Taraji Opens Up With Wendy Williams, “Tyrese and I were virgins together.” + Drake’s Crush On Her

41 year old Taraji P. Henson made an appearance on the Wendy Williams Show yesterday. While she was there, of course, Wendy had to ask her about all that chemistry she has with Tyrese. See what Taraji had to say about her love life, Tyrese, and her relations with other celebrities.

On if there will be a sequel to “Baby Boy”:

“There will not be a ‘Baby Boy 2.’ You don’t need a ‘Baby Boy 2.’ What you need is Taraji and Tyrese on the screen again, and we are making that happen.[Baby Boy] is what kept our (her and Tyreese) relationship going so long. We were both virgins, no pun intended, together.”

On if she’s ever dated Tyreese:

“No, not at all. Ever. I promise you. If I did, I would tell you. I am a horrible liar. These big ol’ eyes would tell on me.”

On other celebs she is rumored to have dated:

“I will tell you the truth, Common and I did date. Drake was a friend. It was cute because I knew he liked me. And I kept looking at him like ‘if you were 10 years older, boy…’ But, no, I couldn’t. I mean, he’s seven years older than my son. Terrence (Howard) and I never ever [dated]. One thing is I don’t mix business with pleasure. I’m saying this to the young girls out there that want to get into the business: whatever you do in your private life should be just that, private. If you’re a hoe, be a hoe behind the scenes. Because if you’re having sex with [your co-stars], why would they want to work with you again? If Tyrese and I crossed that line, the love wouldn’t be there, the chemistry wouldn’t be there, because Taraji and Tyreese did it. Also I have a (17 year old) son who’s on the internet. And I have to be very sensitive. I don’t know what it’s like to be a child of a celebrity. Imagine the pressure he’s going through. And I’m pretty hot!”

Afterward, Taraji tweeted about how much fun she’d had on the show:
