A Good Old-Fashioned Courtship
Berry met Hunt, who made a name for himself with his 2004 self-titled debut album, in 2020. The two had a lot of time to get to know one another as they spent four months talking on the phone while most of the world was in quarantine. The actress opened up about her old-school courtship with Hunt in a 2022 interview with AARP: The Magazine.
“We were forced to let only our brains connect and discover if we had a connection before our bodies decided to get involved,” she said. “I’d never done it this way. I fell in love with his mind, his conversation.”
While rumors swirled about her connection with Hunt, Berry went IG official with their relationship in September 2020, when she posted a photo of herself wearing one of his tour t-shirts in a post she captioned, “now ya know... “
“When you’re loved and supported as a woman, everything changes,” she told Extra in a November 2021 interview. “The day looks brighter, everything looks better. Your opportunity seems limitless.”
So far, things are looking good for Berry and her new boo. Let’s hope it lasts.
