Halle Berry still hasn't accepted her partner's proposal

Halle Berry reveals she hasn't accepted partner Van Hunt's proposal, explaining she doesn't need marriage to validate their meaningful relationship.

"I haven't said 'yes'. I don't think we need to be married to have a meaningful relationship. - Halle Berry"

Los Angeles, Feb 4

Actress Halle Berry is yet to accept her partner's proposal. The 59-year-old star has been with her man Van Hunt for almost six years, and she revealed last summer that he had already popped the question.

The actress feels that she doesn't need to be married to have a meaningful relationship, reports 'Female First UK'.

Now, she told 'The Cut', "I haven't said 'yes'. I don't think we need to be married to have a meaningful relationship. I don't know if we will ever get married".

Halle insisted "health reasons" or being about to make vital medical decisions as each other's legal spouse are the only exceptions to her rule.

As per 'Female First UK', the Oscar-winning actress has been married three times before, to David Justice, Eric Benet and Olivier Martinez, and she explained that each breakup happened for a reason.

She said, "After my third divorce, people started to say, 'What's wrong with her? She's crazy. She can't keep a man'. And I would always argue, 'Who says I want to keep a man if he's not the right man?'".

Now, she's incredibly happy with Van, adding, "I'm in the best relationship I have ever had".

Last summer, Van insisted his proposal to Halle, who has Nahla, 18, with former boyfriend Gabriel Aubry and Maceo, 12, with Olivier, was "still on hold".

Speaking to Today.com, Van said, "I put out the proposal, and it's still on hold as you can see. "It's just out there floating. You know, maybe you can encourage her".

Halle added, "Well, I've been married three times. Van has been married once, and so no, we don't feel like we have to get married to validate our love in any way. We don't".

At the time, she admitted she does think they will walk down the aisle one day.

I respect her choice, but I think marriage provides a sense of security and commitment, especially when children are involved. It's not just about society, it's about building a stable family unit.

Her point about medical decisions is very practical. In India, without that legal status, a partner can be completely sidelined by blood relatives in a hospital. It's a real concern she's highlighting.

Three divorces would make anyone cautious! She's being smart. Why rush into another legal contract when the current arrangement is working? Love isn't measured by a wedding ring.

It's interesting how Western celebrities can openly say this. In our Indian context, living together without marriage is still a big taboo in most families. Times are changing, but slowly.

I feel for Van Hunt though! He proposed and it's just "floating" for years? That must be a bit awkward. At some point, she should give him a clear yes or no instead of keeping him in limbo. Just my two paise.

Her response to people asking "what's wrong with her" is brilliant. Why should a woman be defined by her ability to "keep a man"? That's such an outdated way of
