Last night, Halle Berry made a guest appearance on The Tonight Show, where she joyfully announced her engagement to Van Hunt, her partner of six years. The news was met with a mix of responses, highlighting the excitement and unpredictability that often surrounds celebrity moments.
During her conversation with host Jimmy Fallon, Halle expressed her affection for Van, only to be interrupted by a boo from an audience member. Laughing off the negativity, Halle responded playfully, declaring, “Noooooo!” to the booing, while Fallon encouraged the audience to embrace the positivity, saying, “Don’t be jealous!”
Addressing some past confusion about their relationship status, which arose from a June 2025 interview where it was suggested Van had proposed but she had declined, Halle clarified, “There’s some confusion that he asked to marry me, and I said ‘No.’” This prompted another interruption from the audience, but both Halle and Jimmy firmly insisted, “No!” as they shared a lighthearted exchange about the misunderstanding.
Halle went on to emphasize their commitment, remarking, “That’s not the case. I did not say no. We just don’t have a date. But of course I said yes, I would marry him,” prompting cheers from the audience. The moment underscored the joy in her announcement, showcasing the support from fans celebrating her engagement.
As Halle celebrates this new chapter in her life, the incident serves as a reminder of the intense scrutiny celebrities often face and the challenges of public and private life intertwining. Congratulations are certainly in order for Halle and Van as they embark on their journey toward marriage!
