Halle Berry was one of the notable Hollywood A-listers who graced the 2025 Oscars at the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles on Sunday. And though the 58-year-old was without her beau Van Hunt, she explained that the singer was actually on daddy duties.
“My man is with the kids tonight,”,” the Oscar-winner said during an interview with Entertainment Tonight. “He is holding it down tonight,” the mother of two continued. “Sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do for the family.”
Berry graced the event in a conspicuous Christian Siriano metallic silver gown. But it appears her highlight of the night was when she got some payback by surprising fellow actor Adrien Brody with a kiss. Berry locking lips with Brody came after he similarly kissed her off-guard during the 2003 Oscars.

Berry and Hunt became romantically involved in 2020; the pair have since been going strong. In a recent appearance on The Drew Barrymore Show to promote her Respin menopause community, Berry responded to comments she had been hearing regarding her supposed inability to “keep a man.”
Berry, a three-time divorcee, reflected on her love life and said she “found” her “guy [Hunt] later in life,” PEOPLE reported. The show’s host during their conversation asked her “how do people meet” in current times, with the 58-year-old saying, “Drew, I used to have this problem too.” “I mean, it’s hard out here,” Barrymore, also a three-time divorcee, then stated.
“It’s hard in these streets,” Berry said in the affirmative. “I’ve heard people say, ‘Something must be wrong with Halle Berry, she can’t keep a man.’ Who’s to say I want to keep a man? I don’t want to keep the wrong man. Like, I’m not crazy, right? So when you find that you make a mistake — we all make mistakes. We have a right to say, ‘Oh God, this was a mistake. Let me start again.’ We have the right to do that.”
