Tiffany Haddish opens up on 'mentally and spiritual' challenges of getting her makeup done
Tiffany Haddish needs to be in a "good space mentally and spiritually" before she can get her makeup done. The 45-year-old comedienne is no stranger to performing on stage and screen, but admitted that when it comes to the preparation of it all, she can only "handle" having assistants swarm around her to act as a glam squad if she has made peace with it all in her own head first. She told UsWeekly: "A lot of people will be pulling on you, and you need to be in a good space mentally and spiritually in order to handle that. 'Especially on those lady days! You really just want to fight people because you're dying. There's a funeral happening, and nobody knows but you!' The ' Girls Trip' star was then asked if she has any rituals before she goes on stage and explained that she uses "personal feel-good music" to get herself ready. She said: "It's my personal feel-good music. "Not even my team hears it. It's in my AirPods. It's basically Hz tones — 420, 480, 550." Meanwhile, Tiffany - who was married to William Stewart from 2008 until 2013 and dated rapper Common from 2020 until 2021 - is currently single but has strict financial criteria she wants from a new partner, including a good credit score, an Employer Identification Number (EIN) and their own staff within their company. She told 'Extra': 'There are people that want to be special in my life, but they don't meet the qualifications. 'The qualifications for someone to be that special guy is the credit score has to be over 675 because… I'm a firm believer that credit score shows a lot about a person, and if a bank wouldn't be willing to give you a loan for a home, why would I be willing to let you be in my body?' 'You got to have an EIN number, okay? And he has to have employees… If you don't know what an EIN number is, that just means you're an employee.'

Celebrity Stepparents Who Are Close With Their Stepkids
Being part of a blended family is incredibly common these days, and many celebrity stepparents are normalizing having a tight-knit bond with their stepkids. From Gabrielle Union-Wade and Jennifer Lopez to Kurt Russell and Jason Momoa, some of the biggest stars in entertainment frequently show the world what it looks like to foster a close stepparent-stepchild relationship. For the Bring It On star, she was fully aware that her signature on the dotted line represented an agreement to more than just her marital vows to NBA icon Dwyane Wade. The former professional basketball player had three kids from previous relationships by the time he and Union-Wade tied the knot, and the actress shared on a 2021 episode of the We Can Do Hard Things with Glennon Doyle podcast, 'I knew that when I married him, I was married to them.' Like Union-Wade, Jada Pinkett Smith was determined to show up as a positive parental figure for Will Smith's son Trey. The Girls Trip actress wrote on Facebook in 2014, 'When I married Will, I knew Trey was part of the package. Period! If I didn't want that, I needed to marry someone else.' And though Blake Shelton has no kids of his own, his relationship with his own stepdad influenced how he perceives his bond with Gwen Stefani's three sons. The country singer told People in 2021, 'I love my stepfather and I look up to him and he's like a father to me, so I have a good inspiration in my life for how to do this and the kind of stepdad I want to be, and I take it very serious.' Scroll on to read more on stepparenthood from these stars and many more.

