(EXCLUSIVE) Details On Erykah Badu’s Mystery Boyfriend, Carl Jones

Erykah Badu and her man, Carl Jones, have gone public. And by public, we mean confirmed their relationship on social media to the public. This week, Carl posted a photo with Badu, writing the caption:

When she’s your love, your best friend, your creative partner, your nigga, your…

Badu RT’d the cute photo, with the caption:

…your shrink, your cook, your barber, your belly dancer…

So what’s the tea? Insiders tell theJasmineBRAND.com exclusively that this relationship isn’t new at all. In fact, both Carl and Badu have been tweeting each other for awhile, but it went unnoticed.

A source tells us,

They’ve been together for years. Their relationship actually ended his marriage.

We’re told that Carl and his then wife worked on animated series, Black Dynamite together. Our source claims that Badu came on the show to do voice-over work for the series and that’s when she met Carl. We hear that Carl immediately fell for Badu. We’re unsure if that’s what ended Carl’s marriage, but immediately thereafter, he and Badu allegedly began dating.

Carl is a producer and actor, known for The Boondocks (2005), Freaknik: The Musical (2010) and Black Dynamite (2011). Anywho — we love, love so congrats to them!
