ILOSM family remember actress Golden Brooks,who played “Maya” of the hit early 2000’s sitcom, Girlfriends? Her role was as the sassy friend to the characters played by Tracee Ellis Ross (Diane’s daughter), Jill Marie Jones, and Persia White.

On the show, “Maya” was a married housewife and author, but in real life, Golden was dating a known actor at the time. Although the two are no longer together, they did produced what they are most proud of and treasure with all their hearts- their precious, now 12-year-old daughter.

So who’s her baby daddy, you ask? He’s none other than actor, D.B. Woodside. Remember him? Most of us, Old Schoolers, first became familiar with D.B. when he portrayed Temptations base singer, Melvin Franklin, in the classic Temptations biopic miniseries.

Ever since then, we’ve seen D.B. do his thing in many TV shows and films, including the VH1 series, Single Ladies; the Fox drama series, 24, and he’s currently starring on the Fox hit series, Lucifer.

Well little did many of D.B.’s and Golden’s fans know, they were a couple back in the day, but kept their relationship on the low and out of the public’s eye for the most part.

These days D.B. is still heavily in the acting game. Golden Brooks seems to have taken a breather from the industry for a while, but now, she’s back,having recently finished filming a project with Swirl Films. When their not acting, it’s clear to see that both Golden and D.B. are all about their little princess, Dakota. Golden once shared a few pics from their daughter’s very first fashion design pop up shop. That’s right, their little mini-me is a fashionista in the making. And she and her moms also love Mary J. Blige songs…so cute…

Just another little known fact about two entertainers we dig from the Old School.

What This Girlfriends Actress Does Now

It’s been about fifteen years since most of us have seen the actress who played the flip talking semi-stuck up ‘Girlfriend,’ “Antoinette ‘Toni’ Marie Childs-Garrett.” Her real name is Jill Marie Jones and she brought a lotta character to the show.

In recent years, she’s continued to work, with her most recent roles being as a recurring character on the Fox series, Sleepy Hollow, and in a Starz horror-comedy series, titled, Ash vs Evil Dead.

Although Jill’s continued to appear in various projects, most of us Old Schoolers probably haven’t seen her lately, but she does, however make her presence known on social media with her regular Instagram posts.

Ageless Beauty

Checking her out now, there’s one thing that stands out about her: At 46 years old, she’s barely changed in fifteen years! In fact, she damn near looks the exact same way she did in 2006, when she last appeared on Girlfriends.

Jill Explains What Happened When She Met Diana Ross

Speaking of Jill’s Instagram posts, that’s where she once told a cool story about the time her Girlfriend co-star/real-life friend, Tracee Ellis Ross, surprised her by taking her to meet her mom, Diana Ross. Jill revealed how Diana has always been her idol, so she was blown away when Tracee pulled that surprise on her. She had nothing but beautiful things to say about their meeting though. Here’s what she described of that moment:

@itsmejillmarie: This Amazing Force & Talented Soul was the first black woman (brown like me) that I saw in a lead role in a film. #LadySingsTheBlues will always hold a special place for me. That’s when this little black girl from Texas knew that she could do that too …or at least try. @traceeellisross (my forever sister and Girlfriend) knew how much her moms legacy meant to me …so once when we were in New York (Upfronts) she says, “What are you doing tomorrow, are you flying back to LA?” I say, “No, I’m here for another week.” She says, “Do you wanna come to Greenwich for lunch tomorrow? My mom will be there.” I LOST MY SH**!!! One of the best gifts I’ve ever received. I remember sitting there (in their beautiful house of beautiful memories) trying to be cool but inside …I was going nuts!!! I’m meeting one of my idols! Who gets to do that?! Mind Blown! That was the first time I met this living Legend. Thank you T ❤ …and HAPPY BIRTHDAY Ms. D #DianaRoss ❤

Jill’s ‘losing her sh**’ reaction seems appropriate…’the boss’ Ms. Ross has a way of doing that to folks with her elegance and ever-iconic presence. Just ask India Arie…
