**Tiffany Haddish Marries Herself During Girls’ Trip to Africa**
Wedding bells are ringing for Tiffany Haddish—well, for herself, that is. During a recent vacation to Africa with some close girlfriends, the actress and comedian surprised everyone by having a self-marriage ceremony.
“I thought to do that because first, I wanted to have a little party,” Haddish, 45, exclusively told The Post. “Second, I also wanted to hold myself accountable for some things.”
The “Girls Trip” star embarked on a real-life girls’ trip across Africa with her four best friends in the new Peacock docuseries *Tiffany Haddish Goes Off,* premiering November 13. She explained that although it might look like she’s doing well to her friends and the world, there are “things that I have not been honoring, for me.”
Haddish is coming off a challenging period that included two DUI-related arrests in 2022 and 2023. In 2024, she also faced backlash on social media after posting a TikTok during her Africa trip, marveling at Zimbabwe having a grocery store.
“I feel like it was just like a constant attack on her when she didn’t have any bad intent,” said her friend Sparkle Clark, who appears in the series. “I just talked to Tiffany and I was like, ‘I think that before you post [on social media] you should call us or talk to us about it first.’ Tiffany is not this person who they make her out to be. She really has a kind heart.”
Haddish admitted that dealing with social media backlash feels “like walking on a Lego.” She added, “I’ve got to be more careful about what I post. It’s irritating, but it’s a part of the business.”
In the series, Haddish travels with childhood friends Selena Martin, Shermona Long, and Sparkle Clark through locations including Zimbabwe and Cape Town, South Africa. Their friendships pre-date Haddish’s fame.
“What an honor that these women have gone on this life journey with me since we were little girls. But also it’s a testament to how awesome we all are at communication. I think a lot of friendships fall apart because they don’t communicate,” Haddish told The Post.
She recalled a time after a radio interview when one friend called a week later to share that she’d felt “hurtful.” “We’re gonna talk about it. We have conversations and [it leads to] much growth. So to be able to go to Africa together is something that I’ve been talking about for years,” Haddish said. She jokingly added that her “bad” friends “didn’t make it” and “didn’t get to go on a trip,” but her close pals were there for her impromptu self-marriage ceremony.
Haddish was previously married to William Stewart from 2008 to 2013 and was in a relationship with rapper Common from 2020 to 2021.
“This marriage to me has been going very good. We have been having a fantastic time seeing who our third is going to be,” Haddish joked. “Who is gonna be the third wheel?”
She is also close with comedian Kevin Hart, who once helped her financially during a difficult time when she was homeless and living in her car. When asked if she told friends like Hart about the marriage, Haddish quipped, “You just told him.”
“It’s not everybody’s business that I’m in a relationship with me. I mean, first of all, my relationship with me is my relationship. So I haven’t told everybody,” she explained. “Sometimes I wear my wedding ring and people are like, ‘Oh, my God, where did you get that?’ I’m like, ‘Africa. I’m married!’”
Surprisingly, Haddish revealed that the self-marriage has positively impacted her dating life. “I’m getting more dates now when I tell [men] I’m married. If you tell a man you’re married, but you’re willing to go out with him, he’s like, ‘Oh, she’s a freak!’”
The Emmy-winning actress emphasized the importance of her self-marriage. “If you going to keep any promises in life, the promises you make to yourself are the main ones you need to be keeping. That’s the longest relationship you’re going to have, and there’s no ceremony for you, to you. There’s no ceremony for that,” she said. “So, f-k it, I’m marrying me.”
