“It’s hard in these streets,” Berry agreed. “I’ve heard people say, ‘Something must be wrong with Halle Berry, she can’t keep a man.’ Who’s to say Iwantto 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.

Berry, who says she “manifested” her current romance with Hunt, 54, said on the talk show that she has “always been a romantic and I always thought I would be a wife and have children.” The movie star admitted that “the career that I have is not what I ever saw for myself. I thought family and love would be first.”

How was it different with Hunt? Prior to him, “I always focused on what I didn’t want, and you know what I did? I manifested that, because the universe only hears the action, right? They don’t hear the ‘don’t’ part.”
