No other explanation was given. Haddish and Jason had been longtime friends and collaborators, and often spoke about co-parenting.
More about Tiffany Haddish and Jason Lee
Recently, Haddish and Lee posted a picture with a baby and a stroller on Instagram. This picture went viral, prompting netizens to make assumptions. Some are assuming that Tiffany had a baby, while some assume that they have adopted a baby, and others believe that it could just be a prank.
Tiffany and Lee have been longtime friends, but neither of them has confirmed a relationship. As per Entertainment Weekly, Lee once told Angie Martinez during an episode of the Hollywood Unlocked podcast in January 2023 that he and Haddish often spoke about the possibility of having a child together. In the podcast, he said:
''She's offered, and if she's serious - she's somebody that I love, we both were foster kids, I trust her - we've had the conversation of, 'Do you want to be involved? Not involved?'... and now we have to talk about co-parenting.''
As per reports by late 2023, Lee referred to Haddish as his “future baby mama” in social captions. In December 2023, on Christmas, Lee had posted pictures of Tiffany and himself with a bunch of kids. He captioned that photo saying:
''My friend, my ride or die, and my future baby mama popped out yesterday to help spread so much joy. @tiffanyhaddish and I have that foster care connection. We come from a place of feeling abandoned and discarded like trash so we know how a lot of these kids feel.''
The next year, in November 2024, during an episode of Hollywood Unlocked, Lee asked Haddish about her commitment to giving him a kid. During the episode, Lee had asked:
''You did promise me you would give me a kid. So let me ask you a question. So I had Cardi B here, she's already said she'll be my kid's godmother. You said you would give me a kid. Are you serious about that?''
To which Haddish replied by confirming her interest while discussing adoption versus pregnancy.
According to USA Today, the child is speculated to be the 6-month-old grandson of Lee's cousin Natasha Brown.
As of now, neither has further explained the picture posted on Instagram nor provided any further clarifications.
