Halle Berry says she’s having the ‘best sex of her life’ at 59 with fiancé Van Hunt as she opens up on their relationship

Halle Berry lifted the lid on her ‘amazing’ sex life with her fiancé, Van Hunt, on Tuesday.

The 59-year-old actress recently discussed her relationship with her fiancé, a 55-year-old musician, on the podcast ‘Sex With Emily.’ She and her partner announced their engagement earlier this month.

In a recent, honest talk, the Academy Award-winning actress shared her thoughts on finding love and enjoying a fulfilling sex life after 50. She explained that becoming comfortable and complete as an individual was key to finally finding the relationship she’d always dreamed of.

On the podcast, she explained that after being divorced three times, she’d almost given up on relationships. She said that after experiencing that kind of heartbreak several times, you start to wonder if a long-term partnership is simply not meant for you.

She explained that she’d reached a point where she wanted to focus on her career and family, and felt confident she could succeed at both.

I realized that once I became successful and stopped striving for more, I understood that the pursuit itself was actually what led me to make poor decisions.

I used to chase after something I believed would make me whole, like a lot of people do. But when I finally let go and decided to focus on my own happiness, health, and future, that thing just didn’t seem as important anymore.

It was then that I met the right person, and I understood it was because I’d finally become fully myself. I was radiating a new energy, and that’s what drew them to me – I finally attracted someone who matched who I truly am.

I eventually became the person I always wanted to be. Before that, I wasn’t dealing with ‘bad’ people, but rather attracting partners who mirrored my own unhealed parts. I wasn’t complete or healthy myself, so I was drawing in others who weren’t either.

After spending four years focusing on myself and healing – without being in a relationship – he entered the picture, and things quickly became physical.

She explained that taking time for herself had been beneficial, saying, ‘I’ve found someone I have incredible chemistry with, and at 54, I realize those four years I took for myself really helped me get to this point.’

Halle shared that she and her fiancé first connected during the COVID-19 pandemic. Since they lived in different cities, they spent hours talking on the phone before finally meeting in person.

Because of their previous interactions, they developed a close connection and felt an immediate bond when they finally met. She felt like she’d known him for a long time.

We first connected at the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, and we spent hours just talking – really getting to know each other by asking all sorts of questions.

He’d also spent two years focusing on himself and becoming independent, so we really connected. We talked about everything – through conversations, letters, and texts – and felt comfortable sharing anything and everything.

We shared everything with each other, the good and the bad, without holding back. It felt like neither of us worried about the consequences, since we lived so far apart – me in Los Angeles and you in Atlanta. We figured even if things didn’t work out and we stopped talking, it wouldn’t really matter.

Despite the distance, we got to know each other really well. So, when we finally met in person about six months later – he came to Los Angeles – we immediately had sex.

I hadn’t been intimate with anyone before, but I ended up having sex on the first day I met a man. We’d actually already built a strong connection, having spent weeks talking for hours each day about everything imaginable.

‘We had to have sex, because there was no more questions to ask.’ 

She described feeling instantly safe with him when they first met, and shared that their first sexual experience was special because she was in love with him – something she hadn’t experienced before.

‘So I just thought, wow, this is the most amazing experience of my life.’ 

Halle recently confirmed she’s engaged to Van, following months of rumors. This interview is happening shortly after the announcement.

During an appearance on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon, she clarified a misunderstanding about a proposal. She explained that reports of her turning down a marriage proposal weren’t true, and that they simply haven’t set a wedding date yet.

The mother-of-two added, ‘But of course I said I would marry him! He did put a little ring on it.’

Van and she were introduced by his brother in April 2020, right when the COVID-19 pandemic was at its peak. They spent the next four months getting to know each other through texts and phone calls before finally meeting in person for their first date.
