When asked by Extra if she and Hunt are “madly in love,” Berry replied, “We are,” before adding, “Sometimes you have to wait for things in life. I waited patiently — well, maybe not patiently, but I waited.”

Earlier this year, Hunt opened up to Entertainment Tonight about how his girlfriend has influenced both him and his music.
“The inspiration for our relationship goes across everything, even in my parenting,” he told the outlet, per Page Six.“I’m a completely different person, I can say it like that, and I think that it’s improved every aspect of my life.”
He also gushed over the sweet Valentine’s Day post that Berry wrote for him on Instagram in February.
“It was well-written, which at least that’s what I like to acknowledge because I don’t know that people know that side of her because she can write as well,” he said. “You guys are gonna be surprised at all the things that she can do.”
“Bruised” premieres on Netflix on Nov. 24.
