“I’m devoted to the Black man, y’all. I simply turned 50 and I haven’t stated it but, but it surely didn’t work out,” Taraji said about engagement to Kelvin.
“I attempted, I used to be like, ‘Let’s do the remedy factor.’ However, if you happen to’re each not on the identical web page with that then you definitely really feel such as you’re taking it on yourself, and that’s not a good place for anyone to play in a relationship.”

“My happiness isn’t his duty and his happiness isn’t mine. We have now to first depend on how one can make ourselves pleased to make one another pleased. So, when one particular person is taking up the burden of the whole relationship, it’s by no means going to work.

“It’s important to nonetheless get up for yourself and be there for your self but it surely’s onerous to do if the opposite particular person isn’t doing that half both.”

Taraji and Hayden were set to tie the knot in June but postponed their nuptials due to the pandemic.
