Halle Berry took on critics who’ve got plenty to say about her romantic history.
During Monday’s episode of The Drew Barrymore Show, the Oscar winner covered several topics and made time to directly address haters who question her ability to maintain a relationship.
“I’ve heard people say, ‘Something must be wrong with Halle Berry. She can’t keep a man.’ Who’s to say I wanna keep a man?” Berry told Barrymore when the subject came up. “I don’t wanna keep the wrong man. Like, I’m not crazy, right?”
She added, “So when you find that you make a mistake—we all make mistakes. We have a right to say, ‘Oh God, this was a mistake. Let me start again.’ We have a right to do that.”
Beyond talking about her dating history on The Drew Barrymore Show this week, Berry discussed her new Menopause platform, Respin, “a community for and by women in support of their health and wellness.” The 58-year-old also revealed how her doctor wrongly diagnosed her perimenopause symptoms as a “really bad case of herpes.”
Berry’s past husbands include former MLB player David Justice, and R&B singer-songwriter Eric Benét. According to People, she had daughter Nahla Ariela Aubry with ex-partner Gabriel Aubry in March 2008 and a son, Maceo-Robert Martine, in 2013 with ex Olivier Martinez, whom she married that year before splitting in 2016.
In a chat on Today with Jenna & Friends earlier this month, Berry claimed she was able to “manifest” her current boyfriend Van Hunt, who she’s been seeing since 2020.
“Having gone through three divorces, I finally knew what wasn’t working, and I realized I was always saying to the universe what I didn’t want — what I didn’t want,” she told hosts Jenna Bush Hager and Justin Sylvester.
“So guess what I did? I manifested what I didn’t want,” she continued. “So, I really had to change my thinking, and instead of thinking of what I didn’t want, I had to get intentional with what I did want.”
