Taraji P. Henson Finally Reveals her Mystery Man
It’s old news that Taraji P. Henson is a great actress, evidenced by her countless nominations, awards, and iconic pop culture roles.
But hot off the presses, Taraji has actually been playing the role of a lifetime for the last two years: being single.
Dating rumors have been flying since The Shade Room posted a picture of her and Kelvin Hayden holding hands on a Miami beach in 2015. But the private actress has kept her lips tightly sealed on her relationship status, posting him in caption-less IG pictures and referring to him by codenames.
Today, however, Taraji finally spilled the tea herself and confirmed that she is in fact happily cuffed. On Essence’s Yes, Girl! Podcast, Taraji let down her bob and let out the truth, gushing about how genuinely happy she is in her relationship and overall personal life.
But “#ZaddyBear”, her cryptic nickname for the mystery man in question, is no stranger to the limelight himself.
As a former NFL player, Hayden had quite the run before he retired in 2014. The cornerback began his career with the Indianapolis Cults in 2005, and had a five-year West Coast tenure before heading back East to spend a year with yours truly, the Atlanta Falcons. He ended his career with a flourish of poetic justice, hanging up his cleats after two years with his home team, the Chicago Bears.
Since then, the retired athlete has spent his time running a gym in Chicago and cuddling with Taraji and K-Ball, their adorable bulldog puppy. Unfortunately, “#ZaddyBear” is also reputed to be cuddling up to other females, as reported by a shady Instagram account solely dedicated to trolling the couple with “evidence” of his alleged affairs.
But as we all know, with happiness comes haters, and Taraji seems too busy in love to pay any mind to the gossip.
So congrats to the happy couple, and condolences to all the suitors. If you want the real tea, catch her Wednesday nights on Empire.
The award-winning singer hits the US market with one of her best singles yet.
Vanessa Mini is an award-winning singer and songwriter based in Italy. Recently, she achieved a truly fantastic career milestone with her music. The gifted artist was awarded a platinum record, which is a fantastic accolade signaling the success of her recent release, “Ave Fénix,” which actually made it to number one on the US charts. This is truly fantastic, especially considering that Vanessa worked so hard to get to this point and to constantly explore new styles and expand her audience. She is a gifted artist who knows what it takes to make music with passion and integrity, and her consistency has definitely paid off. As an artist, she was able to combine great melodies with punchy production aesthetics that add to the power and appeal of her sound. This accolade is a remarkable testimony to the fact that Vanessa’s music is experiencing global recognition because when you break into the US market, it’s essentially an open door for everywhere else.
This is a powerful demonstration of what it means to make music with no compromise and with full artistic integrity while still retaining a catchy vibe. Her most recent release, “Ave Fénix,” has reached well over 43,000 streams on Spotify alone, and the song keeps moving forward, reaching more and more people. Vanessa is a particularly interesting artist because she is very versatile on tap. Although she is based in Italy, the song is actually sung in Spanish, which really lends a warm and unique vibe to the track. There’s always a “Caliente“ factor to singing in Spanish, especially when it comes to this kind of music, and Vanessa was definitely able to tap into that vibe seamlessly.
