55-year- old Oscar winner, Halle Berry has revealed that show host Ellen DeGeneres could have saved her from three previous divorces if she had gotten involved in her love life earlier.
The Hollywood actress said this during an appearance on Ellen’s show after she learned that both she and her current musician partner, Van Hunt had appeared on DeGeneres’ show in 2004.
Berry and Hunt’s individual appearances on the first season of the comedian’s hit show were just a month apart – Hunt’s in April and Berry’s in May. This led Berry to think that if only DeGeneres had scheduled them for the same night, she could have saved her from three divorces.
Prior to Berry’s relationship with Hunt, she had been married three times. Her most recent ex-husband is French film actor Olivier Martinez, who she divorced in 2016. Before that, she was married to RnB soul singer Eric Benét (from 2001 to 2005) and baseball player David Justice (from 1993 to 1997).

‘We’ve talked about this, he and I, actually, a few days ago, when I knew I was coming here,’ Berry explained.
‘I said, “I was on her first season,” and he goes, “So was I!” I go, “You mean you could’ve found me 20 years and saved me all this misery?”‘ Halle proclaimed.
After DeGeneres expressed her amazement, Berry went on to say: ‘How come you didn’t arrange that Ellen?’
DeGeneres followed up with: ‘You should’ve been on the same show.’
