David Justice bluntly reveals why he ended his marriage to Halle Berry

David Justice is opening up about the downfall of his marriage to Halle Berry.

The former MLB star, 59, appeared on Thursday’s episode of Matt Barnes’ “All the Smoke” podcast and candidly revealed what led to his and Berry’s 1997 divorce.

“Because I was young and I had only, honestly, been in one relationship before her, my knowledge and my understanding, my wisdom around relationships just wasn’t vast,” he explained.

“So, I’m looking at my mom and I’m a Midwest guy,” Justice continued. “So, in my mind, I’m thinking a wife at that time should cook, clean. Then I’m thinking, ‘OK, if we have kids, is this the woman I want to have kids with and build a family with?’”

“At that time, as a young guy, she don’t cook, don’t clean, don’t really seem like motherly, and then we start having issues,” he added of Berry, 58. “I’ll say this, we never had any issues about any women, other men.”

Justice met the “X-Men” actress in May 1992 and they tied the knot in January 1993. After their relationship became constant tabloid fodder, the pair separated in Feb. 1996 and finalized their divorce in June 1997.
