WEDDING BELLS

Henson, 49, and Hayden, 36, posed together on the red carpet looking adorable as usual. The lovebirds are probably counting down to their big day next year as the actress has been offering details recently.

Henson confirmed last month that she and her ex-NFL player beau would be tying the knot on April 4, 2020, and revealed that Vera Wang would be designing the dress.

"I trust Vera! That’s why I had her make the dress," she said. "I don’t have to lose sleep. I know she’s going to make me look beautiful."

"I told my wedding planner make it pretty, fun, make sure the food is good and a bomb deejay. No bridal party. I’m not a bridezilla. Please, I just want to say my vows in front of people I love, eat good food and have fun. That’s it!"

FIRST HINT

Henson first gave fans a hint of her much-anticipated wedding day in August. Alongside pictures of herself and Hayden cuddled up on a yacht, she added the hashtag: "#4/4/20"

Henson and Hayden got engaged last year, with the athlete proposing on Mother’s day. "I said yes y’all!!!" the actress gushed alongside a photo of her ring.
