Berry's fans were delighted by the news, with many pointing out the irony of the actress owning cats given her iconic portrayal of the feline-costumed antiheroine Catwoman in the 2004 film of the same name. "Awww Catwoman with her cats," one fan commented.
Celebrity friends also expressed their adoration for Berry's new kittens. Michelle Pfeiffer exclaimed "love" followed by a series of hearts, while Julianne Moore exclaimed "Awwwwwwwww."

The arrival of Boots and Coco marks a significant milestone in Berry's life. The actress has long expressed a desire to have pets, but her busy schedule and demanding career often made it difficult. Now, with her newfound freedom and the support of her partner, singer-songwriter Van Hunt, Berry can finally indulge in her love for animals.
In addition to her furry companions, Berry is a mother to two children: daughter Nahla, 16, whom she shares with her ex Gabriel Aubry, and son Maceo-Robert, 10, whom she shares with her ex-husband Olivier Martinez.

Berry and Hunt began dating in 2020 after meeting at a mutual friend's party. In a 2022 Instagram post, Berry gushed about her happiness with Hunt, writing, "Stay single until you find someone who doesn't want to play games, someone who knows what they want."
Berry's personal life has been filled with both joy and heartbreak. She was married to baseball player David Justice from 1993 to 1997 and to singer Eric Benét from 2001 to 2005. She and Martinez were married from 2013 to 2015.
Despite her past relationships, Berry has remained optimistic about finding love again. In a 2021 interview with People magazine, she said, "I'm open to finding love again. I'm just taking my time and enjoying my life right now."
Berry's newfound happiness with Hunt, her children, and her furry companions is a testament to her resilience and her ability to find joy in the unexpected places. As she embarks on this new chapter in her life, she is surrounded by love and support from her family and friends.
