‘I’ve Seen a Whole Other Side of Apryl’: Fans Love Apryl Jones’ Newfound Happiness with Taye Diggs

It’s been a few weeks since Apryl Jones and Taye Diggs confirmed their budding romance on social media. The duo has become one of the most popular couples on Instagram and TikTok.

The reality star recently shared the latest video of the two hitting their wacky moves on the dance floor. “Dance with me,” wrote Jones in the caption Wednesday, March 30.

Fans in the comments noticed how genuinely happy Jones appears to be in her new relationship, including one person who said, “I so love this for you.” Here’s what others had to say.

“Maaannn, y’all everything together.”

“I’m glad God bless[ed] you with someone like you, that you can enjoy life with and have fun with. You guys are a good couple.”

“Glad to see you happy.”

“Love you two as a couple. Yall transmit the love. God bless from Costa Rica.”

“[You] guys are so dope I’m glad [you] found that someone to balance [you] out. @apryljones, it was worth the wait.”

The video ended up being reposted on The Shade Room’s Instagram page, where others brought up the father of Jones’ two children, R&B singer Omarion. The former “Love & Hip Hop: Hollywood” couple, which split in 2016, later went through a messy custody battle.

One person wrote, “Lmao Omarion about to ask for child support.”

Meanwhile, others expressed their excitement over seeing Jones laugh with someone who truly makes her happy. 

One individual said, “That’s what a relationship should be, having fun with your significant other like they are your best friend.” Another said, “I’ve seen a whole other side of Apryl. She seems so happy now.”

Noting Jones and Diggs’ similar bubbly personalities, a third person wrote, “They match each other’s personality. Good to see her happy.”

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.
