Halle Berry Opens Up About Menopause, Sex and Engagement Ring

Actress Halle Berry appeared on the July 15 episode of the podcast “Making Space with Hoda Kotb” to discuss her experience of perimenopause. She described the pain and dryness that can make intimacy difficult, noting that many marriages dissolve at this stage. Berry said her biggest worry was that she might never have pain‑free sex again, but she now feels “juicy like a peach” and reports her sex life is back to normal.

She also promoted her collaboration with JoyLux, a brand that offers intimate‑care products for women, encouraging others to embrace body changes during menopause. In the same interview she spoke about her engagement to musician Van Hunt, highlighting her six‑figure engagement ring featuring a 1.5‑to‑2‑carat Old European‑cut diamond set in a gold band with dark accent stones.
