Halle Berry Clarifies Her Engagement Status Amid Rumors She Turned Down Van Hunt's Proposal

Halle Berry is clearing up rumors about her engagement to longtime boyfriendVan Hunt—and it turns out that congratulations are in order!

The couple, who have been together for over five years, were initially reported to have gotten engaged in 2025. But since then, rumors have swirled that Berry didn’t actually say yes when Hunt popped the question and the couple have given conflicting statements about the situation.

Back in June 2025, Hunt revealed that he had, in fact, proposed but things were “on hold” as he waited for Berry’s official answer.

“I put out the proposal, and it’s still on hold as you can see,” he shared during a joint interview with Berry for Today with Jenna & Friends. “It’s just out there floating. You know, maybe you can encourage her.”

Then, in an interview with The Cut published this past Monday (Feb. 2), Berry shared that she still had yet to accept Hunt’s proposal.

“I haven’t said ‘yes,’” Berry shared with the outlet. “I don’t think we need to be married to have a meaningful relationship. I don’t know if we will ever get married.”

But now, Berry is finally putting the rumors to rest. During an appearance on The Tonight Show on Thursday (Feb. 5), Berry shared that she had indeed said yes to the engagement—she just hadn’t said yes to a wedding yet.

“There’s some confusion that’s going around my guy Van Hunt —I’ve been dating him now for almost six years,” Berry said. “There’s some confusion that he asked to marry me and I said no. But that’s not the case!”

She continued, “I did not say no! We just don’t have a date. But of course I said I would marry him! He did put a little ring on it!”

Berry and Hunt have been linked since 2020 after being introduced by Hunt’s brother. While it’s unclear when they’ll walk down the aisle, we’re sending congratulations to the happy couple!
