Tyrese Gibson Talks the Possibility of Dating Taraji P. Henson and New Talk Show

It's no secret how close actor/music artist Tyrese Gibson and actress Taraji P. Henson have become since their days on the 2004 film, Baby Boy. Their friendship has been promoted on Gibson's Instagram site, and they both have publicly admitted how much they love one another, but only as friends. But, it's a new year so could the two finally be ready to take that next step into a full blown relationship? Gibson speaks on the possibility of dating Henson and his new talk show with Rev. Run during a recent interview.

As Jody and Yvette, Gibson and Henson seem to create the perfect on-screen chemistry. So much so, their die hard fans of the film Baby Boy would love to see the pair together in real life, as a couple. It's not like Gibson doesn't often proclaim his love and admiration for Henson via his Instagram, Twitter and Facebook accounts. Recently Gibson sat down with co-host Rev. Run and Essence Live to discuss his new talk show, which is geared towards adults in relationships, and finally speak on whether or not he and the Empire star could create magic together as a real life couple.

"I don't really know what that chemistry is independent of the movie set and we both have never tried to go there either," explained Gibson of what it would be like to date Henson according to Urban Belle Magazine. Gibson explained how they are really good friends and although he is aware that most people want to see them together and are rooting for them to become a couple, he's just not sure if their personalities would work together in a romantic relationship.

"I mean I do love her and I do know her, but she's got a very big personality and I do too," explained Gibson during the Essence Live interview. "And I feel like when you get in a relationship, you can cancel each other out. And it has nothing to do with her success versus mine...she's a Virgo, she's loud, she's aggressive. And I'm big, and I'm aggressive and I need a woman that's got a soft voice, and her voice doesn't even go above a certain octave."

So maybe Henson is just a little bit over the top with her bigger than life personality for Gibson but that doesn't stop him from posting photos with captions like this about his on-screen boo...

Maybe it won't be long before the Golden Globe actress is featured as a guest on the new talk show, It's Not You It's Men. The show plans to tackle subjects that many couples may face during the span of their relationship like bad sex; sex before marriage and the idea of marrying someone if the sex is bad. Gibson brings in his perspective, coupled with the perspective of Rev. Run, who's a married man of faith.

The show premiered on Sunday, Jan. 23 on the Oprah Winfrey Network (OWN) and is set to have numerous guests this season including Jordin Sparks, Amber Rose, Marlon Wayans, Vin Diesel and more.