The TV personality — who is also mom to son Tristan is constantly fawning over her stepkids, and it's so sweet to see. In 2024, she wrote the most heartfelt birthday tribute to Taylor. 'You have grown up to be such a beautiful, driven, sophisticated young lady,' El Moussa said. 'I love watching you with Tristan and I am so lucky that I get to have you as my beautiful bonus daughter, I've loved every moment with you. I love you so much, happy birthday sweet girl. 💗🥳' Before she welcomed her daughter Kaavia with Dwyane Wade, Gabrielle Union-Wade was stepmom to the NBA icon's daughter Zaya and sons Zaire and Xavier. The Bring It On alum said on a 2021 episode of the We Can Do Hard Things with Glennon Doyle podcast, 'I knew that when I married him, I was married to them.' Union-Wade continued, 'What I realized very quickly is you will never, ever — I don't care if the other parent is dead — you will never be able to replace the other parent. Don't try to replace the other parent. That is not your job.' The movie star asserted, 'Your job is to be consistent. If you're a disciplinarian in your own life, continue to be that. Just be consistent so they know who you are.' Time and again, we've seen Union be a huge cheerleader for her stepkids, especially Zaya. She is constantly complementing the teen's new looks on Instagram, and the two even 'gossip' about love interests together. Before Paul Bettany and Jennifer Connelly welcomed their two children, Connelly welcomed a son named Kai with her ex. Despite the couple being private about their family life, Bettany did reveal that he got Kai's name tattooed on him, alongside his two other children and Connelly's first names. Kurt Russell and Goldie Hawn share a son of their own, Wyatt, but the Guardians of the Galaxy alum is also dad to his son Boston and stepdad to Hawn's movie star kids, daughter Kate Hudson and son Oliver Hudson. Russell is famously close with Kate, who shared an incredibly touching Father's Day post in his honor in 2022. Alongside a sweet throwback photo, The Knives Out: Glass Onion star wrote on Instagram, 'Fun, adventurous, passionate, determined, honest, devoted, amazing father and the best head of hair in Los Angeles! Lucky us! Love you Pa! Happy Fathers Day.' Hawn responded in the comments, 'Honey I showed this to daddy. Here's his message …' Russell wrote, 'Birdie, mommy just showed me this picture, this perfect Father's Day present. I've never seen it before. Wow … it's a killer.' The Christmas Chronicles actor continued, 'Lotta water under the bridge … it's kinda hard to see it though cause all that water seems to somehow have found its way into my eyes … thanks for making me the luckiest father in the world sweetheart. I love you, Pa.' By the time Cardi B and Offset began dating, the Migos rapper was already dad to a daughter, Kalea, and two sons, Kody and Jordan. The 'Money' rapper has always embraced being a stepmother, even after she and Offset welcomed a daughter, Kulture, followed by a son, Wave, and another daughter whose name hasn't been revealed. Cardi occasionally shares photos of their blended family, and in 2022, Offset sang her praises as a stepmom. 'It's a blessing to be able to have [the kids] altogether, and to have a wife who's open and treats them as if they're her kids,' he said during an interview with Essence before he and Cardi B split in 2024. 'It could be an issue, but I don't have to go through that, and that's beautiful.' When Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck married, they each had several children from previous relationships. Lopez shares twins Emme and Max with her ex-husband Marc Anthony, and Affleck and his ex-wife Jennifer Garner are parents to daughters Violet and Seraphina and son Samuel. Modeling top-tier blended family dynamics, the Shotgun Wedding actress sang the praises of the Justice League star's parenting abilities. During a 2023 appearance on Today, Lopez said, 'He's a wonderful, wonderful father. And a father figure to [Max and Emme] as well, because he has his own three beautiful children, and then there's us.' The entertainment multi-hyphenate continued, 'He's fantastic. He really steps up to the challenge of what [stepparenthood] is and what that means, and they love him. They love him. And they appreciate him, and so do I.' Likewise, it's important to Jennifer Lopez to be a pillar of support and source of love for Ben Affleck's children. She told Vogue in 2022, 'What I hope to cultivate with our family is that his kids have a new ally in me and my kids have a new ally in him, someone who really loves and cares about them but can have a different perspective and help me see things that I can't see with my kids because I'm so emotionally tied up.' Lopez filed for divorce in 2024, and the A-listers finalized the divorce in 2025. Just two months after Gisele Bündchen and Tom Brady got together, the former supermodel learned her new boyfriend was expecting a baby with his ex-girlfriend Bridget Moynahan. The trio came together to welcome Jack into the world. The NFL quarterback and Bündchen had a daughter, Vivian, and a son, Benjamin, a few years later. In 2018, Bündchen explained the dynamic between herself, Brady, and Moynahan to People. 'It wasn't the ideal situation for anyone — there's no manual to prepare you for that,' she said. 