When most of us think of Chris Tucker, two things probably come to mind- his signature high pitched voice he has and one of his classic one liners from “Friday,” such as “You got knocked the F**K out!” The thing that many of us don’t necessarily think about when it comes to Chris, is his pretty extensive dating history with some famous and not so famous women. But no worries ILOSM fam,’ that’s about to change today, because we’re bringing you an update on the Tucker’s dating game these days. It seems that things have changed, ever since we last told y’all that he was engaged to the niece of the legendary “Video Soul” host/radio personality, Donnie Simpson.
Engagement Canceled
In 2014, word spread that Tucker began dating, Cynne Simpson, Donnie Simpson’s niece. Cynne somewhat followed in her uncle’s footsteps and made a great career for herself in front of the camera, interviewing others. She’s a popular retired television news anchor for Atlanta’s Fox-5 station…which is how she actually met Chris Tucker, after interviewing him for one of her news segments.
By 2015, Chris and Cynne were engaged and they’re relationship seemed really promising. At that time, Cynne was rockin’ that big rock on her left finger (as seen in the above photo), and Chris was smiling from ear to ear with Cynne Simpson on his arm at red carpet events and such. Unfortunately, their engagement didn’t last long and they never made it to the alter.
Both Cynne and Chris have now moved on. Not sure if Cynne is currently in a relationship, but nowadays, she’s dedicated herself to become a humanitarian work. Chris has another beautiful woman on his arm these days…
Meet Tucker’s Current Woman
Introducing y’all to Chris Tucker’s new woman, Jarneen Chaney Brown. As you can see, she is definitely a
banger too. Jarneen is an actress from Atlanta and owns her own marketing firm, Atlanta Injury Centers LLC, which specializes in marketing services primarily for attorneys and law firms. She also helps clients on their fitness journeys, as a personal trainer for her company, Get Fit B J.
Tucker first went public with Jarneen in 2016, apparently shortly after he and Cynne Simpson parted ways. By 2017, he even showed up at a red carpet event with his mother on one side and the lovely Jarneen on the other … we clearly know the love is real once he takes her home to Momma. And years later, they’re still going strong.
Chris and Jarneen apparently are still rock solid in their relationship in 2021, because in August of this year (2021), Jarneen took to Instagram to wish her “babe,” Chris Tucker a happy 50th orbit around the sun:
Please help me wish a Happy 50th Birthday to Chris! Thanks for being so wonderful inside and out! You are my Bestfriend, My Love, A Good Father, A Good Friend, A Good Son, A Good Brother , Uncle and an Awesome Role Model To So many. Happy 50th Birthday Babe!! May this be the best birthday yet❤️ May God Continue To Bless You Today and Many More To Come….😘❤️ @christucker -Jarneen
One interesting thing I couldn’t help but notice about Chris and his boo-thang, is that he seems to pretty much keep Jarneen off of his social media pages, even though she shares photos of them together on her pages. That means nothing though because clearly, the two of them are loving their time together. So maybe Tucker’s cropping stunts are just an indication that he’s tired of making his relationship status public. However, IF that is the case, he may wanna have a quick chit-chat with his lady, so they can be on the same page when it comes to that.
Anywho, the good thing is that they seem happy together… and Chris Tucker definitely landed a beautiful, intelligent woman.
On a side note, it is still a bummer that Tucker’s engagement to Cynne, nor his prior relationship with singer, India.Arie, didn’t last. Hopefully, Chris and Jarneen are in this for the life-long haul. They make a cool couple…but only time will tell.
