“We met on set,” the Taken actor said. “And we discovered we had a lovely, budding chemistry — as two actors.”
The Baywatch star agreed, while Neeson added, “It’s like, ‘Oh, this is nice. Let’s not mold this. Let’s just let it breathe.’ And that’s what we did.… America’s here for it, we’re here for whatever this turns into.”
Actor Halle Berry, 58, is another grownup who’s found love later in life.
During a June episode of Today with Jenna & Friends, the Oscar-winning star gushed about her five-year relationship with 55-year-old singer-songwriter Van Hunt, noting it’s “the longest one I’ve ever had.”
“When you find your person, you find your person,” Berry said. “I’ve found my person, finally.”
Hunt said he met Berry in 2020 during the COVID-19 pandemic through his brother.
“Before we ever got together in any physical kind of way, I had fallen madly in love just through talking,” Berry explained, “and telling and sharing … all of our good, our bad, our dirty. We were completely honest because we were in COVID, and who cared? I thought, If I never see him face to face, he’s going to know all of this stuff, but who cares?”
Hunt proposed to Berry, but she told Today they don’t feel like they have to get married to “validate our love.”
