Halle Berry is finished lying in bed.
That is, simulating an orgasm during sex. In fact, the Oscar winner will no longer pretend to be satisfied, bluntly sharing, I don't do that anymore.
We had to get there so he felt good about bringing us to orgasm," Halle explained in her episode of the Sex With Emily podcast, which premiered on February 24. We had to explain that we did it so he could feel good about himself. So, what is that doing? That's prioritizing his needs over ours.
She went on, I'm like, No, I come first, just as you come first to you. We both deserve for this to be a mutually enjoyable experience, so we can both roll over and sleep because we feel good—not one snoring and the other one looking at the ceiling, going, What the hell?
However, the 59-year-old is no longer concerned with reaching climax. After all, her relationship with fiancé Van Hunt has been nothing short of steamy. It was the first time I was madly in love before I had sex. That has never happened to me, ever, Halle, who was previously married to David Justice, Eric Benét, and Olivier Martinez, told Marie Claire in 2024.Talk about one of those life-changing, beautiful moments. It was truly magical.
In fact, their connection is so strong that Halle—mom to daughter Nahla, 17, with ex Gabriel Aubry and son Maceo-Robert, 12, with Olivier—believes, Out of the people I've been married to, this is the person I should have married. Having gone through three divorces, I finally knew what wasn't working and I realized I was always saying to the universe what I didn't want, she told Today a few years ago.Can you guess what I did?I manifested what I did not want. The universe answered Halle's call in 2020, when Van “showed up” in her life.
If it hadn't come, I'd have been content just to raise my children, she added. After three divorces, you kind of say, I'm just going to be alone, and I was prepared to do so. I was finished. I knew if the right person didn't show up for me, I'd be better off going it alone.
