While Taraji didn’t speak on her relationship status at that time despite all the speculation, she’s now opening up about their status, confirming that they are no longer together.

The 50-year-old appeared on the ”Breakfast Club” where Taraji, host Charlamagne Tha God, Tracie Jade, and Jay Barnett discussed how trauma impacts intimate relationships. While sharing her experience, Taraji revealed that it “just didn’t work out” between her and Hayden.

She said she was “dedicated” to Hayden, but “I just turned 50 and I haven’t said it yet… but it didn’t work out.” She went on to say that “I tried. I was like ‘let’s do the therapy thing’ but if you’re both not on the same page with that then you feel like you’re taking it in on yourself; and that’s not a fair position for anybody in a relationship.” Check out the full clip below:
