In an interview with Extra, film and television star Taraji P. Henson dished on the details of how her fiancé, Kelvin Hayden, popped the question this past weekend.
“I already knew he was going to Dubai to get my ring,” Henson said. “ I knew, I just didn’t know when he was going to pop the question. To be quite honest, I allowed it to be a surprise – because I could have found out if I wanted to!”
Even knowing that it was coming at some point, the proposal itself caught Henson completely by surprise.
“He takes me where we had our first date, I didn’t put that together,” Henson said. “I didn’t put it together until we went into the party room after we ate, and I saw a violinist, because he was trying to say it was his friend’s birthday – which it was, on Friday. ‘Oh, Ronald’s gonna have a little get-together in the back room.’ And I was like, ‘Aw, that’s perfect. We’ll already be there. ‘I go back there, and I go, ‘Ronald’s not into violins, what’s going on here?’ And as I’m putting the dots together, I turn around, he’s on his knee and then the river of tears just started, and my lashes ended up on the floor.”
