‘Y’all Made Me Do This’: Apryl Jones and Taye Diggs Reveal the New Addition to Their Family Following Pregnancy Speculation

Apryl Jones and Taye Diggs revealed that they have officially taken the next step in their relationship while also dismissing pregnancy rumors. 

Jones and Diggs’ storybook romance began last December after the pair were spotted attending a party together. The couple would ultimately confirm their relationship in February 2022 after Jones declared her love for the actor in an Instagram post.

Although it is unclear when and how the pregnancy rumors started, Jones jokingly shared in an Instagram post on Nov. 3 that it was time to address it.

The 35-year-old said, “Okay, so I didn’t want to come on here and have this conversation. I feel like I should be private about what it is I have going on in my life… I mean obviously like you guys have been asking me, ‘am I expecting?’ ‘Am I expecting Apryl?’ ‘Are you pregnant?’ And it’s like, what do I have to tell you guys like this.”

Jones continued as Diggs appeared from the behind the reality star with the couple’s new dog. “I didn’t want to have to tell you guys that yes, yeah I was and meet her. This is Roxie,” she said. “All that bloat and all those videos that you guys asked me if I was pregnant. This is the reason why. Meet our baby.”

The clip wrapped up with Diggs giving Jones multiple kisses on her face and showing off Roxie. In addition to the upload, Jones wrote in the caption, “And y’all made me do this!” As fans viewed the video, Many expressed how beautiful the dog was.

“I love these two together. That puppy makes it better.”

“Awwwww cute but why you play like that?”

“Y’all are so stupid bruh. She is beautiful.”

“Beautiful I’ve never seen a dog with such beautiful eyes I love you guys together.”

In the past, Jones revealed the sole reason why she couldn’t envision herself having any more children was because she didn’t want “another baby daddy.” Jones has two kids with singer and actor Omarion. The pair share a son, Megaa Grandberry, and a daughter, A’mei Grandberry. 

Jones said in a 2020 interview with BCK Online, “More so than anything, I just don’t want another baby daddy. That’s the God honest truth. I just don’t want to have to deal with someone else and then my kids are getting older and I like that.

Diggs also has a child he shares with his ex-wife actress Idina Menzel.

Despite Jones past remarks, it is unclear if Jones has changed her mind about wanting more children. 

Democracy needs journalism it can trust.

This election season, the stakes are higher than usual — and so is the pressure on newsrooms to soften their coverage, stay quiet, or just disappear. Independent reporting, the kind that answers to readers instead of advertisers or political pressure, matters more in a moment like this, not less.

For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed independent and reader-funded. We have no corporate owner and no shareholders telling us what to cover or how to cover it. That independence is also our biggest vulnerability: nothing protects it except readers choosing to fund it directly.

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 in a moment like this, it's rarely the independent, reader-funded ones 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.
