At 58, Halle Berry does not hold back.
In the past few weeks, the Oscar -winning actress has barely wore a dress there at Met Gala and mowed her lubricant on Instagram – while he was in bed with his boyfriend, Van Hunt, 55.
Those who are close to her say that the star of “Catwoman” is a real contradiction.
“Halle walks to the rhythm of her own drum,” said a source that has known her for decades.
“She has always been very defensive that she is much more than her beauty … There is a beauty and a sweetness there, so she may seem irrational.”
However, another source that knows her well said on page six that Berry is simply extremely determined to be a “defender” for menopause women.
“She has this age and this stage of life wonderfully,” insisted the source who knows her. “She is a mother of two healthy children and beautiful children and has been in a healthy relationship for years, and she expresses her joy openly.”
Indeed, the first black woman to win an Oscar, for “Monster’s Ball” in 2002, finally seems to have found happiness after decades of tumultuous relationships.
In 1996, she told people that a former anonymous boyfriend struck her once strong that her eardrum was perforated.
She is married three times-to the baseball player David Justice (from 1993 to 1997), the musician Eric Benét (2001-2005) and actor Olivier Martinez (2013-2016).
She had ugly divisions with Martinez, with whom she shares the 11 -year -old Maceo son, and her other baby dad, the model Gabriel Aubry. The two have never married, but have a 17 -year -old daughter, Nahla, together.
She has been going out with a Hunt musician since 2020, and their relationship coincided with the fact that Berry took a stand for middle -aged women.
“Van met Halle at a time when she already had her power in every way and he is just a support partner and they are in a beautiful and healthy relationship,” said the source that knows Berry well.
In February, in Drew Barrymore’s talk show CBS, she managed to discuss their sex life and the challenges that occurred in her new chapter.
“It has become pretty rough for a minute,” she told Barrymore.
“The conversation is the key,” Berry told the host. “Men must also understand what is going on. We, as women, must have the courage to talk to our partners, and what I found is that most men want to be favorable. ”
The challenges inspired her to launch his own lubricant in December – and it was the very first product offered by his well -being for women, Respin. It has also created an intimacy device that targets the health of the pelvic floor.
Last Sunday, she published a video with Hunt promoting her lubricant “Let’s Spin” from their bed in Cannes, France, where the star is served at the jury for the 2025 Cannes festival.
“I have shown you how my Mother’s Day started, and now I’m going to talk to you – I’m not going to show you – I’m going to tell you how Mother’s Day will end,” she said in the video. “Isn’t that true, baby?” She asked her boyfriend.
Megyn Kelly Franc was far from amused. “She looks very bizarre. Who celebrates Mother’s Day by talking about how to lubricate their wave, with their boyfriend in bed, from Cannes, in France? It’s so weird,” said Kelly, adding that Berry looked “as if she were in drugs with this strange laugh.”
She theorized that the catalyst was when actress Lisaraye McCoy said Berry was “bad in bed” in 2020.
“I think Halle Berry was really on a descending spiral,” said Kelly. “More and more photos of bizarre sex kitten, naked photos, sex messages.”
Kelly also roasted Berry for her choice of holding at the Gala is putting this year, where she honored the red carpet without underwear in a tight laquan dress with transparent panels that extended from the crotch to the crotch on the ground. A cropped tuxedo jacket and a fish veil completed the look.
Online commentators approved the room video more. “Miss Berry is living her best life and we like it for you !!” wrote one. Others joked about feeling like intruders: “Ummmm, we interrupt something” and “we in adult affairs”, while another added: “This is a family page”.
“Halle is a defender!” Said the source who knows her.
Berry joined Oprah Winfrey for her special menopause TV in April, and last year, she was extremely open by speaking to the former First Lady Jill Biden on an unreasonable day of conversation in Los Angeles.
“”[My] Ego told me I was going to jump [perimenopause]”She said, describing her gynecologist had confused her symptoms with a serious case of herpes.
“This is where I knew:” Oh my God, I have to use my platform, “she said.” I have to use everything I am, and I have to start making a change and a difference for other women. “
However, while Berry seems to embrace to be older and wiser, she has not exceeded part of the drama of her old relationships.
She is still in the middle of an in progress battle with Martinez for the exclusive custody of their son after having allegedly allegedly alleging the French actor “refuses co-parents or communicating in a child”.
In November, a judge tried in favor of Berry that Martinez, 58, did not communicate his lack of availability to participate in coparentation therapy.
She previously fought Aubry for the care of Nahla, saying that he had changed her hair, that she perceived as an attempt to hide her daughter’s African-American heritage. They have since settled their differences.
Berry also sadly crossed the sorrow of Aubry and Martinez fighting in front of his house in Los Angeles during Thanksgiving 2012, leading to the arrest of Aubry. A judge made an emergency protection order, forcing Aubry to stay at least 100 meters from Berry, Martinez and Nahla until his hearing date. The battery load was then abandoned.
In 2023, Berry associated himself with Angelina Jolie to make the film “Maude V Maude” – but that seems to be on the back and in, said sources on page Six. It has not yet been put into production.
In an interview with Variety, Berry said that she and pretty descended for a “rocky start” but linked.
“We have talked a lot about divorces and ex,” she said.
For the moment, she has just wrapped the film “Crime 101” with Chris Hemsworth, Monica Barbaro, Barry Keoghan and Mark Ruffalo. It is scheduled for February.
Despite her apparently scandalous antics, the source that has known her for decades noted that Berry is a serious actress with an undeniable talent.
“You can’t take his distinctions to him, and you shouldn’t want it.”
