However, she is adamant that being a mother to her two children, Nahla, 18, with Gabriel Aubry, and Maceo-Robert, 12, with Olivier Martinez, is her proudest achievement, even more so than her Oscar win in 2001.
She added: “I have a lot to be proud of. I’m grateful for that [Oscar win]. But the thing I’m most proud of is my kids … They are the best things in my life.”
Berry – who has been married three times previously – confirmed her engagement during an appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon back in February, revealing she wanted to clear up rumours that suggested she had turned down his proposal.
The actress explained: “There’s some confusion that he asked to marry me and I said no. I did not say no. We just don’t have a date. But of course I said yes, I would marry him!
“He did put a little ring on it.”
Berry – who was married to David Justice between 1993 and 1997, Eric Benet from 2001 until 2005 and to Oliver Martinez from 2013 until 2016 – previously insisted she didn’t need to get married again just to prove her relationship with Van Hunt is strong.
She told The Cut: “I haven’t said ‘yes’. I don’t think we need to be married to have a meaningful relationship. I’m in the best relationship I have ever had.”
