Tiffany Haddish Adresses Speculation She Had a Baby While Joking About ‘Potential Baby Daddies’

While serving as a guest host on Jimmy Kimmel Live!, Tiffany Haddish addressed the recent rumors that she’s a mother and jokingly revealed a list of her “potential baby daddies.”

During the opening monologue of Tuesday’s (August 19) episode, Haddish recapped the responses to her debut guest-hosting episode, in which she did a sketch about running for president, and said that there’s something she needs to address only two days into her campaign. “There is a personal matter I feel must be addressed,” she said. “Two weeks ago, I put something on the Instagram that made everyone go a little crazy.”

The photo in question showed her with her friend Jason Lee, the founder of Hollywood Unlocked and Vice Mayor of Stockton, California, posing with a baby. Admittedly, she might have fanned the flames of any rumors by captioning the post, “Cats out the bag.”

“Now, for some reason, people saw this and thought I had a baby,” she said. “Even my own relatives was asking if I had a secret baby, which is kind of insulting because they all are living in my house and blocking me from getting any dick.” Haddish revealed that Jason Lee was in the audience, and he seemed just as confused. She joked that the offer still stands if he wants to have “a real baby” with her. “You know, I’m traditional,” she said, to which he replied, “And I’m still gay.”

Haddish clarified that she does not have a secret baby, but she’s open to the idea in the future.

“I even have a list of potential baby daddies,” she said. “We got Marcus from The Running Point. And then we got number 27 from the Yankees. Then we got Tom Cruise, I’m down to get one with Tom Cruise. No mission is too impossible for me. I’m on it. I’m an Ethan Hunt for that dick. Oh, and Brad Pitt. Brad Pitt, too. Yeah. He can press any of my Benjamin buttons anytime. Oh, and then Melvin from KTLA. He said he loved me, y’all! Did y’all hear y’all? He said he loved me. Even though I think he might be looking more in Jason’s direction. We can work together as a unit. Different kind of freakoff, y’all. Nobody gets paid.”

Another famous person Haddish suggested she would have a child with was Jason Momoa. Then things went off the rails and she brought up a random segment producer on Kimmel. “And Pedro Pascal, okay?” she said. “We could have a fantastic foursome together.”

While single at the moment, Haddish has been previously involved with William Stewart, whom she married in 2008 and divorced in 2013, and the rapper Common.
