TARAJI P. HENSON AND KELVIN HAYDEN – 2 YEARS

On Monday’s episode of The Breakfast Club, the Empire star finally confirmed long-circulating rumors that she had broken up with the former NFL player. After Hayden, 37, went missing from Henson’s 50th birthday celebration in Mexico in September, speculation about the end of their relationship began to circulate on social media. According to Henson, the couple couldn’t get on the same page with their wants and desires for the relationship, so after being engaged for two years, they decided to split up.

Henson, who frequently advocates for mental health, stated that while in therapy and working through her own trauma, she realized it was critical for her and Hayden to “make ourselves happy to make each other happy,” noting that neither of them had been fulfilled in the relationship investment due to their proclivity to rely heavily on each other for happiness.
