Key Moments in Halle Berry's Romantic Journey

During a Q&A event in February 2017, Halle revealed she’s felt “guilty and responsible” for her past failed relationships. “[As] women, we go into marriage thinking it’s going to last forever and that this is our prince on a shiny horse. That’s what fairy tales taught me as a kid … and I’m kind of anti–fairy tales today,” she said. “I have learned to deal with three failed marriages, which has not been easy, especially when there are children involved.”

“When [your relationship] falls apart it feels like a huge failure and a huge disappointment,” Halle added. “I’ve often felt guilty and responsible. I’ve suffered a lot of pain and anguish.” Through it all, Halle has remained strong, using her experiences to empower herself and others.

In January 2020, she shared on Instagram, “I’m proud of the woman I am today because I went through a hell of a time becoming her.” This resilience is a testament to her character and serves as an inspiration to many who face similar struggles in their own lives.

No matter how many times you try, it’s always worth it. If you desire love, you will find your match, your equal … your person … even if it takes you until you’re 54!”

This heartfelt message resonates with many, encouraging them to pursue their dreams of love and happiness despite past failures. Halle's journey exemplifies the importance of perseverance and self-love in the quest for lasting relationships.
