‘Sis Pulling Out All the Heavy Hitters’: Apryl Jones and Taye Diggs Spark Dating Rumors After They Attended a Party Together

Apryl Jones is out with the old and in with the new … man, that is.

The “Love and Hip Hop” star was seen getting out of a vehicle with Taye Diggs and accompanying him to Jennifer Klein’s Christmas party. In photos and videos obtained by The Hollywood Fix, Diggs is seen extending his hand inside to help Jones get out.

She wearing a long-sleeved blue dress with a thigh-high split. Diggs’ look featured khaki pants with horses on them, a white rolled-up dress shirt, a floral tie, and a tan hat. While they didn’t appear to be holding hands or showing any signs of intimacy, both stars were all smiles walking into the party together.

According to Just Jared, some eyewitnesses claimed the two “danced the night away on the outdoor dance floor.”

“The Best Man” actor and Jones have both had their fair share of ups and downs in relationships. Diggs, 50, was married to “Frozen” star Idina Menzel for 11 years before the two called it quits in 2014. They share a son. As for Jones, her relationships, which have been televised on VH,1 have been a little more complicated.

She was introduced on “Love and Hip Hop” as B2K member Omarion’s partner and the mother of his two children. But a sudden breakup between the two led Jones to be in a relationship with Omarion’s group mate Lil Fizz. The relationship was disapproved of by many fans who called Jones out for being messy and Lil Fizz out for what they saw as him backstabbing Omarion.

In January 2020, Lil Fizz and Jones broke up, and this summer dating rumors sparked between Jones and rapper-entrepreneur Dr. Dre after the two were seen out together. Neither addressed the rumors much, so it was never confirmed whether they actually dated.

Fans spoke on Jones and Diggs’ recent outing with many praising Jones for her dating choices. “Sis pulling heavy hitters that’s for sure.” Someone else joked, “One thing with April, she gonna get her a rich man.” Another said, “Aye she been upgrading the hell out of ha N-ggas lol each one better lol.”

Independent journalism still matters.

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.

The wider picture isn't any steadier. Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under, it's rarely the ones built to center a Black perspective from the ground up that get to stick around.

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.
