Halle Berry’s boyfriend of five years, Vant Hunt, recently revealed that their engagement is “on hold” for now. However, a source exclusively tells In Touch that marriage is still imminent for the pair.

“Halle says Van is her soulmate. She’s 100 percent sure she wants to spend the rest of her life with him,” the insider says. “Before meeting Van, she swore off ever getting married again, she was so disillusioned with men and with the whole ‘fairytale ending’ fantasy. But then she met Van, and she opened up her heart again, and the truth is, she does feel like he is her happy ending — the one she was meant to be with all along.”

The Catwoman star, 58, was previously married to David Justice from 1993 to 1997, Eric Benét from 2001 to 2005 and Olivier Martinez from 2013 to 2016.

“Looking back at her failed marriages, she doesn’t have shame anymore,” the source continues. “She just sees them as having lasted for as long as they were meant to. She knows people will have plenty of comments for her when she announces that she’s getting married again, but she’s so in love with Van, and so certain about him as a person, that she doesn’t care.”

The insider adds that Halle has said Van, 55, “is the first man she truly got to know before jumping into bed, and in her mind that’s very significant because she was able to see him so clearly as a person.”

“She wasn’t blinded by all the hormones that happen with sex,” the source concludes. “In her past relationships, things moved very quickly, passion was the name of the game, but with Van, it all went much slower. The passion is there for sure. They’re still wildly attracted to each other, but it’s a much deeper love than just physical attraction.”

Halle and Van first connected during the COVID-19 pandemic and got to know each other for “four months” over the phone, she once told AARP: The Magazine. Van later shared his first photo with Halle in July 2020, and the Oscar winner confirmed the relationship on her Instagram in September 2020.

While many fans have pushed for the adorable couple to get engaged, Van revealed in a Wednesday, June 4, interview with Today.com that he had already proposed to his girlfriend. However, Halle had yet to accept.

“So, I put out the proposal, and it’s still on hold as you can see,” the musician said. “It’s just out there floating. You know, maybe you can encourage her.”

Halle added, “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.”

The Never Let Go actress continued, “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. 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.”

When asked when she and Van planned to tie the knot, Halle simply responded, “Soon.”
