In a candid interview with Parade magazine set to be released this Sunday, renowned actress Halle Berry discloses a past suicide attempt she made following her 1997 separation from ex-husband David Justice, a former baseball star.

Reflecting on that challenging period in her life, Berry reveals how she battled deep despair and contemplated taking her own life.

Recalling the pivotal moment, Berry shares her poignant realization as she sat in her car, contemplating the tragic consequences of her actions, particularly the impact it would have on her mother.

She acknowledges the selfishness of such an act, recognizing the sacrifices her mother had made for her family.

The actress admits that her self-worth had plummeted to such depths that she needed to undergo a personal transformation to see her own value and shed feelings of unworthiness.

Berry, known for her diverse roles ranging from the alluring secret agent Jinx in “Die Another Day” to the emotionally raw portrayal of a waitress in “Monster’s Ball,” which earned her an Academy Award, has navigated through tumultuous relationships, including her marriages to Justice and singer Eric Benet.

Despite the challenges she faced during these turbulent times, Berry emphasizes the importance of reclaiming agency over her life and prioritizing her well-being.

Reflecting on her failed marriage to Benet, Berry acknowledges that their union was fraught with difficulties, leading them to seek help in s** rehab within the first year.

She expresses regret at not leaving sooner but acknowledges that her past experiences have taught her valuable lessons about self-respect and setting boundaries.

The actress credits therapy and counseling for empowering her to break free from destructive patterns and regain control over her life.

Currently, Berry is romantically involved with male model Gabriel Aubry, who is a decade her junior.

Embracing a newfound sense of purpose and direction, she shares her aspirations for motherhood as the next chapter in her life.

With a renewed focus on her personal growth and well-being, Berry expresses her determination to embark on the journey of motherhood, underscoring it as a significant goal she has set for herself.
