Taraji P. Henson looked a complete knockout as she lived it up during a romantic Valentine’s weekend with her fiancé Kelvin Hayden. The 49-year-old actress slipped into a daring black bejeweled swimsuit and enjoyed some quality time with Kelvin — who she is set to wed on April 4 — at Nobu Hotel Los Cabos. The lovebirds took a break from freezing cold Chicago where she is shooting the spin-off to her hit show Empire.   The Oscar-winning actress and retired NFL player arrived at their private ocean view suite where they were welcomed with a Nobu signature cocktail and specially prepared dessert to celebrate the Valentine’s Day weekend. The couple kicked off their lovers’ escape with a romantic boat tour of the famous Cabo San Lucas Arch where they  dined on lobster, oysters and chocolate covered strawberries as they toasted to their upcoming nuptials. After their sunset cruise, the two enjoyed a candlelit dinner at Nobu Restaurant where they dined on signature dishes such as Salmon tartare with caviar, Octopus Tiradito, Crispy Rice with Spicy Tuna, miso black cod and yellowtail sashimi to name a few. Taraji took to her Instagram to show off  her heart shaped strawberry that she fed to her fiancé. The next day the loving couple started their morning with freshly prepared breakfast from Malibu Farm before retreating to the adults only infinity pool. The duo spent the day lounging by the pool with friends and graciously taking photos with fans. Generous Taraji even bought the whole pool a round of cocktails. In the early afternoon they headed to Esencia Spa where they took advantage of the outdoor hydrotherapy garden, experiential shower, cabana jacuzzi and hydrotherapy pool before they went in for their couple’s massage and facials. Kelvin was also spotted working out of the state-of-the-art gym while Taraji was snapping pictures to commemorate her first time at Nobu Hotel Los Cabos. Nobu Restaurant pulled out all the stops for their next dinner date w

Asian Doll, 24, breaks down in tears talking about the death of rapper King Von in an upcoming episode of Peace of Mind with Taraji. In a heartbreaking preview EXCLUSIVELY obtained by HollywoodLife, Asian opens up to actress Taraji P. Henson about the grief she has felt ever since the 26-year-old was gunned down outside an Atlanta nightclub in November 2020.

“My whole world just crashed,” says Asian, whose real name is Misharron Allen. “I had never felt a feeling like that. It’s like I was just broken.” In the clip below, the heartbroken rapper also admits that, at the time of his passing, she and King Von were no longer on good terms. “I want to say like six days before he passed away, we had broken up and I was real hard on him. I was not trying to see him. I did not want to see him at all,” she says.

In the moving clip, Taraji, 50, comforts Asian, telling her that it’s healthy to grieve her loss. “It is OK to feel. You loved that man and he died suddenly,” she says. “He was taken in a senseless murder. You know that’s not something you just push through and try to cope with.”

Asian also admits that she never expected King Von (who was born Dayvon Bennett and can be seen in her tweet below) to die that way. “Yeah, especially I would never think that… nah, it’s impossible for Von to ever…go out how he did. I just never would think like ever…” she says before admitting that he was her “first love” and “first real boyfriend.”

“It was more like a soulmate,” she says. “It’s like dang I met you before, like how I feel so connected to you?”

Asian has been publicly mourning her ex ever since he was killed. “I’ll never be the same. I just hope you visit me in all my dreams. I just wanna sleep so I can picture us again. I just wanna close my eyes & never open then [sic] again… Von I’m gone,” she tweeted on Nov. 6, 2020, the day he died.

“My heart is gone,” she added in another tweet, saying that she was an “empty soul in a human body” and professing that she’d “rather die” than “feel this pain.”

The tragic, sudden loss of a loved one is something that Taraji can relate to as her son Marcel’s father – William Lamar Johnson – was murdered in 2003, in an incident reported by The Washington Post at the time.

Taraji, who has spoken openly about her mental health, has been using her new Facebook Watch show, Peace of Mind with Taraji, as a platform to discuss therapy and processing feelings of sadness and grief. During a Dec. 23 episode the former Empire star even confessed that she thought about killing herself during the COVID-19 pandemic.

“I felt myself withdrawing,” she admitted. Asian Doll’s full interview with Taraji goes live on Facebook Watch on Jan. 4 at 9am PT/12pm ET.
