At 54, Taraji P Henson FINALLY Exposes Common & Confirm All Rumors!

For years, Common—known for his poetic lyrics and calm demeanor—has been seen as the ideal gentleman in Hollywood, often dating strong, successful women like Erykah Badu, Serena Williams, Angela Rye, Tiffany Haddish, and Taraji P. Henson.

Each relationship seemed serious, but always ended quietly and without public drama, leaving people to wonder what really went wrong.

The story that stands out most is Taraji P. Henson’s. Back in 2005, as Taraji was still building her career, she quietly began dating Common. Their relationship was kept low-key, but the chemistry was clear, especially when Taraji appeared in Common’s music video “Testify.”

Both families were involved; Common’s mother adored Taraji, and Taraji introduced Common to her young son, Marcel. Marcel bonded with Common, seeing him as a father figure. For a while, Taraji believed she had found something real, stable, and lasting.
