They say love is a limitless, endless kinda thing…and in Erykah Badu’s case, it’s also an ageless kinda thing (as long as it’s of legal age, that is) . In case y’all haven’t heard, the legendary “Call Tyrone” songstress is out here livin’ her best life with the love of her life…who also happens to reportedly be about 3 to 4 years older than the son she shares with rap legend, Andre 3000.

Now, before the ‘oohs and ahhs’ start sounding off in the comment section, let us first give you all the full scope of Erykah’s and her boo-thang’s love…then you can sound off however you’d like 😊.

Meet Erykah Badu’s Much Younger Bae’…

His name is JaRon Adkison, and Erykah refers to him as “my love.” JaRon goes by the stage name, JaRon the Secret. Yep, that’s right…Erykah is staying true to what has been her preference in men for the past few decades. Just like her exes — Common, Andre 3000, Jay Electronica, and D.O.C. — JaRon has something in common with them all…he, too, is a music artist. Only difference is JaRon is an up-and-coming artist (by the way, he’s good at his craft, just like Erykah’s exes). In addition to being an artist, Jaron the Secret is also a music producer and shoe designer.

JaRon Was Approximately 2 – 3 Years Old When Badu Released Video For “Other Side Of The Game” Ft. Andre 3000?

So, how old is JaRon the Secret? Word on the Old School curb is that the brotha is 27 or 28 years old. According to Daily Mail’s report in December 2021, JaRon was 27 at that time. Therefore, he could possibly either have already turned 28; or will be making 28 this year (2022). That also means JaRon was approximately 2 or 3 years old when Erykah released her debut album, “Baduizm,” back in 1997, when we were vibin’ to hits like, “On & On,” and “Other Side Of The Game” (when she was pregnant with her and Andre 3000’s son, Seven, in that video).

The reason JaRon’s exact birth date is a mystery is because one look at his social media pages, or hell…even a search on Google, and it’s clear to see that JaRon and Erykah appear to intentionally keep any remnants of his birth year on the low…likely out of concern of online chatter about their reportedly 20+ year age difference.

At any rate, one glance at the happy couple, and one thing is clear – he’s a lot younger than Erykah. However, the two of them seem hella happy. They say opposites attract, and although Erykah and JaRon are like a May-December romance as far as age goes…they’re not so opposite in many other ways.

Their shared love of great music is prevalent, as is their love for the eclectic type of fashion that E. Badu has become known for throughout the years.

Is He Actually Her Fiancé Though?

In 2021, Erykah stirred up controversy when she posted a lovey-dovey photo (pictured above) of her and JaRon’s hands with matching green costume rings, along with a loving caption:

“Solar Eclipse Dump. Making room for many many many more memories. Right now , Moon covers the suns eyes forcing it to use other forms of vision. (Closes Eyes) I see you with my heart. I see you with my gut. Here’s to my GUY ✨& Setting intentions, Breathing easy, moving in unison, finely blended family harmonics. Thank you . Thank you . Thank you .
Happy to be here on this school called earth.. with you . ❤️ @jaronthesecret (family first 🤲🏾)” – Erykah Badu

Her caption, along with the rings caused many keen-eyed fans to presume that was their engagement announcement, with several media outlets also proclaiming the same.

Since neither Erykah, nor her bae’ have publicly stated that they are in fact engaged, we’ll simply leave that topic alone…and instead consider the brotha to just be her man…until proven otherwise.

Nevertheless, it’s cool to see Erykah Badu enjoying being in love. Sure, she’s doing so “Stella”-style, but hey…if she likes it, we love it. They are not hurting anybody…so let’s let Erykah be great and get her groove back. 🤷🏾‍♂️
