Halle Berry Gets Booed On Jimmy Fallon For Engagement
Not everyone was thrilled to hear the happy news, though — with one person even going so far as to boo her.
Halle was telling Jimmy how “great” Van is when someone in the audience suddenly booed.
“Noooooo!” Halle said. “Yay!” Jimmy laughed. “Don’t be jealous!” he told the person. “No, he’s great. We love him.”
Halle then addressed some “confusion” around the status of their relationship, caused by a June 2025 interview that suggested Van had proposed, but she hadn’t said yes.
“There’s some confusion that he asked to marry me, and I said ‘No,'” Halle began.
That’s when the audience member once again interjected, yelling, “Yes!”
Halle and Jimmy both shouted back, “No!”
“No, sir, stop,” Jimmy said, covering his face as he started to laugh. He then reached over and gave Halle a comforting pat on the arm as she smiled and laughed.
She finished her story by explaining that she and Van are very much engaged. “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,” Halle said to raucous cheers from the audience.
