Vivica A. Fox is still open to love.
For years, the actress’s private life has been a popular topic of conversation.
Fox, 62, has candidly spoken about what she wants in a man and the ex she will never forget.
In 2024, she had a viral moment after joking that she was accepting applications.
“I’m wanting to date, it’s just limited resources out there, right? Because I’m not getting on an app. I’m old-fashioned,” Fox said on “Today with Hoda and Jenna.”
She continued, “I want someone who’s going to be fun, who’s not intimidated by who and what I am, that likes to travel, and is gonna let me go shopping.”

Fox married singer Christopher “Sixx-Nine” Harvest in 1998 before divorcing in 2002.
In 2011, Fox accepted Atlanta club promoter Omar “Slimm” White’s marriage proposal. White was 19 years her junior. The couple dated for two years before calling it quits that same year.
According to The Matchmaking Company, 68 percent of Americans “believe relationships with a 10+ year age gap are more likely to experience challenges than similarly aged couples.”
The survey also found that only 22 percent of people would date a partner 6-10 years younger.
Only 2 percent of participants agreed that it was OK for women ages 60-69 to date a younger man with a large age gap.
“I’m a 63-year-old guy, and even I don’t blame these women. There are a lot of men, little boys, out there. Lazy, mentally unhinged, bitter, set in their ways,” said one detractor.
Another joked, “Sure, if he has plenty of money.”
A third perspective states, “Yeah sure in the short term in order to make them feel young and sexy again. But they’ll lose interest once they realize that the young guy can’t pay her bills.” A fourth person pointed out, “She still looking for Mr. right.”
Money wasn’t an issue for Fox’s most famous lover — 50 Cent, 51.
The unlikely pair dated briefly in 2003. The music and television mogul playfully flirted with the actress during his acceptance speech at the 2003 BET Awards.
“I’m just happy to be present with all of these beautiful people in here… I want to thank Vivica Fox for wearing that dress too,” he said.
Soon after they became a red carpet couple, the spark between them fizzled out as quickly as it lit.
The “Two Can Play That Game” star considers the G-Unit frontman the “love of my life” and even bragged he was her most compatible mate in the bedroom.
Her flattering recollections have never led to a romantic reunion. At times, her candor has sparked public exchanges of snarky remarks.
“I don’t hate her; it just happened 23 years ago,” he said during a 2025 appearance on the “Sherri” show.
“But I do like that she says nice things about me. I think that was like, you know how you go to the casino and you just hit the jackpot? I think it was where she was at, at that point, and I just — good timing,” he added.
Now it seems Father Time may once again be on Fox’s side.
She, along with Christie Brinkley, Margaret Cho, Caroline Rhea and Pebe Sebert, comprises the cast of Netflix’s season 2 of “The Later Daters.”
The reality series is executive produced by Michelle Obama via her and Barack Obama’s media company Higher Ground. New episodes begin Dec. 30.
The celebrity cast will explore dating with the guidance of dating coach Logan Ury.
The show’s longline reads, “Whether navigating the highs and heartbreaks of modern romance for the first time in years or getting a second chance at love, these women prove that finding a real connection has no expiration date.”
“The Later Lovers” marks Fox’s first foray into the dating show realm. She previously showcased her reality show chops on season 7 of “Celebrity Apprentice” in 2015.
