threads he markets.
Henson is super proud of her only child and the job she has done. More than often, the mother of one glorifies his talents via her online posts, signifying that she admires her baby's progress.
MOTHER AND SON'S BOND
Henson is a mother who admires her son and has a binding relationship with him. Apart from honoring him on special events like birthdays and gushing on his achievements online, she also dotes on her mini-me on some holidays.
Recently, the "Empire" star shared several snaps of Marcell as a child and others that featured them together, both wearing infectious smiles across their faces and showing their likeness— they share similar facial features.
Henson's twin looked handsome, all grown, and comfortable being in the company of his mother. The accompanying caption read:
"Happy #nationalsonday...my heart my love my baby forever!! #grateful #blessed."
Thousands of fans liked the snap, while others praised the young man's looks and bond between the pair. Some fans even thought it was a birthday message and wished Marcell a "Happy Birthday."
WHO WAS HENSON'S BABY DADDY?
The actress met Marcell's father during her teenage years. They dated for a few years before welcoming their first and only child.
Before welcoming their son, Johnson felt insecure, and it strained their relationship; they later broke up. He had dated two other women and had kids with them.
But Henson and Johnson reconciled, then Marcell was born. However, this did help strengthen their relationship, as the stress of a newborn, constant work, and dealing with her lover's disappearance made it hard to cope. They began having issues that deteriorated into physical fights.
Despite Johnson's absence after the couple split, he loved his son, and when he was around, Johnson made time for his child; he would spend time bonding and playing games with young Marcell.
In 2003, he was involved in an altercation after he confronted a couple, Charlotte and Russell Nickelson, over a slashed tire. He accused them of punching his friend's tire, and the argument escalated.
It resulted in a physical fight, where the couple hit and stabbed him several times. Eventually, the police were called to the scene, but an hour later, William succumbed to his injuries. The perpetrators were put behind bars for only a few years, while the family of the deceased were left to mourn their dead.
IS HENSON A LYING MOM?
After her lover's death, Henson cared for her son passionately and did not want any harm to befall him. She did not even know how to tell him the news.
In an interview, she told a reporter that she lied to her child and told him his daddy died in an accident; he was nine at the time. Years later, Marcell found out the truth and confronted his mom, who emotionally gave up the whole truth. The duo sought therapy afterward.
Despite the lie, these two have established a close-knit relationship that can not be broken by anything. They have been through the toughest/saddest times, and overcome several challenging situations, thanks to the love and support from each other.
Henson was able to juggle her career and responsibilities at home without any problems in both spheres, making her a real-life superhero and super mom worthy of emulation.
