Guess What “DifferentWorld” Actress Kadeem Hardison Dated In REAL-LIFE?

Posted On : May 23, 2015

cree and kadeem2 It’s Cree Summer a.k.a. “Freddie!” Did you think it was going to be Jasmine Guy? If so, that’s understandable because her character, “Whitley Gilbert,” connected so well with her on-screen love “Dwayne-Wayne,” that she would have seemed like the obvious choice, but NOPE it’s the actress who played the flower child type college student on the show.

None of us over here had a clue that just like that Billy Paul song, Cree and Kadeem had a thing going on and a serious thing at that- they were together for a year and based on all of the pics we found in our research, they were apparently joined at the hip during their year of dating bliss. We have shots of them out everywhere together in the public’s eye, so how did we miss this back in the day, is beyond me…LOL. Cree even posted this up on her Instagram page a little over a month ago…

Kadeem, was it awkward being Jasmine’s love interest even though you were dating Cree Summer during the show?
HARDISON: That wasn’t even my concern at the time. Dominic [Hoffman], Jasmine’s boyfriend at the time, did some spots on the show. It’s like you have your work wife and home wife. But your home wife also happens to work with you. As much as that could have been sticky, they were so in love with each, it was never an issue. Good God, if you thought me and Darryl were close, he and Jasmine were inseparable. They brought out the silliness in each other.

Cree also had this to say when People recently asked her about Kadeem:

[Kadeem is a] “gentle, gentle man. Everyone who meets him falls in love with him.”
