“I know where this is coming from because after the film Taraji was stalking me a little bit. I think that’s what’s really spawning all of these rumors. So I told her, you know, you gotta stop. It was just a movie. Um, but, no, no seriously, we’re not together. But I guess we sold it onscreen because a lot of people believed that.”

Their chemistry was really raw and tangible so it makes a lot of sense that people would have speculations and questions about their love life. Thanks to him, the rumors were quickly shut down.

She revealed

“I’m dedicated to the black man, y’all. I just turned 50 and I mean, I hadn’t said it yet, but it didn’t work out,” Henson said. “I tried. I was, like, therapy. Let’s do the therapy thing, but if you’re both not on the same page with that then you feel like, you’re taking it on yourself, and that’s not a fair position for anybody to play in a relationship.”

This was a confirmation that the pair were no longer in a relationship.

She went on to say this

“My happiness is not his responsibility and his happiness is not mine,”. We have to first learn how to make ourselves happy to make each other happy.

And so, when one person is taking the weight of the entire relationship, it’s never gonna work. You have to show up and yes you want to be understanding but you can’t lose yourself in that understanding.

You have to still stand up for yourself and be there for yourself. But it’s hard to do if the other person is doing that part either. That’s why relationships are so difficult—they’re difficult”.

Taraji is currently single (at least as much as we know as outsiders) but she seems happy and healthy gauging by her instagram posts and stories.

She is still optimistic that she will find love again and hopefully the next relationship she gets into will be endgame for her.
