The Truth About Taraji P. Henson's Fiance, Kelvin Hayden

Though the two had discussed marriage a year into their relationship, Taraji P. Henson told Rolling Out in 2019 that her beau Kelvin Hayden was still super nervous to pop the question.

"[When he proposed] his hand was all clammy," Henson recalled. "[I was like] 'Dude, you have been quizzing me for a year about getting married. Do you think I'm gonna say no?'" Henson also boasted about wanting to wait for the perfect man — not just the "right" man — to come into her life. She said, "I didn't wanna settle. I just waited." She made the engagement Instagram official on May 14, 2018, with the caption, "He started with the Cartier love bracelet BUT that was my #Mothersday gift and then he dropped to his knee and I almost passed out!!!"

The two originally planned to tie the knot on April 4, 2020, but Henson revealed in an Extra TV interview in January 2020 that the couple pushed back the date to a new mystery day.

"I mentioned one date. It was 4/4/20 and we were really going to do it 4/4/20, but my wedding planner was like, 'Okay, in case it rains, we'll have umbrellas,'" she explained, "and I was like, 'You know what, never mind about April, let's move it later.'"
