Fans were taken by surprise on Sunday, August 3, when Tiffany Haddish appeared to shockingly reveal that she had a baby with “Love & Hip Hop” star Jason Lee.
The friends cryptically captioned a joint Instagram post “Cats out of the bag.” In the shot, the entertainers grin side-by-side as Lee grips the handle of a luxury stroller and Haddish clutches a child that looks to be several months old.
Haddish’s fans and Hollywood peers alike were confused by the post. “What does this mean,” asked “Why Did I Get Married Too?” actress Tasha Smith. A fan replied to her, “He said he was willing to try for a baby w/ Tiffany Haddish and they finally have their baby together. Super cute.”
“Congratulations! 🥳I got two teenagers you can have!” joked comedian Susie Sitcom.
“Mob Wives” star Renee Graziano exclaimed, “Wait what???”
Some fans were still skeptical. “Who kid is y’all playing with?” quipped one.
“Someone go get the cat, I got questions,” said another.
Tiffany Haddish & Jason Lee Previously Hinted at Baby Plans
Back in November 2024, Lee and Haddish said on his podcast “Hollywood Unlocked” that they would consider having a baby together as friends.
“You said you would give me a kid. Are you serious about that?” he asked the “Girls Trip” star. “Yeah,” she replied, before he said, “We could have a kid.”
Haddish went on, “I wanted to talk to you about the cost. Cause I said I wanted to do it the old fashioned way and you said no. So I wanted to talk you about the cost.”
Haddish then laid out the details of IVF to Lee. “I gotta inject myself with hormones to make eggs drop. Then we can pick out which ones we want,” she explained.
Sounding serious about the plan, she declared, “I did the research for us!”
Lee then joked, “I wouldn’t be Jason Lee from ‘Hollywood Unlocked’ anymore. I would be Tiffany Haddish’s baby daddy. That’s how they would introduce me at places.”
Tiffany Haddish Previously Talked About Adoption
Tiffany Haddish has been saying she wants to be a mom for some time. In a 2021 Vlad TV interview, she said, “I’ll probably adopt a bunch of kids,” before adding she wants “a rainbow tribe.” She also talked about her love of working with kids, and how much she enjoys volunteering at Laugh Factory’s comedy camp.
“Every year I participate. Every single year I come and mentor the kids. Talk to them, motivate them, show them how to construct a joke, and you see them open up. Cause they are usually really shy, or they’re the class clown.” She said her time at the camp was “the first time a man told me I was smart.”
