When you’re a celebrity, especially a female one, the world can take an unhealthy interest in your love life.
Actor and Oscar winner Halle Berry discussed how that feels when she was interviewed by Drew Barrymore. In the interview, Berry commented on how the public have interpreted her relationship history.
Berry has had three marriages and three divorces and is now with boyfriend Van Hunt. She has two children with former relationship partners: 16-year-old Nahla with ex-husband Gabriel Aubry and 10-year-old Maceo with actor Olivier Martinez.
Berry took a moment in the interview to address the rumors that she “can’t keep a man,” which resurface from time-to-time, commenting on her three divorces.
Berry celebrated her ability to realize her mistakes—even in love—and readjust her life accordingly.
“Who says 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.“
People praised Berry for her bravery and affirmed her actions.

Berry’s current project is not film, but rather an app, Respin, that aims to address issues around menopause, which the actor struggled with greatly.
