While discussing well-known celebrity couples, Howard reflected on a time early in Beyoncè’s career when the two crossed paths. According to him, there was genuine interest between them, but things didn’t move forward the way some might expect.
“I had a chance to date Beyoncè early on,” Howard said during the conversation, noting that they had spoken and connected at the time. However, instead of pursuing a relationship with her, he said he ended up focusing his attention on another member of Destiny’s Child, though he did not mention her by name.
At the time, Destiny’s Child was still evolving as a group, with different members joining and leaving before eventually settling into its most recognized lineup. Beyonce, alongside Kelly Rowland and Michelle Williams, would go on to lead the group to massive success.
Howard also recalled a memorable moment that seemed to highlight their chemistry. At the 2005 BET Awards, he was selected to join Beyoncè on stage during a performance of “Cater 2 U.” The performance featured the singers bringing male celebrities on stage for a playful and intimate segment.
