Taraji P. Henson is really sharing the love these days.

Since officially confirming her long-rumored relationship with Super Bowl winning former NFL star Kelvin Hayden, back in November on ESSENCE’s Yes, Girl! Podcast, the Empire star has slowly given fans more of a glimpse into their love

For Valentine’s Day, Henson shared a selfie of them posed together, with a special caption: “Happy Love Bug Day LOVE BUGS!!! #ILoveMeSumHim”

When Henson broke her silence about their relationship with ESSENCE, she wanted to make one thing clear: things are going really well!

“You know, I’m not the type to blast my personal business, but you know, I think that it’s important for people to know that I’m happy,” said Henson. “I’m very very happy. I just am. We’ve been together for two years. And no one would really know that because I don’t blast my info like that but I’m very happy.”
