Former Instagram model and Atlanta socialite LaShontae “Tae” Heckard is pregnant with “Star Wars” actor John Boyega‘s baby. The couple confirmed the rumors by appearing in public with wedding rings. They only follow each other on Instagram.
John is a boyish 34, while Tae is 48 (but she looks much younger). She has a 10-year-old son by pro basketball player Brandon Jennings, 36.
Tae shared photos on Instagram showing off her wedding ring.
According to Blkcosmo, John and Tae have been secretly dating for over 2 years.
“John loves how grounded and protective Tae is, and Tae loves his ambition. They didn’t want a massive Hollywood guest list. They wanted something intimate, just focused on their love.”
John is best known for playing Finn in the Star Wars film franchise. He was born in London, England, to Nigerian parents. John previously dated actress Shaquita Smith, 36, reality star Princess Love Norwood, 41, and actress Kelly Marie Tran, 47.
Tae previously dated rappers and athletes including Nelly, Stefon Diggs and Brandon Jennings. She appeared on the BET series “The Game, and in music videos, including Busta Rhymes‘ “Where I Belong” music video featuring Mariah Carey.
Her first movie credit was in the 2006 film ATL starring T.I. and Khadijah Haqq.
I first met Tae at a Traxx Girls (lesbian party) event in Atlanta back in the day. She was married to a stud named Monique Blanton (pictured right). She also messed with aspiring rapper Ari the Mack at the same time.
This is a photo of Tae and Ari kissing. No doubt Ari is the reason why Tae and Monique broke up, but she denied it in a rude text exchange with me. I didn’t investigate any further. I try to mind my own business.
I have more pictures of Tae at the lesbian bar in Atlanta back in the day. I’ll post those later when I find the time to dig through my archives.
