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.

Full-Figured Flings Teaser Nears 10K Views – Director of Photography Offers Special Father’s Day Release
Back 2 the Basics Production Management Group is proud to announce the official teaser premiere for FFF: Full-Figured Flings, a bold and unapologetic new film celebrating full-figured women and challenging the norms of beauty in Hollywood. Clocking in at just 46 seconds, the teaser doesn’t waste a moment, delivering a powerful visual and emotional punch that sets the tone for a project rooted in body positivity, size inclusivity, and cultural truth.
Premiering ahead of the 20th anniversary of Phat Girlz (2006), FFF serves as both homage and evolution. The film expands the conversation around colorism, sizeism, and shapeism, spotlighting women who have often been cast aside, sidelined, or silenced.
“This teaser is more than a preview—it’s a declaration,” said Lillie Mae Jones, creator and producer. “FFF is our love letter to the women who’ve never been centered but have always been essential. We’re not just telling stories—we’re shifting the lens.”
FFF: Full-Figured Flings is currently in development as a non-union independent production, with plans to release in 2026. The film invites audiences and allies to follow, support, and amplify the message through community engagement, open casting calls, and creative collaborations—including the launch of a nationwide call for a “Big Girl Anthem” to serve as the film’s official theme song.
Accept the Challenge…
The buzz is building fast around the highly anticipated full-figured fashion experience FFF, and now there’s a challenge on the table that fans won’t want to miss.
After racking up 11,000 views in less than 10 days, the official teaser video for FFF on YouTube is quickly gaining momentum. And now, the film’s Director of Photography, Dominique Perry, has thrown down a bold offer:
“If we hit 20,000 views before Saturday, June 14th, I’ll drop an exclusive second teaser on Father’s Day.”
This is more than a film—it’s a movement. FFF is a high-fashion, high-impact visual celebration of full-figured women taking a stand for representation, inclusion, and power on and off the runway.
Here’s how you can help make it happen: Watch the teaser now on YouTube. Like, comment, and subscribe. Share it with your community and post why YOU stand in solidarity with full-figured women
