In an interview with Marie Claire, Berry discussed her relationship with Van Hunt and how she was "intentional" in creating a relationship that stood the test of time. "I created my career. I was intentional about that,” she said. “But I had never been that intentional with my relationships. I was loosey-goosey with that.” 

She revealed that while it “took me a minute to get it right,”  “the nature of the way this happened, I have a real belief that this is it. This is my person.” 

Berry met Van Hunt through his brother, who introduced the two. “You have to be clear with the universe [or] any old thing will find you," she said. "The minute I started to feel like I understood myself and what I had been doing wrong, Van’s brother, who I had known for many years, came to me and said, ‘You should meet my brother.’” 

Before jumping into anything physical, Berry and Hunt decided to get to know each other better and grow close as friends. "It was the first time I was madly in love before I had sex,” she said. “Talk about one of those life-changing, beautiful experiences. It was magical, just magical.”
