Taraji P. Henson had a dreamlike 2014, the kind of year that actors would sell their own mothers into bondage for. She starred in two consecutive No. 1 hit movies, No Good Deed and Think Like a Man Too, and then put the finishing touches on Fox’s cultural phenomenon of a TV show, “Empire,” which has shattered Nielsen ratings records
The spotlight has cast a bright glow on all of the cast members, most particularly on Henson, which allows her to fully floss her vast acting range as well as Cookie Lyon’s eye-popping fashion styles. 
So much attention is being paid to the Baby Boy breakout that chatter has picked up about her love life. We’re not sure who she’s dating now but we have a good idea of the A-list actors she’s been romantically linked to in the past — even the ones she denies existed.
Tyrese Gibson: The chemistry, not to mention the sex scenes in Baby Boy were so raw that folk automatically assumed the two had dated for years. But she recently told the press that she and Gibson were never and item.
“Not all all – ever. I promise you. If I did I would tell [you]. First of all, I am a horrible liar, these big ole’ eyes will tell on me. Oh gosh. I can’t lie. If Tyrese and I crossed that line the love wouldn’t be there. The chemistry wouldn’t be there because Taraji and Tyrese did it.”
Hill Harper: April 2002 – October 2005
Common: April 2005 – February 2007
“Okay I’ll tell you the truth, Common and I did date.”
Lamar Odom: December 2008 – August 2009
Multiple media reports have it that Odom dated Henson just prior to meeting, and marrying, Khloe Kardashian in 2009. Odom and Henson were seen together at that year’s Oscars after party when Henson was nominated for an Academy Award for The Curious Case of Benjamin Button.
Drake: June 2010
Rumor has it that the rapper dated the actress for a brief spell, but it has not been confirmed, except for a few photos the two took together.
