Halle Berry admits she “can’t get past” the three-year mark in her relationship

Halle Berry talked about how long her relationships last.

The Catwoman the actor appeared on Dax Shepard’s Armchair expert podcast on Monday, October 7, in which she talked about her past relationships and what makes her current romance with singer Van Hunt stand out.

“It’s the longest relationship I’ve ever been in,” Berry said of her relationship with Hunt. “I can’t last more than three years. We celebrated four years as if we had been married for 20 years. It was a great experience for me personally.

Berry, 58, and Hunt, 54, have been dating since 2020. However, she admitted they both got “scared” after passing the three-year milestone because they suspected a breakup was on the horizon.

“We were both afraid,” he added Union said the star. “He was waiting for the shoe to drop and I was waiting for the f***ing shoe to drop. Because I just can’t get over it. I felt a huge sense of relief and thought, “OK, yes, I can pursue this relationship.”

The Oscar winner continued to gush over her boyfriend, whom she described as her “person.”

“(It is) calm and it is what I dreamed of, what I was looking for, what I needed,” she added.

Berry explained that her relationships usually end after three years because they were always wrong from the start, although she didn’t realize this until she reached the milestone.

“There was something wildly familiar about it, but I realized that I got involved in these things for all the wrong reasons, and after about three years it always became clear to me what the wrong reasons were,” she told Shepard. “But because I came into this thing with Van in a different way, that feeling never came because I didn’t get into it for the wrong reasons.”

Another difference was that she always tried to be the one who “made it happen” with her previous partners, but it was Hunt who “showed up.”

“I thought, ‘I couldn’t do that.’ I didn’t want it. “I was supposed to live alone, stay single forever, just raise my kids, do my job, and then he came when I wasn’t trying to manipulate it, I wasn’t trying to make it happen,” she explained. “He just showed up. He was chosen for me.”

Berry is a mother of two children. She has a 16-year-old daughter, Nahla, with ex-husband Gabriel Aubry, and an 11-year-old son, Maceo, with ex-husband Olivier Martinez. In August 2023, Berry and Martinez officially reached a child support agreement, almost eight years after announcing their divorce.

In addition to sharing joint legal and physical custody of the child, Berry also agreed to pay her former ex child support of $8,000 per month and an additional 4.3 percent of her income over $2 million. According to court documents obtained by USA todayBerry will also pay for her son’s private school tuition, extracurricular activities, therapist and health insurance.

However, a year later, the actor accused Martinez of delaying agreed co-parenting therapy sessions in favor of a vacation in France. According to court documents filed in Los Angeles and obtained byNew York Post OfficeBerry stated that her ex-husband “has actually unilaterally decided to take the ‘summer off’,” noting that therapy sessions are taking place over Zoom.

“For him, the terms of the injunctions agreed upon by the parties are simply suggestions to be followed when it is to his advantage, and which he ignores when they do not fit his agenda of alienation,” the document says.

Martinez denied Berry’s allegations and claimed she filed the application when she “knew” Berry would be traveling. In a statement to InTouchhis team said Berry “constantly attempts to harass and pressure (Martinez) into ‘giving up’ by using her assets and the attorneys at her disposal.”