'But I'm so grateful for [Bridget]. I know this was hard, but I couldn't imagine my life without [Jack]. I call him my bonus child.' Bündchen added, 'He opened my heart in ways I didn't even know my heart could expand. I fell in love with him.' Bündchen and Brady divorced in 2022, and the model welcomed a baby with boyfriend Joaquim Valente in 2025. Jada Pinkett Smith has always prioritized a close relationship with her stepson Trey. In 2014, the Matrix star wrote about the dynamic between herself, her husband Will Smith, and Trey. Pinkett Smith shared on Facebook, 'When I married Will, I knew Trey was part of the package. Period! If I didn't want that, I needed to marry someone else.' She added, 'I can't support any actions that keep a man from his children of a previous marriage … We can't say we love our man and then come in between him and his children. THAT'S selfishness — not love.' The now-estranged couple also share a son and a daughter, Jaden and Willow. Russell Wilson is stepdad to Ciara's son Future. Of stepparenthood, the NFL player said during an appearance on Good Morning America, 'Being a stepdad … has taught me, really, what love is like, what life is really like, [and] how God intends us to love.' Wilson and Ciara share three additional children, daughters Sienna and Amora, and a son named Win. Though he and Melanie Griffith separated in 2015, Antonio Banderas forged a lasting bond with her children, son Alexander and Fifty Shades of Grey star Dakota Johnson. In fact, Johnson presented her former stepdad with the Hollywood Actor Award at the 2020 Hollywood Film Awards, and she gave a touching speech in his honor. Johnson told the crowd, 'He loved my mother, and my siblings and I so big, and so fiercely and so loud, that it would change all of our lives together.' Afterward, Banderas told E! News, 'I thought and felt that all of those years.' The Spy Kids alum added, 'But I knew that it was a confirmation that all of those years that Melanie and I spent together, they were years that was not only just about Melanie and me, they were about the family. They were worth it all.' Blake Shelton doesn't have any kids of his own, but he adores being stepdad to Gwen Stefani's three sons Kingston, Zuma, and Apollo. In 2021, the country singer told People, 'I have a stepfather in my life who's one of my heroes. I love my stepfather and I look up to him and he's like a father to me, so I have a good inspiration in my life for how to do this and the kind of stepdad I want to be, and I take it very serious,' Shelton explained. The Voice judge added, 'But I also have a blast with it, I'm not gonna lie. I don't take it so serious that I'm not enjoying this time because I really am, especially now that we're five years into this thing … I can't imagine my life without these kids now.' Before Matt Damon and Luciana Barroso welcomed three daughters together — Isabella, Gia, and Stella — the Good Will Hunting star became stepdad to Barroso's daughter Alexia. Damon and Alexia are so close that, when the movie star got the names of his younger three daughters tattooed on him, he also got his stepdaughter's name inked into his skin. Jason Momoa and Lisa Bonet decided to part ways after 14 years of marriage, but the Aquaman star is still close with his stepdaughter Zoë Kravitz. In fact, when Bonet couldn't attend The Batman premiere, Momoa took their daughter and son, Lola and Nakoa-Wolf, to support their big sister's debut as Catwoman. On the red carpet, the Game of Thrones alum said, 'We're just so proud. Lisa couldn't be here so we're representing, me and the babies. We're very excited to just be here … It's still family, you know?' Before Catherine Zeta-Jones and Michael Douglas had their son Dylan and daughter Carys, the Wednesday actress was stepmom to the Ant-Man star's son Cameron. Zeta-Jones made sure to start on the right foot with Cameron — he told the Daily Mail in 2009, 'When she came into our family it could so easily have gone another way. You hear stories all the time about the younger stepmother pushing away the kids from a previous marriage, but from the first day I met her, she said, 'I want us to be friends, and I want you to know that you are a huge part of our family and are welcome any time.'' He added, 'She has been as good as her word … I've never seen my father as happy as he is with her. It's cool to see.' Though Kate Bosworth and Michael Polish are no longer married, the actress is still very close to his daughter Jasper, whom Bosworth has been stepmom to for over a decade. During a 2022 appearance on The Talk, Bosworth shared, 'I have watched her grow up from about 12 years old until, she's 24 now, and she is the light of my life. She really is. I'm so proud of her.' Of her relationship with Jasper's mom, she added, 'We kind of shattered the stereotype of like evil stepmother pitted against biological mother. I'm very close to Jasper's biological mom … and I think it's really all about love.' Before they welcomed a son, Santiago, Eva Longoria was solely stepmom to José Bastón's kids: daughters Natalia and Mariana and son José. The Desperate Housewives alum told E! News in 2017, 'Right now I am a stepmom to three amazing kids, and I've had my hands full, and they are amazing and wonderful … It's been a lot of fun, a lot of fun being a stepmom.' In addition to her mega-star daughters Beyoncé and Solange Knowles, Tina Knowles-Lawson is also stepmom to Richard Lawson's actress daughter, Bianca. Knowles-Lawson frequently cheers for Bianca's accomplishments, once calling her 'my beautiful bonus daughter' on Instagram. When Barbra Streisand married James Brolin, she became stepmom to his three kids: daughter Molly and sons Jess and Josh. Avengers star Josh Brolin spoke to Good Morning America in 2018 about Streisand's excitement over his baby on the way. He told the hosts, 'She's, like, in our face. She's calling all the time, emailing all the time, she has name suggestions. We got her a bracelet that says 'Grandma' on it, she started crying. She's into it, man, really, really into it. It's great.'

