Halle Berry Says Confidence Makes Her Sex Life Better at 59

Halle Berry is opening up about her relationship and why she believes intimacy gets better with age.

The 59-year-old actress spoke about her sex life with fiancé Van Hunt during a recent appearance on the Sex with Emily podcast. Berry said that as she has gotten older, she feels more confident and no longer worries about pleasing others at the expense of her own happiness.

“With age comes this ‘I have zero cares to give’ attitude,” Berry said during the live podcast recording. She explained that she now feels free to speak openly about what she wants and needs in a relationship.

Berry said that being honest with her partner about what feels good and what does not has made their relationship stronger. She added that in her younger years, she sometimes focused more on her partner’s satisfaction than her own. Now, she believes intimacy should be enjoyable for both people.

“It’s having the confidence to show up for myself and to realize that I deserve an orgasm also,” she said. Berry explained that mutual pleasure and communication are important parts of a healthy relationship.

Berry recently announced that she and singer-songwriter Van Hunt are engaged after five years of dating. She shared the news during an appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon earlier this month.

Speaking at the Los Angeles premiere of her new film Crime 101, Berry said she knew Hunt was “the one” because she has enough life experience to recognize when something feels right.

Berry has been married three times before — to David Justice, Eric Benét, and Olivier Martinez. A source told People magazine that Hunt’s proposal was unexpected and that Berry took some time to adjust to the idea of marriage again. However, she is said to be very happy and feels fortunate in her relationship.

According to the source, the couple plans to have a small and meaningful wedding with close friends and family.

Berry’s comments highlight how confidence and communication can grow over time — and how relationships can improve with experience and honesty.
