Actress Halle Berry ushered in her 60th birthday with a distinctive flair, sharing a sequence of captivating photographs on social media that conveyed a powerful and uninhibited message.
The day before her milestone birthday, the "X-Men" star posted several evocative images on Instagram. Accompanying the pictures was a direct and bold declaration: "Today….don’t give a f---!"
A Bold Birthday Celebration
In the shared images, Berry was captured posing confidently in a black robe adorned with prominent red floral patterns and delicate lace detailing along its edges and sleeves. The garment was loosely tied around her waist, creating a deep V-neckline that extended to her navel, subtly revealing her décolletage.
Within the series, some photographs depicted the "Monster's Ball" actress enjoying chocolate-covered strawberries, while others showed her smiling serenely as she relaxed on a daybed. The post quickly garnered an outpouring of admiration from her followers, who filled the comments section with praise.
"Not a single f--- left in stock!! Carry on, @halleberry! 🔥" one fan remarked.
Another commenter expressed, "Why are you so perfect? Ugh 😍😍😍😍😍"
"Perfection! Queen ❤️," wrote one individual, while another simply stated, "My goodness… 🔥."
Berry also included a tender photograph of herself kissing her fiancé, Van Hunt, as they lounged together on an outdoor sofa.
Gratitude and a Unique Romance
On her actual birthday, Berry returned to Instagram to extend her heartfelt appreciation to her followers for their numerous birthday wishes. She posted a picture holding a card that read, "Happy 60th," alongside a message reflecting her gratitude.
"Thank you from my ❤️ for all the birthday love and well wishes. I’m grateful to still be here!!" she wrote.
Berry's relationship with musician Van Hunt reportedly blossomed during the COVID-19 pandemic. Speaking to AARP: The Magazine in January 2022, Berry revealed that their initial connection was forged over four months of phone conversations.
"We were forced to let only our brains connect and discover if we had a connection before our bodies decided to get involved," she explained to the publication. "I'd never done it this way. I fell in love with his mind, his conversation."
Following initial romance speculation in July 2020, Berry officially confirmed their relationship in September of that year. She did so with an Instagram post featuring herself in a T-shirt bearing Hunt’s name, captioned with the phrase, "now ya know."
Since publicly acknowledging their romance, the couple has frequently been seen together on red carpets and has regularly appeared on each other's social media accounts. Hunt disclosed his proposal in June 2025, though Berry did not publicly confirm their engagement until February 2026.
Reflecting on their future, Berry shared her perspective with "Today" in June 2025.
"I think we will get married just because, out of the people I’ve been married to, this is the person I should have married," Berry stated. "And I feel like I should, we should get married, but it’s not because we feel like we have to. I think it’s something that we would like to do just because we want that expression."
Past Marriages
Berry has been married three times previously. Her first marriage was to baseball player David Justice, lasting from 1993 to 1997. She later married singer-songwriter Eric Benét, a union that spanned from 2001 to 2005. Her third marriage was to actor Olivier Martinez, from 2013 to 2015, with their divorce finalized in 2023.
