According to New York Daily News, Aisha McShaw is a New York-based personal hairstylist [and fashion designer], who has been spotted with Sharpton on quite a few occasions over the past few years. Back in 2013, Al and Aisha were spotted together a few times. They made public appearances together. at the White House Correspondents Dinner in April of that year and President Obama’s holiday party in December of 2012. Other than that, they managed to stay out of the public eye.

But despite the notable appearances, Al refused to speak publicly about the relationship. But Aisha took matters into her own hands. When the two arrived at the New York County Democratic Committee Award Ceremony back in 2013, Aisha was asked about her connection to Al Sharpton. She set things straight with reporters when she said, “I’m his girlfriend.”

Even now, Al is relatively quiet about the relationship. Aisha’s declaration follows a string of reports about the relationship since it’s the first Al has reportedly had since his split from his ex-wife Kathy Lee Jordan. After 25 years of marriage, the two decided to call it quits back in 2014. At the time, Sharpton told top aide and chief spokeswoman, Rachel Noerdlinger shared his reaction to the reports about his dealings with Aisha. He was actually quite shocked it made the news. “His exact words to me were, ‘Rachel, I’m not announcing an engagement or a marriage,’” Noerdlinger said. “‘Don’t I have a right to date when my marriage has been over for a decade?’” He continued, “I don’t discuss his personal life and he doesn’t talk about it,” she said.

So, it looks like the two are still going strong. Do you thing Rev. Sharpton!
