Which singer did actress Halle Berry marry in 2001?

Actress Halle Berry married singer Eric Benét in 2001.

Berry and Benét married on 24 January 2001. Benét is an American R&B and soul singer-songwriter known for songs including “Spend My Life with You.” Berry was already a prominent film star, with major roles in films such as Boomerang, Bulworth and X-Men before winning the Academy Award for Best Actress for Monster’s Ball in 2002.

Their marriage ended in divorce, finalized in 2005. Berry and Benét did not have a child together, although Berry became a stepmother to Benét’s daughter from a previous relationship. The couple’s relationship is one part of Berry’s broader public relationship history, which has included several marriages.

A frequent confusion involves Berry’s later marriage to musician Olivier Martinez, or her relationship with singer Seal. Those are different relationships. The singer she married in 2001 was Eric Benét, whose career is rooted in contemporary R&B rather than film acting.
