Back in 2022, the Bruised director-actress spoke with AARP The Magazine about how she believes she's "found my person" in Hunt, who is a musician.

"My son Maceo on his own did this little commitment ceremony for us in the back seat of the car," Berry also said at the time. "I think he finally sees me happy, and it's infectious. It was his way of saying, 'This is good. This makes me happy.' "

"It was a very real moment for all of us," she continued. "I teared up, Van was fighting back tears. Even Maceo knew he'd said something poignant. I have two children; Van has a son. As a mom living this modern, blended family, all I care about is that my kids are okay with my decisions."
