Listen, if you’ve been keeping up with Halle Berry and Van Hunt’s romance, you know this couple has been heating up the relationship headlines for a while now. Well, buckle up because it seems like their love story might be taking a major turn. “I’ve heard an engagement is imminent,” an insider exclusively tells Closer. “Van has been hitting the jewelry stores and planning to pop the question any day now.”

Van Hunt: The Man Who’s Changed Halle’s Perspective on Marriage

Now, let’s rewind a little. At one point, Halle was pretty vocal about swearing off marriage altogether. But then Van came into her life, and things changed. “Van has made her believe in love again, and she’s done a complete U-turn,” a second source exclusively reveals to Closer. It’s clear that Van isn’t just another guy in Halle’s life—he’s someone who’s genuinely made her rethink her stance on commitment.

From Instagram Official to Potential Bride

The couple first made their relationship official on Instagram back in September 2020, and ever since, fans have been rooting for them. If everything goes as planned, they could be walking down the aisle sooner than we think. “It’s not a question of if Van proposes, but when,” the source continues. “With the way things are going, it’s only a matter of time before he gets down on one knee. I can see it happening this year.”

Halle’s Past Relationships

Halle’s no stranger to marriage, having tied the knot three times before. Her first marriage was to David Justice from 1993 to 1997, followed by a union with Eric Benét from 2001 to 2005. She welcomed her daughter, Nahla Aubry, with model Gabriel Aubry in 2008. Then, in 2013, she married Olivier Martinez, with whom she had her second child, son Maceo Robert Martinez. That marriage ended in 2016. Van, on the other hand, has one child named Drake from a previous relationship.

A Unique Bond That’s Only Getting Stronger

What sets Van apart from Halle’s past relationships is the genuine connection they share. “Halle says that Van is different than any other man she has been with,” the insider adds. “Their relationship is organic, he fully embraces her career, treats her like royalty, and they bring out the best in each other. She feels secure and safe with Van and calls him ‘her rock.’”

Even though Halle announced in 2017 that she was taking a break from dating, her bond with Van seems unshakable. In fact, they sparked marriage rumors on January 1 when they posted a kissing photo with the caption, “well…IT’S OFFICIAL!” Of course, the Academy Award winner later clarified things in a follow-up post, writing, “We were just having some New Year’s Day fun! People clearly don’t swipe as much as we thought they did. Thank you for the well wishes, tho’, it really touched our hearts! Now it’s OFFICIAL, the internet is no longer undefeated.”
