartache too ❤️.”

Other people showed gratitude for Berry sharing her words as they are still in search of their special person.

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.

Independent journalism still matters.

We hope this story was worth your time. For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed Black-owned and independently run. We didn't get here by waiting on ad budgets that were never built to prioritize us. Our readers did that.

Corporate support for Black media has always been thin. Outlets like ours get roughly 1% of the $170 billion spent on U.S. advertising each year, and that margin is shrinking further as advertisers walk back the DEI-linked commitments they made in 2020. That's the backdrop. It's not why we're asking.

The wider picture isn't any steadier. 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, it's rarely the ones built to center a Black perspective from the ground up 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.
