Halle Berry has revealed that she has had a "commitment ceremony" with her partner Van Hunt - after she prompted speculation that they had got married earlier this month.
The actor, 55, is understood to have been in a relationship with her musician beau, 51, since 2020 - with the couple having begun their relationship amid the Covid pandemic.

Berry shared a photo of herself and the Grammy Award winner at the end of an aisle, telling her seven million followers on Instagram in the caption: "well ... IT'S OFFICIAL."
It attracted an outpouring of congratulatory messages from fans, including a number of celebrities. The post however also featured a selfie of the couple which read: "It's 2022!"
In a subsequent post, Berry said: "We were just having some New Year's Day fun. People clearly don't swipe as much as we thought they did. Thank you for the well wishes tho'."
And whilst she may not have got married, the X Men star has now revealed that she and Hunt have had a "commitment ceremony," which was led by her son Maceo Martinez, 8.
