Halle Berry confirmed she’s engaged to Van Hunt after dating for nearly six years.
The “Catwoman” actress revealed the news during Thursday’s episode of “The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon.”
Clarifying the reports that she allegedly said no to her boyfriend when he initially proposed, she said, “There’s some confusion that he asked me to marry him and I said no, but that’s not the case!”
“I did not say no, we just don’t have a date but of course I said yes, I will marry him!”
The actress, 59, then giddily showed off her massive engagement ring.
Back in June 2025, Hunt revealed he had proposed to Berry, but her answer was “on hold.”
“So I put out the proposal, and it’s still on hold, as you can see,” the musician, 55, told the outlet.
“It’s just out there floating. You know, maybe you can encourage her.”
Berry went on to explain that she was hesitant about getting married because she had already tied the knot three times before.
The Oscar winner was married to retired MLB player David Justice from 1993 to 1997. She was then married to Eric Benét from 2001 to 2005, followed by French actor Olivier Martinez from 2013 to 2016.
Berry also explained to the outlet why she was putting off tying the knot again, saying, “We don’t feel like we have to get married to validate our love in any way. We don’t.”
However, the “Monster’s Ball” star said she is not shutting down the idea altogether.
“I think we will get married just because, out of the people I’ve been married to, this is the person I should have married,” she said.
“And I feel like I should, we should get married, but it’s not because we feel like we have to. I think it’s something that we would like to do just because we want that expression.”
Berry and Hunt have been dating for five years, with the former confirming the romance with a post on social media in September 2020.
