A history of their relationship
Berry and Martinez met on the set of the 2010 film Dark Tideand married three years later, in July 2013. They separated in October 2015 and became legally single the following year. However, their divorce was not finalized until 2023, while they worked out a custody arrangement for Maceo. Berry also has a 16-year-old daughter, Nahla, with her ex, Gabriel Aubry.
Berry, who was previously married to David Justice (1993-1997) and Eric Benét (2001-2005), began dating Van Hunt (54), in September 2020. Hunt has been a reassuring presence during Berry's custody battle.
“Van has been so supportive of Halle throughout this process with her divorce,”a source told US in August 2023, adding, “But at the same time, Halle is an incredibly intelligent woman and can handle things on her own. Of course, it’s amazing knowing Van has her back, and she feels like she finally found somebody who treats her with the respect she deserves.”
