David Justice, ex of Halle Berry, on their breakdown: “He didn’t cook, he didn’t clean, he didn’t seem very maternal … I said to myself:” This is the woman I want to have children with “?”

The first husband of the Oscar winner Halle Berry It took some pebbles from the shoe. The former 59 -year -old baseball player David Justicewho was married to the actress from 1993 to 1997, recalls the wedding period during the recent Matt Barnes podcast, All the smoke.

The problems were born when the honeymoon phase was over, five months after the wedding, when the athlete started thinking about setting on the family. “My knowledge and understanding, in addition to my wisdom on relationships, were not so great,” he said. «I was looking for a woman who resembled my mother, as a boy from Midwest as I am. In my head I thought of a wife who at the time cooks, cleaned and was traditional ». The question was born in him spontaneously: “If we have children, this is the woman I would like to have them with?”. The answer was not long in coming: «At the time I was a boy. She didn’t cook, she didn’t clean, she didn’t seem to be very maternal and we started fighting“, remember.

For the record, today the 58 -year -old actress has a 19 -year -old daughter, Nahla Ariela, born from the relationship with the Canadian model 48 years old Gabriel Aubry. After Justice she married – and divorced – two more times, first with the American singer Eric Benet and then with the French actor Olivier Martinez, from whom the second son Maceo Robert was born.

Since 2020 he has been a fixed pair with the songwriter Van hunt Which often defines as “my man” and the person who makes her feel more complete. He made the proposal a few weeks ago but the artist has not yet given him an answer, commenting – as reported People – That Van also has a divorce behind him, so “we must not get married to make sense of our love. Just not ».

The situation with Justice was the opposite, as the sportsman recalls: «You asked me to marry her after five months of knowledge, I told her yes because I couldn’t tell her the opposite. Who would say no in those days? ». Surprisingly their bond remained far from the spotlight, until they announced the separation, mainly due to professional differences.

“I don’t know if my heart was there but I didn’t want to disappoint it with a refusal and I enjoyed the time,” he added. However, it did not last long: «We spent long separate periods because she shot films everywhere. Maybe we could have avoided breaking if we had gone to therapy, but I didn’t know. If I had known, we would probably have passed that period ».

Today Justice has three children, but apparently the past has not left behind. For his part Halle Berry had always declared that he could not keep a relationship tight and sometimes that he did not want to, as he then declared in February during an episode of the Drew Barrymore show. «I certainly don’t want to keep the wrong man. Which is not crazy when you understand you made a mistake. And then we all make mistakes, we just have to start over and rectify them ».
