Taraji P. Henson’s New Man is Allegedly Already Attached

*Taraji P. Henson has a new man and the love is on display.

According to ETonline, the “Empire” star and former Indianapolis Colts player Kelvin Hayden Jr. were spotted holding hands on the beach in Miami.

(Scroll down to see them together.)

The arrival of Hayden comes after Henson recently detailed her specifics regarding a relationship with the opposite sex.

“I want a man who is not caught up into what I do for a living. I’m not that girl on the screen. I’m none of those characters, I am me,” the 45-year-old Oscar nominee told ET. “I need safety somewhere to go where I don’t have to be Hollywood, where I can take my wig off and you gonna love me and say, ‘Baby, you are beautiful.’”

Taraji didn’t stop there!

“I need you to make me laugh,” she added. “You don’t have to cook but you can help me with cleaning. I need you to be a leader. A leader where I don’t have to be so strong all the time!”

Although this looks really good and it’s nice to see Henson involved in a certified romance after a great year of success playing Cookie on “Empire,” it looks like Hayden may be too good to be true. TheJasmineBrand references a letter from one of The Shade Room readers, who alleges the 32-year-old NFL free agent already has someone special in his life.

The following is the message the site received:

Dear TSR, A lot of hearts are getting broken tonight but it won’t be in vain. Women need to know about men like Kelvin. Me and MY friend were trying to understand why her man Kelvin was posted up in a pic with Taraji…but before we could reconcile what happened we see Kelvin had another girl other than Cookie claiming him on The Shade Room! My friend has been in a SOLID and seemingly happy relationship with Kelvin for 8 YEARS and she’s from Chi-town. Oh and WE have receipts. He took her to Costa Rica not too long ago, before that they went to Europe! She just posted a pic of him 3 weeks ago on IG!

At this time, no word has come from Henson or Hayden regarding the woman’s allegations.

The sight of Henson and Hayden together looks to be the exception to her comments about how her success affects her love life.

“I think the more successful you get, the more intimidated they get,” Henson told ET’s Kevin Fraser. “The more they pull away, because they feel like I am not approachable – or they are afraid to approach me.”

Nevertheless, Henson did admit that despite feeling too busy sometimes for a relationship she is “ready for it.”

“The person has to be willing to deal with my schedule. …[It’s] all over the place,” the entertainer said.

'Empire' star Taraji P. Henson spotted holding hands with the NFL's Kelvin Hayden

Looks like Cookie's got a new man: Taraji P. Henson may be dating football player Kelvin Hayden.

The bikini-clad "Empire" star was photographed Monday holding hands with the NFL player while vacationing in Miami, according to People. She wore a printed Pucci bikini and he wore red swim trunks during their stroll, as seen in paparazzi photos that hit the Web on Monday.

Hayden, 32, currently a free agent, has played for the Chicago Bears and Indianapolis Colts.

The single mom, 45, and Hayden had a romantic dinner date at Prime 112 on Sunday, Us Weekly said, with sources noting that they were "affectionate."

Neither camp has publicly confirmed the romance, and Henson, who was recently named USA Today's Entertainer of the Year, hasn't posted about her Miami getaway on social media.

Her rep did not immediately respond to The Times' request for comment.

The Emmy and Golden Globe-nominated star told Harper's Bazaar in August that she was single, but offered up what she looks for in a man.

"He is funny, has personality, he doesn't take himself too seriously," she said. "He needs to be confident in who he is, confident to let me be who I am. And let me shine, you know? My light is only going to enhance his light."

In January, the breakout star also lamented to Wendy Williams that men "don't court anymore."

"Take me out to dinner! Say you're gonna pick me up at a certain time! Dating should be an event, you know? You like the guy, so you want to get pretty for him, so you spend all day, and the spark [ignites]. Whatever happened to that?" 

Taraji P. Henson Dating NFL Star Kelvin Hayden: Empire’s Cookie Goes Public With New Beau!

