It looks like Erykah Badu and the man in her life are getting pretty serious. The “Bag Lady” singer sparked engagement rumors to 27-year-old artist JaRon Adkison after she shared a sweet message along with a photo dump that included a photo of the couple wearing matching rings.


“Solar Eclipse Dump. Making room for many many many more memories,” Erykah wrote.

“Right now , Moon covers the suns eyes forcing it to use other forms of vision. (Closes Eyes) I see you with my heart. I see you with my gut. Here’s to my GUY ✨& Setting intentions, Breathing easy, moving in unison, finely blended family harmonics. Thank you . Thank you . Thank you . Happy to be here on this school called earth.. with you . ❤️ @jaronthesecret(family first 🤲🏾)."

The last photo in the carousel showed the couple sporting green fabric-made rings that resembled an engagement ring and band.

While neither one of them officially announced their engagement, fans believed the photo was all they needed to see to believe that the beloved singer was engaged. Fans and celebs like Summer Walker and Taraji P. Henson congratulated the couple and sent well wishes.

It’s unknown when the couple began dating, but Erykah, who turned 50 in February, began sharing images with JaRon, who goes by JaRon the Secret, back in October. However, the two were spotted together in August in Martha’s Vineyard after the singer attended former President Barack Obama’s 60th birthday party.

According to his Instagram bio, JaRon is an artist, songwriter, music producer, audio engineer, and author who hails from Dallas, Texas. He also recently co-created a music playlist with Erykah for Headspace.

While there’s no known prior dating history on JaRon, Erykah has been romantically linked to André 3000, Common, Jay Electronica, The D.O.C., and The Boondocks producer Carl Jones.

The “Honey” singer has three kids, Seven, 24, Puma, 17, and Mars, 12.

I don’t know what it is about me when it comes to television (or web) series. Usually, I won’t watch them when they’re airing in “real time;” it’ll be a couple of years later, and then I’ll binge-watch and become a fan. Such was the case withChef Julian (the real ones know). And while watching it, someone who I found to be so pretty was the main character’s forever-on-again-off-again girlfriend Mo’. Real name? Javicia Leslie. If you’re not familiar with her, on one of the episodes, Julian jokes about her resembling Tatiana Ali — and he would be correct.

Anyway, it’s always cool to see people rise in their craft. A couple of years ago, Javicia made history as the first Black woman to play one of the characters of the DC Universe (Batwoman, to be exact). And why is she relevant to this particular article? It’s basically because, a couple of years before that, she had the lead in a cute film entitledAlways a Bridesmaid. On some levels, she even inspired the decision to write this piece.
