Jason Lee and Tiffany Haddish's friendship explained.

Jason and Tiffany's baby news was something he hinted at during a March 2025 interview with Angie Martinez, stating their upbringing as foster kids inspired her to offer to have a baby with him. Although many of Jason and Tiffany's fans were scratching their heads trying to figure out how their reported baby came to be, the celebs have been in each other's lives for quite some time.

The Girls Trip star has appeared on Jason's podcast multiple times, including giving him her first interview after breaking up with Common in 2021. Tiffany was also spotted supporting her apparent baby daddy's mayoral run in 2024. Jason, for his part, has often opened up about their friendship on Instagram and called her "A friend that everyone should have" while celebrating her birthday in 2023.

"Tiff, I’m grateful to call you a friend," he wrote. "I’m thankful for you teaching me self-love. You’re always supportive and encouraging. Whether it’s flying to speak to over 1000 kids at a school mourning the death of their peer, hosting the impact awards after flying 12 hours from France, jet setting to Greece, and having one of the wildest weeks of our lives, or just talking on the phone. You are the definition of friendship."

The pals' baby news came after Tiffany made several comments about dating and having children as a Black woman. In a June 2025 episode of comedian Godfrey's podcast, In Godfrey We Trust, the comedian revealed she was done dating Black men born in the U.S., stating, "I’m only f--king with Black men born outside of America and everything else." Tiffany also sparked controversy when she said she believes, "Women who have more than two baby daddies usually have some sort of mental illness."
