Taraji P. Henson

Taraji P. Henson was still working on her degree at Howard University when she became pregnant with her child, Marcell Johnson. With only $700 borrowed money in hand, the actress and her baby moved to Los Angeles to pursue her dreams as an actress. Between acting and looking after a child, Henson said they had done their best, and she knew they could do it all.

However, knowing the hardships of being a single parent, she said she would never wish it even on her worst enemy. Anyhow, while raising her son, Henson revealed she never sheltered Johnson so that he could be prepared for the problems that would come his way. Talking about her own love life, the Empire star revealed she would only get married if she had already found someone who she truly loved. Henson also wanted her son to see the kind of real love that she yearned for.
