Aryl and Taye are happily in love, so it was only a matter of time before O met the man dating the mother of his children.

All is well between Omarion and Apryl Jones these days, a far cry from just a few years ago. The world watched with wide eyes as the former couple was at odds on both reality television and social media. Omarion and Apryl once touted their relationship on Love & Hip Hop, and later, they welcomed two children together. However, soon, things turned sour, and they decided to go their separate ways. It was reported that co-parenting became a struggle for the ex-lovers and that animosity boiled over when Jones began dating Fizz, Omarion's B2K groupmate.

The new romance would also reach Love & Hip Hop, and the controversy sent the internet into a firestorm. Jones and Fizz defended themselves against critics, and Omarion emerged "unbothered." It didn't take long for Jones to find herself once again single, but now, she's linked with Taye Diggs. It was a surprise coupling for the public, but the pair's silly videos and adorable posts have won over hearts. In a recent interview, Omarion revealed he met Diggs and detailed the introduction.

Omarion Finally Meets Taye Diggs

Omarion admitted that he hadn't met Diggs before the acclaimed actor dated Jones. "I just met him for the first time," the hitmaker told Sway Calloway. "He seems like a cool dude, know what I mean? And he has kids of his own. So, you know—and he's an older man, so I only expect good things from him." Omarion further shared that the meeting took place at his son's class project event. "He came through, and it was cool. 'Nice to meet you,' all good." Diggs was said to have told O that his "kids are wonderful."

In August of last year, Diggs fawned over Apryl, bragging about his love for her. “I feel really lucky to have the career I have, coming from nothing and then getting to be where I am,” he said. “And then, the fact that this woman is in love with me. Like, I don’t [understand], I can’t, there—that’s how I know, praise you Lord Jesus or Buddha or Universe, ’cause somehow she’s next to me.” Check out the clip of Omarion speaking about meeting Diggs above.
