Terrence Howard Shares His Experience of Beyoncé On-Stage Incident and His Past Interest
During the 2005 BET Awards, Terrence Howard and Beyoncé danced flirtatiously to Destiny’s Child’s “Cater 2 U” which is a cherished memory for the actor, he stated during the chat.
While performing live, Destiny’s Child invited three male stars from the crowd to sing with them: Michelle Williams with Magic Johnson, Kelly Rowland with Nelly, and Beyoncé with Howard.
“I remember that Beyoncé was looking at me, and maybe that’s the reason she picked me for that dance, because she was doing a kind of strip tease dance that we did at BET or whatever, to show me what I had lost,” Howard revealed.
He shared that at one point, he was “attracted” to and “felt something” for Beyoncé before she got together with Jay-Z.

Beyoncé and Jay-Z’s First Friendship and Secret Relationship
Beyoncé and Jay-Z first established their bond as friends before romance came into their lives.
“Before we even made a move on each other, we were really just friends for about a year and a half,” the artist revealed in an interview with Oprah Winfrey in OWN. “We talked on the phone for one and a half years. And that kind of groundwork is very necessary for a relationship. Just the notion of having someone you like who is also a good friend is very important. And then someone who is honest.”
Last couple of years, they have still kept up with the practice of making their private life as secret as possible to the public.
