Halle Berry recently opened up about her ex-partner’s alleged sex addiction during a podcast interview with Dax Shepard. While she did not mention Eric Benét by name, it was widely reported in 2002 that he sought treatment for sex addiction while still married to Berry.
Despite Benét’s claims of sex addiction, Berry expressed skepticism, stating, “I had a husband who said he was a sex addict, but I don’t believe that crap.” This revelation came after Benét’s infidelity during their marriage, which ultimately led to their divorce in 2003.
Following their split, Benét denied being a sex addict and attributed his actions to a series of emotional events and poor decisions. He went on to marry Manuela Testolini, Prince’s ex-wife, in 2011, while Berry has been dating musician Van Hunt since 2020.
Berry’s candid comments shed light on the challenges she faced in her past relationships and the importance of reevaluating and prioritizing self-growth. As she continues to navigate love and relationships, she remains committed to nurturing her current relationship with Hunt, emphasizing the significance of their bond as her longest partnership to date.
