Halle Berry penned a poignant essay about embracing her evolving sexuality at age 56. In a piece for Women’s Health Magazine, the “Cat Woman” star emphasized the importance of accepting one’s current stage in life, stating, “The most important thing about owning your sexuality as a woman is accepting the station you’re in – and embracing it. And I say that because I’m smack dab in the middle of menopause.”
Balancing her successful entertainment career, raising two children, and a passionate romance with 53-year-old musician Van Hunt, Berry is redefining what it means to be in her prime. He reveals that he challenges society’s expectations and refuses to succumb to notions like “your life is over” or “you should retire.”
“I challenge all stereotypes about how you have to look a certain way or feel a certain way. I am the best me now that I have reached the age of 56,” he asserted confidently.
Berry added, “I don’t have any more blanks to give. I’m solid in my femininity. I finally realize what I say is valuable, even if no one else agrees.”

Berry shared her thought-provoking reflections on her time in Cannes and addressed the taboos often associated with women’s health. She emphasized the need for open conversations about these issues, noting that starting such discussions could lead to a domino effect of women sharing their experiences. “If you start the conversation, most women will follow. You know why? Because it’s something we want to do.”
Berry spoke about the lack of such discussions and the desire to connect with others over shared experiences, adding, “It’s something we’ve been deprived of, and it’s something we want to share with each other. We just need permission to do it.”
Highlighting the power of community, she notes that women can learn and grow from each other’s stories, gain valuable insights and discover better ways to manage their health. “We will all go through it. And we learn from each other when we talk about it, when we become curious, and when we share with each other what we experience. We educate each other and we give each other ideas. We understand how to manage things better,” he explained.

Departing from conventional norms, the world-renowned actress offers her perspective on motherhood, explaining her own journey welcoming children in her 40s.
She urges those in their mid-30s not to be constrained by society’s expectations of parenting at a certain age. “If you’re in your mid-30s, don’t be swayed by the idea that you have to have children at a certain age. You decide,” Berry wrote.
The “Monster’s Ball” actress challenged her audience to consciously consider their choices, stressing that parenthood requires huge sacrifices and isn’t something women “have to” do.
She added, “Do it only if you want to, because you’re giving up a lot of your personal life to develop other lives. And maybe you’re not a woman who wants to do that. No harm, no foul, no judgment. Be clear about who you are and how you want to be. live your life as it is yours and yours alone to live.
Turning his attention to those in their 20s, he championed the phase of exploration, self-discovery and curiosity. “If you’re in your 20s, own that. Have an era of exploration. Get an era of true curiosity. Get the era of trying to find out who you are,” he encouraged.
“Take your time and think for yourself. You don’t have to rush it, you don’t have to force it. It’s not a race.”

She notes that the purpose of exercise goes beyond mere appearance—saying, “When we exercise, it’s not to look. It’s for the feeling, right? It is for health benefits. And by feeling good and getting those health benefits, the byproduct is okay, you look good too.”
Berry added, “But looking good is never the motivation. It’s always about the feeling and about the health benefits.”
