Berry was educated at Bedford High School, in which she was a cheerleader, honor student, crowned prom queen as well as editor of the school newspaper. She was unhappy with her condition of having biracial background as her father was Afro-American while her mother was white. Therefore, she decided to identify herself as a black woman because she thinks her appearance would be perceived as so. Despite her success, Berry was raised in a broken home family as her parents separated when she was only four. She lived with her mother and had been estranged from her father since then because he was very abusive.
Regarding her love life, Berry has married and separated several times. In 1993, she married David Justice and they got separated four years later. Her second marriage with singer-songwriter Eric Benét only lasted for about two years (2001-2003). Berry and Benét were officially divorced in 2005. In November the same year, Berry began dating Gabriel Aubry, a French-Canadian model. Two years after giving birth to their daughter in 2008, Berry and Aubry announced their separation and were involved in a custody battle. In 2010, Berry dated a French actor, Olivier Martinez. They confirmed their engagement in 2012 before finally got married the following year. After two years of marriage, however, they announced they were divorcing.
