The caption seemingly referenced her ex Justice's recent comments made during an Aug. 7 appearance on former NBA star Matt Barnes' 'All the Smoke' podcast — when Justice discussed his four-year marriage to Berry before their divorce was finalized in 1997.
'There really wasn't a lot of negative attention until I decided to leave her in 1996,' the ex-Yankees star said. '… She asked me to marry her after knowing me for five months. I said, 'OK' because I couldn't say no … but I don't know if my heart was really into it.
'… My knowledge and wisdom around relationships wasn't vast. So I'm looking at my mom, and I'm a midwest guy, so in my mind I'm thinking, a wife at that time should cook, clean — and then I'm thinking, 'OK if we have kids, is this the woman I want to have kids with or a family with.

'And at that time, as a young guy, she don't cook, don't clean, don't really seem like motherly and then we start having issues.'

Justice added that he was 'footing everything' at the time because Berry 'didn't have any money.'
Halle and Hunt went public with their relationship in 2020.
During a joint interview on 'TODAY with Jenna & Friends' in June, the music artist joked that he proposed to the 'Monster's Ball' actress.

'So I put out the proposal, and it's still on hold as you can see,' Hunt, 55, said as Berry laughed. 'It's just out there floating. You know, maybe you can encourage her.'
Berry explained why things have been on hold in terms of getting married.

'Well, I've been married three times. Van has been married once, and so, no, we don't feel like we have to get married to validate our love in any way. We don't,' Berry said.

'But I think we will get married just because, out of the people I've been married to, this is the person I should have married. And I feel like I should, we should get married, but it's not because we feel like we have to. I think it's something that we would like to do just because we want that expression.'
Berry was married to her second husband, musician Eric Benét, from 2001-05.
