Halle Berry set the record straight on her relationship with Van Hunt after sparking speculation they had tied the knot.

Berry fooled numerous fans – including celebs such as Dwayne Johnson and Octavia Spencer – into believing she married Hunt after posting a joking Instagram post capturing her and Hunt sharing a kiss at the end of an aisle.

But on Sunday the 55-year-old actress clarified they did not tie the knot in a snuggled-up selfie thanking everyone for their ‘well wishes’ anyways.

‘We were just having some New Year’s Day fun!’ Halle wrote in the caption. ‘People clearly don’t swipe as much as we thought they did. thank you for the well wishes, tho’, it really touched our hearts! Now it’d OFFICIAL, the internet is no longer undefeated.’

The confusion all started Saturday after the actress posted a series of photos to her Instagram account which made it appear as though she and Hunt had taken a walk down the aisle.

She revealed it was all a ruse, but the joke still fooled stars such as The Rock. 

DailyMail.com contacted Halle’s representatives regarding the post. 

Gotcha! Berry, 55, fooled her fans and famous friends with a joking post celebrating the start of 2022 on Saturday that made it look as if she and boyfriend Van Hunt had gotten married

Halle had several of her fans fooled after she posted a photo of herself and Van in what appeared to be a church in the tropical paradise the two have been vacationing in throughout the holidays.

They stood in front of a curving A-shaped window looking out on gorgeous green clear water, beaches dotted with palm trees and thatched huts, while mist covered mountains loomed even farther away.

The small room appeared to be a church based on rows of benches on either side of the room that were arranged like pews.

Halle wore a flower crown and a dark dress as she stood on her tip toes to kiss Van in front of the window.

‘well…IT’S OFFICIAL!’ she gushed in her caption. 

Whoops: She captioned her first photo ‘IT’S OFFICIAL’ as if she had gotten married, but a second closeup revealed that she just meant ‘It’s 2022!’

Fooled him: Not everyone who saw the post appeared to get the joke, or perhaps they didn’t swipe to see the punchline. Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson commented with multiple clapping emojis and wrote, ‘congrats you two!!! Beautiful!!’

But the second image in her post revealed that she was just joking, as she captioned a cute closeup of her and Van with ‘It’s 2022!’ 

She showed off a lovely soft smile while revealing a bit of her flowers and her long caramel-colored hair.

Van, who sported a salt-and-pepper beard, showed some teeth and gazed directly into the camera.

She originally appended the hashtag ‘#Gotcha,’ but she appeared to have edited it out of her post at some point, making it even harder for her fans to tell that she was joking.

The actress Lesley-Ann Brandt added, ‘[Heart] The [heart]. Congratulations.’

The Facts Of Life star Kim Fields also fell for Halle’s joke. She wrote, ‘CONGRATS GUYS!!!’ along with a string of hearts, kissing faces and champagne flutes. 

Ruth E. Carter, the Oscar-winning costume designer who has collaborated with Spike Lee, Steven Spielberg and designed the costumes for Black Panther, commented, ‘[Heart] I’m so happy for you two [lovestruck emoji].’

Halle, who has been married three times in the past, first teased her relationship with Van in an Instagram post from August 2020 that showed their feet entwined without revealing his identity.

She later teased that she was in a new relationship, but it wasn’t until September that Halle posted a photo of Van’s face to confirm he was her boyfriend.

Since then, the musician has become more and more of a fixture on her social media pages, and they made their red carpet debut in April.

Van is an R&B and soul singer and guitarist, though he also plays several other instruments.

He’s stayed out of the spotlight during the tropical holiday vacation, though he did pose for a cute photo in which he and his love poked their heads out of a door on Christmas.

‘Merry Christmas from our home to yours!’ Halle captioned the photo.
