Van Hunt knows fans want him to propose to longtime girlfriend Halle Berry.
But it turns out, he already has.
The couple told TODAY.com in an interview after their June 4 joint appearance on TODAY with Jenna & Friends that Hunt already popped the question to Berry.
"So I put out the proposal, and it’s still on hold as you can see," the 55-year-old musician said as Berry laughed. "It’s just out there floating. You know, maybe you can encourage her."
As for why Berry hasn't yet said yes to Hunt's proposal? The Oscar winner said it's simple.
“Well, I’ve been married three times. Van has been married once, and so no, we don’t feel like we have to get married to validate our love in any way. We don't,” Berry said.
"But 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 added. “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."
Berry and Hunt went public with their romance in September 2020.
Since then, the lovebirds have delighted fans by sharing intimate — sometimes very intimate — moments from their life together.
Berry told TODAY.com her friends and family members have been thrilled to see the joy Hunt has brought to her life.
“I think everybody’s been really happy, at least for me personally, people have been like, ‘You finally found ... !’ I’ve always wanted what we have," she said.
She added, “I always saw myself in a committed, loving relationship with like my best friend, someone that I respect and I love."
When TODAY.com asked the "X-Men" franchise star when she planned to say "I do" with Hunt, she replied, "Soon."
Berry shares a daughter, Nahla, 17, with ex-boyfriend Gabriel Aubry, and a son Maceo, 11, with ex-husband Oliver Martinez, to whom she was married from 2013 to 2016.
She was also previously married to former baseball pro David Justice from 1993 to 1997 and to musician Eric Benét from 2001 to 2005.
Hunt is dad to a son from a previous relationship.
