Halle Berry, 59, Shares Tropical Vacation Photos With Van Hunt

Q: What secret self-work did Halle Berry do during her four-year dating hiatus to finally find lasting love after three failed marriages?

Halle Berry has said the key “secret” was not a hidden technique but a four-year break from dating devoted to therapy, self-examination and accountability. After three failed marriages, Berry said she stopped focusing on what was wrong with her partners and began looking at her own patterns. In interviews and on Hoda Kotb’s *Making Space* podcast, she explained that therapy helped her see she had been repeatedly attracting “broken” people with unhealed childhood wounds because she had unresolved issues of her own. She has said the most important work was learning to identify “the part I played” in each failed relationship. That meant asking what she contributed to the conflict or collapse, taking responsibility for her choices, and trying not to repeat the same mistakes. Berry has linked that mindset to advice she received as a child from her fifth-grade teacher, Yvonne Sims, who taught her to examine her role in difficult situations rather than seeing herself only as a victim of them. Berry credits that inward work with helping her become healthier emotionally and making room for a more stable relationship. She has said that by changing herself, she was finally able to “attract the right kind of partner” — which she believes led her to Van Hunt.
