Career disputes reportedly led to Halle Berry's initial marriage breakup, according to her former spouse.
Titled: "Clashing Expectations: David Justice and Halle Berry's Marriage and the Debate Over Traditional Gender Roles"
David Justice, the former Major League Baseball player, recently opened up about his marriage to Hollywood icon Halle Berry on Matt Barnes' All the Smoke podcast. The couple tied the knot in 1993 but divorced in 1997, and their union was marred by conflicting expectations regarding traditional gender roles.
Justice expressed his dissatisfaction with Berry not fulfilling what he considered typical wife qualities, such as cooking, cleaning, and being motherly. This mismatch in expectations about roles in their marriage contributed to his decision to end the relationship. Berry, in turn, highlighted this issue publicly, implying that these traditional roles were a point of contention between them.
Justice also claimed that Berry's career and independence were problems for him. He admitted that he had only been in one real relationship before meeting Berry and felt that her success and autonomy were challenging for him to handle.
Despite the issues in their relationship, Justice suggests that if they had known about therapy, they might have been able to save their marriage. He also admitted that Berry proposed to him after just five months of dating, and his heart might not have been fully into it at the time.
The couple's divorce reflected a clash in how each viewed marital roles, rather than just personal differences alone. They spent a lot of time apart due to Berry's filming commitments, and Justice felt that they didn't receive a lot of negative attention until he decided to leave Berry in 1996.
In a more recent development, the three-day Patriotic Film Festival is set to take place in Chennai starting today, ahead of Independence Day. The festival aims to showcase films that celebrate India's rich heritage and cultural diversity.
