Halle Berry has revealed she tried to kill herself after her first marriage, to baseball player David Justice, fell apart.

Halle told Parade magazine recently: “I was sitting in my car, and I knew the gas was coming when I had an image of my mother finding me.”

“She sacrificed so much for her children, and to end my life would be an incredibly selfish thing to do. It was all about a relationship.”

“My sense of worth was so low. I promised myself I would never be a coward again.”

She then went onto describe her second marriage, to singer Eric Benet, as really horrific … We were in sex rehab after one year. I wish I had left then, but I was putting everyone’s needs before mine.”

She is now dating model Gabriel Aubry but has pledged that she won’t marry for a third time.
