Halle Berry once donned an all-leather jumpsuit — but will she be trading it in for an all-white wedding number?
On Tuesday’s broadcast of “TODAY with Jenna & Friends,” the Oscar winner and her partner, singer-songwriter Van Hunt, joined host Jenna Bush Hager as guests — marking their first on-air interview together as a couple.
With flowers in hand, Hunt joined Berry to gush about their relationship, though he admitted to TODAY.com that he’s ready to take their love to the next level.
“So I put out the proposal, and it’s still on hold, as you can see,” Hunt told the outlet. “It’s just out there floating. You know, maybe you can encourage her.”

But Berry explained her reluctance to wed in the interview, grounded in a past where not every happily-ever-after went according to script.
“Well, I’ve been married three times,” she said. “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.”
The Oscar-winner predicted they’ll likely tie the knot eventually, but said there’s no rush. Berry said the “I do” isn’t about tradition; it’s about timing.
During her sit-down with Hager, Berry joked that her relationship with Hunt is “the longest” she’s ever been in.
“When you find your person, you find your person — and I now have found my person,” she said with a smile.
