Oedipus Complex alert! Van Hunt paid an oddly sexualized tribute to his partner Halle Berry for Mother’s Day.
In the photograph, the veteran actress is captured in a nude pose on a balcony, enveloped by greenery. Her rump rests firmly against the balcony’s ironwork. The actress casts a gaze at the camera as if you say “Yes, I know my bare buttocks are the focal point of this picture.”
“Happy Mother’s day from the bottom… of my heart,” Hunt coyly captioned the post. “Oh s—, I wasn’t s’posed to post that!”
“Butt…u hav to admit thassa bada–… mutha right there!” the wordsmith quipped.
Meanwhile, Halle Berry paid tribute to Hunt’s mother, affectionately referring to her as her mother-in-law, on her own Instagram page.
“Happy Mother’s Day to all the glorious mothers of the world and especially my beautiful mother-in-law, DJ! You’ve come into our lives and brought the sunshine with you,” she wrote alonside candid snaps.
“I so admire the way you love with such grace and style! When you shower us with your pearls, we are instantly made better! We love you so very much,” Berry added.
It’s unclear how seriously to take Berry’s mother-in-law remark; she and Hunt have never publicly revealed any sort of legal union. Halle neglected to giver her biological mother a shout-out on the big day.
Halle Berry Feels She Found ‘Her Person’ in Van Hunt
Berry and Hunt, who made their relationship public in September 2020, share three children together. Berry is a mother to Nahla Ariela, her 16-year-old daughter with former partner Gabriel Aubry, and Maceo-Robert, her 10-year-old son with ex-husband Olivier Martinez. Meanwhile, Hunt is the father of a teenage son, Drake.
In 2022, Halle gushed to AARP that she was pretty sure she’d snagged her perfect match in Hunt. “I really believe I’ve found my person. My son Maceo on his own did this little commitment ceremony for us in the back seat of the car,” she said at the time.
“I think he finally sees me happy, and it’s infectious. It was his way of saying, “This is good. This makes me happy.”‘
She continued, “It was a very real moment for all of us. I teared up, Van was fighting back tears. Even Maceo knew he’d said something poignant.”
