Taraji P. Henson confirmed her relationship with long-time boyfriend, Kelvin Hayden, late last year. By May, the What Men Want star was an engaged woman, recently revealing on The Tonight Show With Jimmy Fallon that she plans to make things official next summer.

β€œI’m always working so we have a movie that I’m filming first but once we get the dates settled, it will definitely be next summer,” Henson shared. β€œBut we just don’t know if it’s the end of June or the early part of July.”

The couple also want something “small” and “very private” with a minimal amount of press.

Henson has been dating the former NFL star since 2015, saying β€œyes” to his Mother’s Day proposal four months ago. The Empire actress shared the happy news on Instagram.

β€œI said yes y’all!!! He started with the Cartier love bracelet BUT that was my #Mothersday gift and then he dropped to his knee and I almost passed out!!! ?????#sheisofficiallyoffthemarket and she is sooooooooooooo HAPPY!!!!!!”
