Although 2022 is young, Halle Berry’s son has definitely won the Son of the Year award so far. In a January interview with AARP The Magazine, Berry revealed how son Maceo (whom she shares with ex-husband Olivier Martinez) celebrated his mom’s boyfriend Van Hunt in a major way. “Maceo of his own volition did this little commitment ceremony for us in the back seat of the car,” Berry divulged. “I think he finally sees me happy, and it’s infectious. It was his way of saying, ‘This is good. I like this. This makes me happy.'” Berry said of the emotional moment, “I teared up, Van was fighting back tears. Even Maceo knew he’d said something poignant. It meant a lot to us.”
Berry and Hunt’s commitment to one another was strengthened, like in many cases, by the COVID-19 lockdowns. “Because of COVID, we spent four months talking on the phone. We were forced to only let our brains connect and discover if we had a connection before our bodies decided to get involved,” Berry told AARP. “I fell in love with his mind, his conversation … I really believe I’ve found my person. I fell in love with him before I even met him.” After enduring three divorces as well as the dissolution of her relationship with Gabriel Aubry — the father of her daughter Nahla (per Page Six) — it seems Berry was due to finally find “her person.”
