Tiffany Haddish Confirms She’s Still Ready to Carry Jason Lee’s Child

Tiffany Haddish is not shutting down the idea of having a baby anytime soon.

Haddish, 45, exclusively spoke with Us Weekly on Tuesday, October 28, at the 2025 PAC NYC ICONS of CULTURE Gala at the Perelman Performing Arts Center in New York. The comedian and actress told Us about the baby “agreement” she has with her “gay homeboy” Jason Lee.

“We have this whole agreement [that] when he wants to have a baby or whatever, I’m going to carry the baby,” Haddish told Us. “I’ve always been saying to him, let’s have a baby. Let’s have a baby.”

Haddish and Lee, 47, sent the internet into a frenzy back in August when the two shared a photo on Instagram of them posing with an infant. The post, which now has over 246,000 likes and 4,000 comments, was captioned: “Cats out the bag ❤️.” Many fans and fellow celebrities were left wondering what this meant for the duo.

Who Is Jason Lee? Meet the Podcaster Friends With Tiffany Haddish

Haddish was married to William Stewart from 2008 until she filed for divorce in 2011. The divorce was finalized two years later. Haddish dated rapper Common from 2020 to 2021 after they met on the set of action-comedy The Kitchen, in which they starred alongside Elisabeth Moss, Domhnall Gleeson, Margo Martindale and more.

Haddish told The Washington Post in 2023 that Common, 53, was her “healthiest” relationship, despite him breaking up with her over the phone.

“[It was] the healthiest, the funnest [sic] relationship I’ve ever had,” Haddish shared in the interview with The Post. “It’s where I felt safest out of all the relationships I’ve ever had.”

In May 2024 Haddish spoke about her dating preferences on Dax Shepard’s “Armchair Expert” podcast.

“I don’t think I’ll ever f*** a movie star. Ever,” Haddish said. “I fed an entertainer. I don’t think I’ll ever do that again. I think I’ll f one again, but never in a relationship.”

Haddish told Us that a future partner needs to have a “good credit score,” and also be an “excellent communicator.”

Tiffany Haddish’s Ups and Downs Through the Years

“They need to have an EIN [Employer Identification Number]. I need to know that they know how to handle multiple personalities at one time,” Haddish said. “So that’s why I need them to have an EIN with employees and know how to motivate people to move forward to do great things. Cause that’s what I’m going to need.”

Haddish also provided recent insight on what else she’s looking for in future relationships in the trailer for her new Peacock series, Tiffany Haddish Goes Off. In the unscripted series, which is set to premiere on Thursday, November 13, Haddish and three of her childhood friends travel throughout Africa on the ultimate girls trip.

In the trailer, one of Haddish’s friends asks her, “What would you want your man to call you?” To which Haddish responds: “Empress of the universe.”

Inspired by the 2017 film Girls Trip, which starred Haddish alongside, Regina Hall, Queen Latifah and Jada Pinkett Smith, the six-episode docuseries seems to include heartwarming moments between Haddish and her girlfriends, Selena Martin, Shermona Long and Sparkle Clark, as well as a tease to a potential wedding ceremony with Haddish upfront and center.

What Happened to Elaine Hendrix? Inside Her Car Accident and ‘DWTS’ Injury

Elaine Hendrix has been acting since the ‘90s — but it wasn’t always her main career path. When the actress was injured in a 1992 car accident, her dance career came to a halt and she was forced to change course.

“I believe that everything happens for a reason and it pushed me in this direction that completely worked out, thankfully,” Hendrix said with a laugh during a July 2016 interview with the Huffington Post, reflecting on why she chose to jump into acting headfirst.

It’s been more than three decades since Hendrix was hit by a car riding her bike, but her accident still haunts her. In fact, during season 34 of Dancing With the Stars, Hendrix revealed that the aftermath of the crash makes it harder to compete.

While pushing past her physical limits on the ABC competition series, Hendrix was hospitalized for an unrelated injury in October, causing fans to worry. However, Hendrix was given the green light to continue on her DWTS journey beginning with the Tuesday, November 4, episode.

Inside Elaine’s 1992 Car Accident

“I had just come to Los Angeles to begin my professional career and very soon after moving here I was riding my bike and got hit by a car,” Hendrix told the Huffington Post in July 2016, noting that one moment “changed everything for me.”

During her September DWTS opening package, Hendrix revealed she is “really lucky” that she “walked away” from the accident but didn’t expand further.

How Did Her Career Change After the Accident?

The Parent Trap star told the Huffington Post in July 2016 that she began her career as a “classically trained dancer in modern and contemporary jazz.” Following her accident, Hendrix said, “Dance became something that was very painful to do, so it just pushed me more in the direction of acting.”

Hendrix recalled booking a few guest starring roles before landing her first series. “That’s when I stopped dancing professionally but I never stopped dancing altogether,” she told the outlet. “It’s just that whenever I dance I need to be prepared for the fact that I will be really sore and can’t quite do the things I used to do, but that’s OK.”

How Has Elaine’s Accident Affected Her ‘DWTS’ Run?

Hendrix revealed during an October episode of Dancing With the Stars that following her ‘90s car accident, a titanium joint was placed in her right foot. She said during Wicked Night that the joint “renders half my foot unusable.”

“Every week, my body shifts into a new pain spot, but I just don’t want to let it stop me,” the actress explained during the show package. “I know my determination is going to win it, just getting there is quite a journey.”

Why Was Elaine Hospitalized on ‘DWTS’ Season 34?

During rehearsals for Halloween Week in October, Hendrix was rushed to the hospital after experiencing pain in her ribs. The contestant later revealed via her Instagram that she injured her ribs during her “Defying Gravity” performance one week prior and they “just seized up” during practice.

“I couldn’t move. They brought me to the hospital,” Hendrix said in the Tuesday, October 28, video. “The doctor has said that with a day or two of rest, I should be able to continue and that’s exactly what I want to do. I want to dance, I want to keep doing this.”

Hendrix’s dance partner, Alan Bersten, explained during the October 28 episode that while they were working on their Argentine tango, “Elaine kind of froze and said she can’t move and she can’t breathe, and something happened with her rib.”

He noted she was in “so much pain” and therefore he had no idea if they would dance that evening. The pair did not perform and were instead judged on their practice routine.

Will Elaine Be Back on ‘DWTS’?

Despite missing Halloween Night, Hendrix and Bersten scored 8s across the board from the judges on October 28. With fans’ votes, they were saved from elimination. Hendrix’s doctors, meanwhile, cleared her to continue on in the competition.

“You guys voted, we are going to be safe. We got another dance to [perform],” Bersten confirmed during a TikTok Live following the episode. “We’re going to take it easy but we will be back for the show. We will take this week easy.”
