Tiffany Haddish has finally shot down the rumors that she secretly welcomed a baby with Hollywood Unlocked host Jason Lee
The 45-year-old comic and the gay podcaster set off a whirlwind of speculation by posting a viral photo of themselves with an infant.
‘Cats out the bag,’ Jason quipped in the caption – only for fans to take the joke seriously and fly into an instant frenzy of speculation.
Now, Tiffany has finally put paid to all the conjecture during her guest-hosting gig on Jimmy Kimmel Live! this Tuesday evening.
‘Even my own relatives was asking if I had a secret baby,’ she said during her opening monologue: ‘which is kind of insulting because they all are living in my house and blocking me from getting any d***.’
She then revealed that Jason was sitting in the audience, where he chimed in: ‘The whole world has lost their mind over this beautiful baby.’
‘We just took a picture with a baby and then that went crazy so now we got a godbaby,’ Tiffany said. ‘Yeah I went ahead and made it our godbaby. You the daddy.’
Jason observed that he and Tiffany, who are longtime friends, were both ‘former foster kids,’ drawing attention to how ‘important’ adoption is.
Tiffany added: ‘Jason, the offer still is on the table if you wanna make a real baby together,’ prompting him to remind her that he is ‘still gay.’
She told the audience: ‘So just to be clear, I did not have a baby, but I am open to it, wide open to it. I even have a list of potential baby daddies.’
Asking Jason to rate her picks, she rattled off a joke list of potential celebrity mates, including Tom Cruise, Brad Pitt and New York Yankees player Giancarlo Stanton.
She and Jason previously discussed the possibility of having a child together on his Hollywood Unlocked podcast last November, possibly ironically.
‘You did promise me you would give me a kid,’ he said, asking if she was ‘serious about that,’ to which Tiffany responded that she was.
Jason however confirmed that he had no plans to conceive ‘the old-fashioned way,’ which opened the door to Tiffany’s questions about the ‘cost’ of the process.
Tiffany, who suffers from endometriosis, revealed in 2023 that she had undergone multiple miscarriages that she described as ‘as painful as a motherf***er.’
She theorized that the experience may have been ‘God’s birth control,’ advising her: ‘He is not the one. That is not who you are supposed to be having a baby with,’ on the Broad Ideas podcast hosted by Rachel Bilson.
