The soon-to-be husband and wife looked delighted as they posed for the camera in a snapshot shared by the NFL star.
Kelvin Hayden took to Instagram and posted a couple of snapshots of himself accompanied by his fiance, actress Taraji P Henson, who looked gorgeous flaunting her iconic curly, brown hair.
The NFL player captioned with nothing more than a smiling emoji. However, the couple's happiness being together was apparent with the wide smiles they sported for the camera.
Henson and Hayden both are not shy about sharing their personal life with their fans and followers on social media. Both of them have been quite active in giving their fans a few glimpses of their time together.
Previously, Henson also posted a gorgeous snapshot of them spending summer together in Chicago. Henson captioned her post, "Us on any given Sunday. [Kelvin Hayden] my baby for life."
Henson also revealed the big news of her engagement with Hayden via social media in May 2018. Taking to Instagram, the "Empire" actress stated, "I said yes [you all]!"
In an earlier interview, she also detailed how exactly Hayden proposed to her. Henson explained that he first gave her the Cartier love bracelet and then took her to the place where they had their first date.
However, Henson never suspected a thing until the NFL star actually dropped to his knee.
"And as I’m putting the dots together, I turn around, he’s on his knee and then the river of tears just started and my lashes ended up on the floor,” the actress stated.

Earlier this year in January, Henson explained to "People" that Hayden was in no rush to plan the wedding and they were both staying patient about the wedding date.
“I don’t have a date yet. I’m trying for the summer. I have scripts coming in, you know — you got to strike while the iron is hot — and he is patient.”
However, Henson clarified that they are not taking too long to tie the knot either. According to her, they are currently living together and "not going anywhere."
She assured her fans that they "are getting married" and "soon," before adding, "It won't be a 10-year engagement."
Prior to opening up about their engagement, Henson first confirmed her relationship with Hayden during a "Yes, Girl!" podcast back in 2017.
Gushing about her connection with the NFL player, Henson stated at the time that she was "happy" in her personal life, and added, "Finally it has happened to me!"
