Halle Berry's Engagement Announcement Met with Mixed Reactions
The actress and model, Halle Berry, recently made headlines when she appeared on Jimmy Fallon's show to announce her engagement. However, not everyone was thrilled with the news, as one audience member expressed their disapproval by booing her. The incident occurred while Halle was sharing how wonderful her partner, Van, is, when the booing started.
"Noooooo!" Halle exclaimed, to which Jimmy Fallon responded with laughter and a playful nudge. "Don't be jealous!" he joked, addressing the booing audience member. Halle then addressed the confusion surrounding their relationship status, which had been sparked by a previous interview. In the interview, it was suggested that Van had proposed, but Halle hadn't accepted.
"There's some confusion that he asked to marry me, and I said 'No,'" Halle clarified. The audience member, who had been booing, shouted 'Yes!' again, causing a brief commotion. Halle and Jimmy both shouted 'No!' in unison, and Jimmy asked the audience member to stop, covering his face with laughter. He then comforted Halle with a pat on the arm, as she smiled and laughed.
Halle went on to explain that they are indeed engaged and that the previous confusion was resolved. "That's not the case. I did not say no. We just don't have a date. But of course, I said yes, I would marry him," she said, receiving enthusiastic cheers from the audience.
