Halle Berry recently gushed about her relationship with her partner, musician Van Hunt, and how their love has impacted her parenting.

During an interview with Womens Health published on Wednesday, the Oscar winner said that being with Hunt makes her feel fulfilled and in turn has helped improve her parenting.

I feel happy in my life romantically, as a mother, as an artist, she said. Im a much better mother in this circumstance than I would have been had I stayed in a romantic relationship that didnt serve me and didnt make me feel the way I need to feel as a woman.

The actor, who is mom to daughter Nahla and son Maceo, said elsewhere in the interview that she wishes she had met Hunt sooner so she could have loved him longer.
