Halle Berry Reveals How She Knew Van Hunt Was 'The One', Shows Off Rs 1.8 Cr Engagement Ring

Halle Berry is embracing a new chapter in her personal life, offering a glimpse into her relationship with musician Van Hunt shortly after confirming their engagement. The Oscar-winning actor shared her reflections while attending the Los Angeles premiere of her latest film, Crime 101, where her sparkling engagement ring quickly became a talking point on the red carpet.

Berry, who has navigated love and marriage in the public eye before, spoke candidly about recognising the difference between fleeting connections and something lasting. “You know, you get to be 54, you just kind of done it a few times, three, to be exact,” she said during the conversation. “You just kind of know when it’s right, ’cause you know when it’s wrong.”

The actor’s previous

marriages — to David Justice, Eric Benét and Olivier Martinez — have shaped her perspective, allowing her to approach this relationship with clarity and confidence. She confirmed her engagement after nearly six years of dating Hunt, marking a milestone that fans have followed closely since the couple made their romance public in 2020.

Ring Details And Relationship Milestone

At the premiere, Berry styled her look with a tailored black suit and silk blouse, complementing it with a gold choker necklace and the statement ring that drew attention. Jewellery experts described the piece as distinctive and personal, estimating it could exceed $200,000 (1.8 crore INR) in value. The design reportedly features a bezel-set diamond centre stone encircled by coloured diamonds and gemstones mounted on yellow gold — an approach that reflects contemporary trends favouring multi-stone settings.

Berry had already addressed speculation surrounding her relationship during a recent late-night television appearance. Clarifying rumours about her response to Hunt’s proposal, she said, “There’s some confusion that he asked to marry me and I said no.” She added, “No, that’s not the case. I did not say ‘no,’ we just don’t have a date. Of course, I said ‘yes, I would marry him.’ ”

Displaying the ring on the show, Berry remarked, “Thank you. He did put a little ring on it.” The lighthearted exchange underscored the excitement surrounding the couple’s engagement, as well as the public fascination with their journey together.

Since confirming their relationship online in September 2020, Berry and Hunt have maintained a visible yet measured presence, occasionally sharing glimpses of their life together while balancing professional commitments.