Taraji P.Henson has a new boyfriend and the Empire star has been showing him off as they vacation in Miami. Henson is dating NFL star Kelvin Hayden. The new couple has been seen walking hand-in-hand on the beach and out to dinner together during the romantic trip. There is no doubt that 45-year-old Taraji is letting everyone know that she’s settled down. Henson looks very happy with her new hunk.

Taraji doesn’t seem to mind that her much younger man is basically unemployed right now. Kelvin Hayden used to play cornerback for the Indianapolis Colts and the Chicago Bears. The 32-year-old athlete is listed as a free agent right now. So instead of chasing a playoff spot in the race for the Super Bowl, Hayden is chasing his new girlfriend Taraji P. Henson around South Beach.

Taraji had a pretty amazing year – aside from a hiccup back in March when her 20-year-old son, Marcel, accused officers of racial profiling, which turned out to be untrue after Taraji got involved. Henson handled the situation with class, though, and apologized for herself and for her son.

The Empire star went on to be named the USA Today entertainer of the year. Everyone loves Taraji’s character Cookie Lyon in Empire and she certainly earned the title. Even Taraji admits she’s had a pretty amazing year.

The actress tweeted, “WOOOOOOOW!!!! Thank you @usatoday so honored!!! #WhatAYear #MoreToCome.” Was Taraji P. Henson hinting about her new romance in her tweet acknowledging the entertainer of the year honor? Just based on the sneak peek we got of Taraji and Kelvin together, he looks like a keeper.

Henson told Wendy Williams earlier this year that she wanted a real man to romance her. It’s unclear if Taraji was secretly dating Kelvin Hayden at the time of the interview or not, but it almost seems like she’s describing him. Taraji went on and on about the specifics in what characteristics would make her happy.

Maybe this is the one for Taraji, who is notoriously picky about whom she dates. Hayden does seem to make Taraji happy. If that pesky little detail about his employment doesn’t bother her, then we wish Henson the best with her new boyfriend.

Hailey Baldwin Is Justin Bieber’s Latest Fling — What Happened To Kourtney Kardashian?

Justin Bieber has been spotted looking cozy with Hailey Baldwin. Looks like the Biebs has officially moved on from Kourtney Kardashian.

The 21-year-old Canadian popstar has been sharing countless photos of himself with Hailey Baldwin in Anguilla. They’ve been seen on vacation with Bieber’s dad and his younger siblings. The Biebs has reportedly been hooking up with Kourtney Kardashian for the past four months, but she reportedly banned the singer’s name from being said on Christmas, according to a Life & Style magazine report.

Justin and Hailey first sparked dating rumors when they were seen taking this rather sexy and cozy photo together. But the singer shared a flirty video prior to sharing the steamy photo above, which shows him giving the model a wet willy. Justin captioned the cute vid, “She thought we were taking a photo.”

This isn’t the first time that the Biebs and Baldwin have sparked dating rumors. They previously sparked the dating rumors earlier this year. It was also around the same time that Bieber and Kendall Jenner were also sparking their own set of dating rumors, causing some gossip blogs to wonder if the three friends were involved in a threesome. But Baldwin slammed those nasty rumors on Twitter.

Hey @HollywoodLife I think u guys are absolutely disgusting. U should really learn to leave teenagers be and stop writing so much garbage.

— Hailey Baldwin (@haileybaldwin) May 13, 2015

In his latest interview with Billboard, Justin admitted that he dated Kendall although it was never serious, and that he is just “good friends” with Hailey. In fact, she is “one of my best friends in the entire world.” But that’s not all that Justin had to say about the blonde beauty. “She’s fricking awesome. She’s got the sweetest soul.”

But this sudden coziness between the friends is why Kendall asked Hailey to end Justin’s relationship with Kourtney.

“Kendall has been pressuring Hailey to talk to Justin about Kourtney, and how much drama it’s causing between her and Scott. Kendall thinks Kourtney and Scott still have a chance, but not as long as Justin’s in the picture. She’s hoping Hailey can knock some sense into his head.”

Fortunately for her, Hailey agrees. She’s now making it her personal mission to make the singer forget all about Kourtney, according to Hollywood Life‘s source.