Tiffany Haddish has strict financial criteria for potential boyfriends
Tiffany Haddish wants to date a successful business owner. The 45-year-old actress - who was married to William Stewart from 2008 until 2013 and dated rapper Common from 2020 until 2021 - is currently single but has strict financial criteria she wants from a new partner, including a good credit score, an Employer Identification Number (EIN) and their own staff within their company. She told 'Extra': 'There are people that want to be special in my life, but they don't meet the qualifications. 'The qualifications for someone to be that special guy is the credit score has to be over 675 because… I'm a firm believer that credit score shows a lot about a person, and if a bank wouldn't be willing to give you a loan for a home, why would I be willing to let you be in my body?' 'You got to have an EIN number, okay? And he has to have employees… If you don't know what an EIN number is, that just means you're an employee.' On Saturday (17.05.25), Tiffany co-hosted her third Annual Adult prom with Jo Koy to raise money for the She Ready Foundation, which supports young people in foster care, and the 'Girls Trip' star admitted it is a cause that is particularly important to her because of her own upbringing. She said: 'It's a great cause we're raising money for these foster youth to help them get the education they need, the housing, the life skills they need.' 'I grew up in a foster care system, and I wish there was somebody like me that could have been supported and guided me or at least given me some of the skills that I needed. I had to learn the hard way.' Meanwhile, Tiffany recently admitted she got thrown out of ballet class for swearing. She told Us Weekly magazine: 'I auditioned for a ballet-style dance film and I did not get hired. But I also got kicked out of ballet class." Asked why she was thrown out, she admitted: 'For cussing. That s*** hurts!' But Tiffany still enjoys watching ballet. She said: 'I go to ballet. I go to the recital just to, like, smite the teacher." And the 'Haunted Mansion' star enjoys other dance classes, even if she isn't "good" at it. She said: 'I do it at home alone all the time. I'm not good at it. "I take barre classes. That's my jam!'

Tiffany Haddish opens up on dating multiple people at once
Tiffany Haddish has opened up about her experience of dating multiple people at the same time. The 44-year-old actress and comedian was previously married to a man named William Stewart from 2008 until 2013 and went on to date rap icon Common from 2020 until late 2021. Since then, Haddish has been keeping her options open and now claims she has a "roster" of lovers around her. Opening up about her romantic life on Late Night with Seth Meyers on Wednesday, the Girls Trip star said, "I'm still dating multiple people, but new multiple people. But one or two from the old roster transferred over to the new roster." She continued, "There's a couple holdovers. I'm running a team here." Haddish went on to suggest she has some rules when it comes to the kind of dates that she is taken on - saying her preference for an early night can rule out certain activities. She explained, "I do love going to the movies, but I can only do movies, like, in the daytime. And it gotta be an exciting movie." She continued, "If we're watching a 9 o'clock show, just know that I'll probably be asleep by like 9:45. And I snore, and that's a problem, especially if I sleep sitting up. ... Like, my mouth opens." The American star went on to reveal she even cut off one romantic partner after he failed to wake her up when they went to watch recent horror hit, Sinners. She recalled, "I was like, 'What happened?! What's going on?!' I was like, 'Why didn't you wake me up?!' "He was like, 'You were so peaceful and you were snoring; I didn't wanna disturb you.' And I was like, 'Oh, okay.' I had to cut him off the roster."
