Halle Berry has confirmed that she was drunk when she posted pictures of her and musician boyfriend Van Hunt at an altar, making it look like they had actually got married.

The Oscar-winning actress shared the story with Jimmy Fallon on ‘The Tonight Show’ after duping the public and all her celebrity pals on New Year’s Day.

She explains in the interview how she was walking back after drinks at the bar on holiday when her and Hunt passed a Chapel where they staged a just got married picture alongside the headline “Well…IT’S OFFICIAL!”

Halle, 55, ascertains it was an Instagram joke that majorly backfired. She had no idea until later on how seriously it would be taken as no one swiped right to see the It’s 2022 picture she shared on the same post. The Rock and Ava DuVernay were amongst pals that shared their best wishes.

After 20 minutes or so she said, “We are such assholes! No one got it.”

Halle and Hunt, 51, have been dating since September 2020 and have recently participated in a commitment ceremony led by her son Maceo (NOT a marriage!) although friends of the couple say marriage is definitely on the cards.
