During a recent appearance on a podcast hosted by entrepreneur and commentator Patrick Bet-David, the Empire <\/em>actor revealed that there was once a moment when he had the opportunity to pursue a romantic relationship with Beyonc\u00e9. While any logical person would jump at the chance to date the singer, according to Howard, he\u2019s the one who chose not to move things forward.<\/p>\n

Looking back on his early days in Hollywood, Howard said there was a time when a relationship with Beyonc\u00e9 could have happened<\/a>, but he didn\u2019t want to participate in what he described as the entertainment industry\u2019s \u201chookup culture.\u201d The actor explained that during that period of his life he was trying to stay grounded and focused on his personal principles rather than casual relationships.<\/p>\n

Howard said he preferred to prioritize deeper connections instead of navigating the pressures and expectations that can come with dating within the celebrity world. When Bet-David asked whether he ever wonders about the \u201cwhat if,\u201d Howard made it clear he has no regrets.<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cNah, that was never on the table for me,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Howard also shared more details about his interactions with the singer at the time. After speaking with Beyonc\u00e9, he said he later connected with another member of the iconic girl group Destiny\u2019s Child.<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cI had a chance to date Beyonc\u00e9 early on, but I ended up talking to the other member of Destiny\u2019s Child\u2026the one with the blue eyes,\u201d he claims.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Franklin, who briefly served as a member of the major girl group, is now speaking out on Howard\u2019s admission, revealing to People<\/a><\/em>: \u201cI\u2019m Farrah with the natural green eyes (not Blue lol), and I can confirm that Terrence and I had a few friendly outings\u2014nothing romantic.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cWe went to the studio a few times, and I will say that Terrence is super talented!\u201d she continued. \u201cI won\u2019t speculate on anything else that was said, and as always, I wish everyone well and remain focused on my own journey.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Destiny\u2019s Child originally consisted of Beyonc\u00e9, Kelly Rowland, LeToya Luckett, and LaTavia Roberson. Michelle Williams and Farrah Franklin joined the group after Luckett and Roberson\u2019s exit. Not long after that swap, Franklin also parted ways with the band, who continued with Beyonc\u00e9, Rowland and Williams.<\/p>\n
