Halle Berry is a well-established actress and one of Hollywood’s most enduring stars. Over her decades-long career, she has received numerous accolades, including an Oscar for Best Actress for her role in “Monster’s Ball” (2001). Berry’s versatility and talent have kept her at the forefront of the entertainment industry, with a filmography that spans various genres, from action-packed thrillers to dramas.
Berry is making a return to the screen with a leading role in Netflix’s upcoming film, “The Union,” where she stars alongside Mark Wahlberg. The movie follows Mike, a peaceful construction worker with a quiet, routine life, whose world is turned upside down when Roxanne, his high school sweetheart played by Berry, recruits him for a high-stakes U.S. intelligence mission.
As Berry continues to shine in her career, her personal life has also garnered attention, particularly her relationship with musician Van Hunt. Fans are curious about her love life, and Berry has been dating Hunt since August 2020. Here’s what you need to know about the man who has captured her heart.
