Los Angeles, Feb 4 (IANS) Actress Halle Berry is yet to accept her partner’s proposal. The 59-year-old star has been with her man Van Hunt for almost six years, and she revealed last summer that he had already popped the question.
The actress feels that she doesn’t need to be married to have a meaningful relationship, reports ‘Female First UK’.
Now, she told ‘The Cut’, “I haven’t said ‘yes’. I don’t think we need to be married to have a meaningful relationship. I don’t know if we will ever get married”.
Halle insisted “health reasons” or being about to make vital medical decisions as each other’s legal spouse are the only exceptions to her rule.
As per ‘Female First UK’, the Oscar-winning actress has been married three times before, to David Justice, Eric Benet and Olivier Martinez, and she explained that each breakup happened for a reason.
She said, “After my third divorce, people started to say, ‘What’s wrong with her? She’s crazy. She can’t keep a man’. And I would always argue, ‘Who says I want to keep a man if he’s not the right man?’”.
Now, she’s incredibly happy with Van, adding, “I’m in the best relationship I have ever had”.
Last summer, Van insisted his proposal to Halle, who has Nahla, 18, with former boyfriend Gabriel Aubry and Maceo, 12, with Olivier, was “still on hold”.
Speaking to Today.com, Van said, “I put out the proposal, and it’s still on hold as you can see. “It’s just out there floating. You know, maybe you can encourage her”.
Halle added, “Well, I’ve been married three times. Van has been married once, and so no, we don’t feel like we have to get married to validate our love in any way. We don’t”.
At the time, she admitted she does think they will walk down the aisle one day.
