Halle Berry says 'I don’t want to keep the wrong man'
The Oscar-winning actress and host Drew Barrymore, 50, discussed the challenges of modern dating.
When Barrymore asked how people meet these days, Halle Berry admitted, "Drew, I used to have this problem too."
Berry addressed public perceptions of her relationships, saying, "I've heard people say, 'Something must be wrong with Halle Berry, she can’t keep a man.' Who's to say I want to keep a man? I don’t want to keep the wrong man," 'The Union' actress said.
"Like, I’m not crazy, right? So when you find that you make a mistake — we all make mistakes. We have a right to say, ‘Oh God, this was a mistake. Let me start again.’ We have the right to do that," she added, as per People.
Halle Berry says she 'manifested' Van Hunt into her life
Halle Berry, who has been married three times, said she "manifested" her relationship with Van Hunt, 54, by shifting her focus.
"I always focused on what I didn’t want, and you know what I did? I manifested that, because the universe only hears the action, right? They don’t hear the 'don’t' part," the 'Catwoman' actress said.
She added, "What I realized was when I manifested the last time, I only focused on what I wanted. The things I didn’t want I didn’t even think about. I was very specific about what I needed."
"I would just be positive around it, and believe it or not, one day I got introduced to him by a friend," Berry continued.
Berry shares two children, son Maceo-Robert, 11, with ex-husband Olivier Martinez and daughter Nahla, 16, with Gabriel Aubry.
She was also previously married to former MLB player David Justice and singer-songwriter Eric Benet.
