Hollywood star Halle Berry: She counters her ex’s criticism that cool

Hollywood star Halle Berry celebrated her 59th birthday on Thursday – and fired a little swipe towards her first husband, ex -basketball professional David Justice (58) on Instagram.

The Oscar winner published ten pictures of her honorary day, which she apparently spent in tropical realms with her partner van Hunt (55). In the photos you can see Berry under Anderem with a glass of red wine between the toes, together with Hunt in bed while eating, a birthday cake and an envelope with the inscription “Mom”, probably from her children. Your ironic comment on the post: “Phew …! Cooking, cleaning and being a mother” – A clear allusion to Justices statements in a much -noticed interview in Matt Barnes’ “All The Smoke”.

David Justice, former MLB star and married to Berry from 1993 to 1997, had given the podcast with NBA legend barnes intimate insights into the relationship and reasons for separation. According to Justice, he separated from Berry at the time because it did not appear to be “motherly”. In particular, he complained that she would not cook and clean – and therefore did not embodied any properties in his eyes that he wanted with the mother of his children.

However, Justice admitted that at the time of marriage he was still very inexperienced in terms of relationships and was influenced by traditional values of his upbringing. He said: “In my head I thought that a wife should cook and clean. I wondered: would I like to start a family with her?” At the same time, he emphasized that Berry supposedly pushed him to the wedding after only five months of relationship, even though he felt emotionally insecure.

In 1997 the divorce finally followed. While David Justice has been married to Rebecca Villalobos since 2001, Halle Berry experienced more love flaps. Her second marriage to the singer and actor Eric Benét (58) failed in 2005 after four years, the third marriage with French actor Olivier Martinez (59) lasted only a few years. With him she has son Maco-Robert (11). Daughter Nahla (17) comes from her relationship with Gabriel Aubry (48).

Halle Berry has been officially lined with the singer -songwriter van Hunt since autumn 2020 – she does not rule out a new wedding. In June 2025, the musician revealed in a joint interview with “Today.com” that he had already made a marriage proposal to her. With her answer, however, she still hesitates. “I was married three times, van once. We don’t feel that we have to get married to confirm our love.” Then she also added: “I have the feeling that we should marry – not because we have to, but because we want it. Simply as an expression of our love.”
