Taraji’s Private Love Life Comes to Light
What makes this announcement even more special is that Taraji has always been incredibly private about her personal life. As a single mother of one, she’s kept her romantic relationships under wraps for years. In fact, she didn’t publicly confirm her relationship with Kelvin until December 2017, long after they had started dating. Taraji has always been one to keep her personal life separate from her public persona, and we can respect that.
In an interview with Essence’s podcast “Yes, Girl!”, she opened up about her decision to keep things private. “I’m not the type to blast my personal business. But, you know, I think that’s important for people to know. I’m happy. I’m very very happy. I just am,” she revealed. It’s clear that Taraji values her privacy, but we’re thrilled she decided to share this major milestone with her fans.
What’s Next for the Happy Couple?
While Taraji and Kelvin haven’t announced a formal wedding date yet, we’re all rooting for them as they plan their special day. The couple seems genuinely happy, and it’s hard not to get swept up in their joy. Taraji’s excitement is contagious, and that engagement ring? Absolutely stunning! We’re sure the wedding will be just as magical as their love story.