“Hailey is doing her best to convince Justin that hooking up with Kourtney is not in his best interest. She’s been telling him that it would be one thing if Kourtney did not have any kids, but the fact that she has three young children should be taken seriously. She thinks Justin needs to take Kourtney’s kids’ feelings into consideration.”

Hailey Baldwin isn’t the only one who’s been making headlines for her romantic life. Her friend Kendall Jenner has also been away on a romantic vacation with One Direction’s Harry Styles. The famous exes were also spotted in Anguilla on Dec. 29, in the photos shared by E! News. Harry and Kendall first dated back in 2013, just months after his split from Taylor Swift. The exes have been spotted out together many times, but this is the first time the two looked like a couple.

It’s unclear whether or not Hailey and Kendall met up so that they could have romantic double dates on the island. It certainly should be an interesting New Year’s Eve vacation for these stars, especially since Taylor will be premiering her new video “Out of the Woods,” which is reportedly about her relationship with the British heartthrob.

Meanwhile, Taylor’s BFF (and Justin Bieber’s ex) Selena Gomez has been reportedly dating 1D’s Niall Horan. Can you keep up?

What are your thoughts on Justin Bieber and Hailey Baldwin? Do you think the two are just friends, or that they’re more than just friends? Sound off below in the comments section.

He added: 'When people say mean things about them, I get defensive and when it happens to me they get defensive.'

Last year, Hailey talked about Justin to E! News. She said: 'I've known him since I was so young - since I was like 13 - and we've just been good friends over the years.'

Just Jared's Best Nine Instagrams of 2015 Revealed!

Kourtney Kardashian's Nine Best Instagram Posts From 2015 Include Scott Disick, Kids

After nine years together, he at least made the top nine. Kourtney Kardashian shared her nine best Instagram posts from 2015 on Monday, December 28, and her ex Scott Disick was featured in one of the photos.

Kardashian, 36, posted her nine most liked Instagram photos and shared the same quote posted by her mom, Kris Jenner, on Sunday. "Whatever happened over this past year, be thankful for where it brought you," the eldest Kardashian daughter wrote, alongside the collage of her top pics. "Where you are is where you're meant to be."

2015's Babies of the Year

All of the reality star's most popular photos feature her three kids — Mason, 6, Penelope, 3, and Reign, 12 months — with Disick. "313,436,035 Likes to 672 posts in 2015," the Instagram statistic read, while Kourt added, "Thank you for your likes!” The social media tool is called the 2015 Best Nine, and it generates the statistics.

In the bottom left corner, however, is a snap of her ex partner embracing their oldest son, Mason. The photo of Disick was posted on his 32nd birthday on May 26. At the time, Kardashian accompanied the adorable father-son photo with a heartfelt message, garnering more than 1 million likes for that post alone. "Happy happy birthday to my handsome, hilarious, sweet soul mate," she wrote at the time.

Us Weekly confirmed in July that the parents of three had split after Disick was photographed cozying up to his ex-girlfriend Chloe Bartoli in the South of France. As witnessed in recent episodes of Keeping Up With the Kardashians, the moment devastated Kardashian and resulted in their breakup after nearly a decade together.

Kardashian has moved on with a steamy (and much younger!) hookup: Justin Bieber. Us Weekly exclusively revealed several weeks ago that Bieber, 21, has been boasting to pals about hooking up with the petite brunette, who is 15 years older.

“Oh, yeah, that’s definitely happening and has been for some time now,” one source told Us of Kardashian and Bieber's fling. “Every time Kourtney and Justin are together they’re extremely flirtatious. They text each other all the time.”

Disick checked into rehab this past fall and spent Thanksgiving with the Kardashian family. However, he wasn't featured in the famous brood's many social media snaps from Christmas, which was held at Kourtney's home in Calabasas, California.

Instead, he posted an image last week from his 2014 summer in the Hamptons with Khloé and Kourtney. "Always miss this hamptons view," he captioned the shot.
