Everyone’s favorite new celebrity couple Taye Diggs and Apryl Jones got candid about how they met and their whirlwind romance. The couple revealed that they first connected on Instagram, how they were under the influence of shrooms the first time they had sex, their viral videos, and the possibility of moving in together and getting married.
From nervous beginnings to mind-altering experiences, Taye Diggs and Apryl Jones’ love story is one for the books.
The celeb couple recently made an appearance on the “Unconsciously Coupled” podcast with Erinn and Oliver Hudson (son of actress Goldie Hawn), and they spilled all the details about how they met, their insane first time having sex, and the possibility of marriage.
When asked how they met, the “Best Man: Final Chapters” star admitted that he stumbled upon Apryl Jones’ Instagram profile and was instantly smitten. He said he thought he could never have someone like her, but he took a chance and sent her a message telling her she was hilarious. Apryl responded, and they hit it off right away.
The couple didn’t see each other in person for a while due to Apryl’s work commitments in Atlanta, and when they finally had their first date at Pasha’s, Taye admitted to being nervous. Apryl also shared that they didn’t touch each other for months, but eventually, she had to take the lead and ask him to kiss her.
Their relationship hit a milestone when Apryl took Taye to a Christmas party hosted by a friend, and she held the room with her presence. Even celebrities like Gabrielle Union and Dwyane Wade came up to talk to her, and Taye was intimidated by her confidence.
However, Taye admitted that he feels balanced with Apryl and needs someone to keep him occupied. He said that he feels like he’s boxing above his weight, but Apryl makes him feel like he’s winning.
Things got interesting when the male host asked Taye if he was worried about his penis. Taye initially said he wasn’t, but he later revealed that a month into dating, he had a conversation with Apryl about her past that made him a little nervous. He joked about it, but he admitted that he was scared to tell her that Apryl’s actions reminded him of what his mom used to do to him as a kid.
The “All American” star also shared a story about his psychic friend randomly calling him while he was at Apryl’s house dancing. She said, “she’s the one,” and then added “you’re dating someone, right?” The psychic told Taye she was with his mom (who died in 2019 after a cancer battle) in that moment and that she was painting a picture of Taye and Apryl. Taye wondered if it was his mom coming through because Apryl would do things that his mom used to do to him. For example, Apryl would kiss him on his head and put her finger nails on his finger nails like his mom did.
The couple also revealed that their first time having sex was on New Year’s night in Mexico, and they were under the influence of shrooms!
During the interview, they were asked about the moment they first got intimate, from the build-up to the actual act itself. Apryl shared that they were both quite apprehensive initially, but it was she who made the first move by subtly initiating physical contact. Interestingly, their first night spent together nothing went down.
However, things took an unexpected turn on New Year’s night. They decided to try shrooms, and after an intense trip, they both woke up the next morning and realized that they had taken their relationship to the next level.
“And the night was just so awesome…and then we woke up and was like, ‘Guess we’re together, huh?'” Apryl said before bursting into laughter.
Take a listen below:
Eventually, they did a shroom ceremony with Apryl’s midwife, and they both realized that they knew each other in past lives and were meant to do something together to help the world. This was before they ever did their first viral video together. The couple’s first viral video was recorded in New York City, and they continued to make more together. People in the comments would say, “this is genuine love,” and the couple couldn’t agree more.
The only challenge they face is finding alone time since they don’t live together yet. They’ve been looking at places to move in together, and Taye even hinted to his son, Walker, about wanting to marry Apryl. Walker’s response was simply “cool,” but Apryl shared that he’s a tough cookie. However, he loves her cooking, and she loves making him food, from stir-fry to grilled salmon and chicken.
In conclusion, Taye Diggs and Apryl Jones’ relationship has been a wild ride from the start, and they’re not afraid to share all the intimate details. Their story is a reminder that sometimes the best things in life come when you least expect them, and it’s always worth taking a chance on love.
