Tiffany Haddish and Jason Lee's cryptic ‘baby reveal' post leaves fans guessing
Debunking the Instagram post
The first image shows the Girls Trip actress wearing a cropped denim dress, all smiles, while holding a confused-looking baby in a blue beanie and tiny Jordans, with Lee (who is openly gay) standing next to her, wearing a white graphic t-shirt and holding onto a green stroller. The second image zooms into what appears to be the happy family, with the pair looking lovingly at the child. Fans wasted no time getting their Sherlock Holmes' gear on, as their speculations and a frenzy of humorous reactions sent the internet into overdrive.
Comments and fan reactions
Actress and director Tasha Smith was among the confused batch of commentators, wondering 'What does this mean', while a fan confessed, 'What is the cat because I just see you and tiff with someone baby,' and a third went, 'Someone go get the cat, I got questions 🤔.' While congratulatory comments gushed in, there are several theories in the air - adoption, surrogacy, wedding rumours, and even questions about the image being AI generated.

Splitsies on Parenthood?
However, it is common knowledge that Tiffany Haddish and Jason Lee are not involved in a romantic relationship, despite having been very close for a long time. Fans are linking this back to a November 2024 episode of Hollywood Unlocked, where the pair engaged in a humorous exchange about going splitsies on a baby.
'You did promise me you would give me a kid,' Lee, 47, reminded Haddish, '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?' Haddish responded, 'Yeah. I wanted to talk to you about the cost of… 'cause I said I wanted to do it the old fashioned way—you said no. So I want to talk to you about the cost of [having a baby].'
What once seemed like a lighthearted joke now has fans wondering if something actually happened behind the scenes.

Another fan, replying to Tasha Smith's comment explained that the baby actually belongs to Instagram user @briibiggbandzz23 - 'Actually that's @briibiggbandzz23 baby😂😂'. Keeping aside all the detective equipment, there have been no statements from either Haddish or Lee confirming or denying anything. Bottom line, the cat is still pretty much in the bag - maybe the comedian is having a good laugh at everyone's expense, or maybe she is actually a mother now, in which case, congrats to the new mom!

Trinity Rodman reacts to Ben Shelton's Toronto win with funny takes on tennis traditions
Trinity Rodman reacts to Ben Shelton's Toronto win with funny takes on tennis traditions (Image via Getty) Trinity Rodman and Ben Shelton have been a couple for less than six months. As Ben Shelton reached the semi‑finals of the National Bank Open in Toronto on August 6, 2025, the Washington Spirit forward posed questions about tennis that even he couldn't clearly explain. She turned to fans with fresh confusion and curiosity. Her post became a bridge between two sports worlds, drawing attention to etiquette, traditions, and the differences between soccer and tennis. Trinity Rodman asks tennis questions after Ben Shelton wins quarterfinal On August 6, 2025, Ben Shelton beat Alex de Minaur in Toronto in straight sets (6‑3, 6‑4) to advance to the National Bank Open semi‑finals. Trinity Rodman, 23, watched from afar and shared a TikTok video asking tennis fans for help understanding the game. She admitted that she asked Ben Shelton about tennis rules but his answers left her more confused. One question she stressed: why do players raise their hand and say 'sorry' when they win a point after the ball hits the net? She compared it to scoring off the post in soccer and apologising to the goalkeeper, something she found puzzling. She also wondered why tennis players must act so reserved after winning a point, as showing strong emotion can be seen as cocky. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like What Happens To Celebrities That Go To Jail? Undo Trinity Rodman pointed to the strict traditions at events like Wimbledon, where players and even fans wear all white, a rule she doesn't understand compared to soccer's varied jerseys. She joked that a match between Ben Shelton and Flavio Cobolli felt like a 'Spider‑Man meme' because they wore nearly identical outfits. Trinity Rodman wrapped up the video by suggesting two changes: let players choose the music during changeovers and extend the 90‑second break between games. She said long waits can cause missed bathroom breaks or lost games. Her video drew over 137 comments from fans who didn't think her questions were 'stupid'.

Trinity Rodman, who plays forward for the Washington Spirit and has dealt with a back injury since April, scored a winning goal in her comeback match just days before Shelton's quarterfinal win in Toronto. Ben Shelton publicly praised her comeback, saying 'Plays 15 mins first game back and scores a banger.' Now it's his turn with a big match ahead against Taylor Fritz in the semi‑finals. Trinity Rodman's questions and Ben Shelton's support show a unique mix of sports, curiosity, and mutual encouragement. Catch Rani Rampal's inspiring story on Game On, Episode 4. Watch Here!
