‘Stop Saying Go Back with My Baby Daddy’: Apryl Jones Confirms Being In a ‘Really Great’ Space with Omarion Amid Taye Diggs Breakup Rumors

Apryl Jones has refuted any possibility of a romantic reunion between her and the father of her children, Omarion.

The “Love and Hip Hop: Hollywood” alum answered a few questions on Instagram Live earlier this week, and made sure people knew that she and the former B2K member were nothing short of platonic. 

In a clip shared on @livebitez Instagram page, Jones can be heard saying, “Stop saying go back with my baby daddy. Stop. Why can’t me and my baby daddy be on good terms?” 

She continued, “Like y’all just be trying it… Me and my baby daddy are good, we’re great. We’re actually phenomenal.” 

Another clip of Jones speaking on Omarion was obtained by @_TheyLiveAgain and showed her confirming that she and the “Post To Be” singer are finally in a “great” space.

“Me and the father of my kids are not together, no. We are in a really, we are in a really great place,” she said. “It was a long time coming.” Jones then noted that their focus is solely on their children. 

Jones and Omarion share two children: 9-year-old son Megaa Grandberry and 7-year-old daughter A’mei Grandberry. The former couple popped out as an item back in 2011 but soon split in 2016. 

Two years later, chaos erupted after rumors about Jones potentially dating Omarion’s bandmate Lil Fizz began circulating online. 

The following year, Fizz and the “Let Me Love” actress confirmed their romance, which created another load of controversy. However, their romance was cut short, and by 2020 they parted ways. 

As of recently, Jones has been in a romantic relationship with famous actor Taye Diggs. They confirmed their relationship in February 2022 after being spotted together at a party months prior. Though Jones and Diggs have racked up supporters who enjoy watching their comical videos, fans have voiced concerns regarding a possible breakup between the two. 

The last time social media users had the pleasure of seeing Jones and Diggs together was back in May. Since then, they have continued sharing silly content, just not by each other’s sides. 

While it is unclear where their relationship currently stands, Jones told fans that she and Diggs text all the time last month. However, her statement was soon challenged by her son Megaa, who accused her of not telling the truth. 

The child’s comment was enough information for social media users to come to the conclusion that the pair’s relationship was no more. 

To help rid them of any “Tarpryl” withdrawals, fans can watch Diggs and Jones in their new movie, “The Comeback,” on Peacoc.

The ABS Newsletter — Stories that matter, in your inbox.

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.
