McCrary then added more flames to the dating rumors by sharing a video describing the importance of feeling special in a relationship. He said while tagging Hart’s profile name, “Anybody that lie to you and tell you they don’t need to feel special, you know uh, question them. Because I’mma tell you it sure does feel good when people that you love, love you back. Thank you [for] the birthday love.” 

Although the two parties have not commented on the recent reports, The Neighborhood Talk claimed that Hart and McCrary have been an item for a couple of months after meeting on the set of their new film “Sebastian.”

Many fans expressed how shocked they were when they responded to Hart’s post.  

“Wait yall a couple couple?!!!”

“Well I’ll be dam if it ain’t Eddie Winslow 😂.”

“Wait…What…Wasn’t Expecting That.”

“Partner how?😮😍.”

“Say what now huh?”

Both Hart and McCrary have been in high-profile relationships in the past. Hart was formerly married to comedian Kevin Hart from 2003-2011, with whom she shares two children, daughter Heaven Hart, 16, and 13-year-old son Hendrix Hart.

As for McCrary, the actor has been married three times. He was previously married to actress Juliette Vann from 2005 to 2006. His second marriage to video vixen Karrine Steffans lasted for two years until the former couple finalized their divorce in 2011. McCrary married his third wife Tammy Brawner — with whom he shares a daughter — in 2014, and three years later in 2017 Brawner filed for divorce.

Independent journalism doesn't fund itself.

We hope this story was worth your time. For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed Black-owned and independently run. We didn't get here by waiting on ad budgets that were never built to prioritize us. Our readers did that.

Corporate support for Black media has always been thin. Outlets like ours get roughly 1% of the $170 billion spent on U.S. advertising each year, and that margin is shrinking further as advertisers walk back the DEI-linked commitments they made in 2020. That's the backdrop. It's not why we're asking.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
