'Empire’ Star Taraji P. Henson Dating Kelvin Hayden? Couple Spotted Hugging At Super Bowl

The rumors about Taraji P. Henson Empire dating former Indianapolis Colts player Kelvin Hayden continue to persist despite the "Empire" actress denying the report.

Reportedly, the rumor flared up when the BET best actress was spotted hand-in-hand with the NFL player Hayden in Miami on Dec. 28.

Just this month, the couple was again captured together at Super Bowl where they were allegedly hugging and getting cozy in the NFL suite, as revealed by ET.

The rumor was first reported by Us Magazine which claimed to have talked to an eyewitness who claimed that, "they were affectionate" the night before they were spotted in Miami Beach.

Taraji P. Henson and Kelvin Hayden reportedly went on a dinner date at Prime 112, the source alleged.

The "Empire" actress has been known to keep her relationships private so it's natural for the tabloids to feast on the rumor that Taraji P. Henson is dating Kelvin Hayden.

But an article from Love B Scott claimed that if Kelvin Hayden was indeed dating Taraji P. Henson, then he's cheating on several other women.

"My friend has been in a relationship with Kelvin FOR 8 years and she lives in Chi-town," an alleged friend of Kelvin Hayden's girlfriend alleged. "Oh and WE have receipts. They went to Costa Rica not too long ago, before that they went to Europe! She just posted a pic of him 3 weeks ago on IG! We even have video proof!"

However, "Empire" actress Taraji P. Henson was quick to distance herself from all the dating rumors involving Kelvin Hayden.

The 45-year-old actress has a 20-year-old son, Marcel. His father, William Lamar Johnson, was murdered in 1997.

Wendy William actually asked "Empire" actress Taraji P. Henson to verify the dating rumors with Kelvin Hayden.

She replied, "I have no idea," as relayed by People Magazine. "Yeah, you can't believe everything you read. Until you hear it from me, it's false."
