Leonard Robinson Talks The Final Season of ‘Insecure’
We hate to see ‘Insecure’ go, but we love to watch it leave with a bang! The fan-favorite HBO series is making its final round. Season 5 promises to be nothing short of amazing, at least that’s what Leonard Robinson, who portrays Taurean, Molly’s lawyer colleague on the show, wants everyone to know.
Robinson joined the critically acclaimed series in its third season. Seeing the series approach its conclusion is bittersweet, but, as they say, all good things must come to an end.
Catch the new episodes of Insecure’s final season on HBO and HBO Max.
HM: How did you become a part of the Insecure family? Was it something you were chasing, or did it just come to you?
LR: A little bit of both actually, I was aware of Issa’s web series, and then when I saw there was going to be a show, I had an instinct that this could be something really good. A month later, longer than a month, an audition came in, and I made it a priority. I did not get the role I auditioned for – I originally auditioned for Lawrence. Then, after the pilot, I auditioned for Chad, and then for another season auditioned for Quentin, who became Daniel, and also for Nathan. The thing about Taurean, the role that I got, was that there was no audition at that point. My belief is what is for you is for you, so you don’t have to really do too much other than just show up and then enjoy what’s yours.
HM: Your character Taurean on the show is kind of stand-offish, straightforward, very career-oriented. How easy or hard is it for you to play him?
LR: When I got the role, there was not much I could go off of. It was the briefest description – ‘lawyer at a law firm Molly works at.’ The funny thing is some of my friends said, ‘yes, it’s you.’ I gave a little push back; I said, “Oh come on, I’m definitely acting.” They said, “no, that’s you.” So I guess it’s not that hard to play him.
HM: There are fans of the show who theorize about how Molly and Taurean are a great match. It feels like once they get to know each other better, they could have a great connection. What can you say about that? Without giving out too much, do you agree with this theory?
LR: I guess you gotta ask yourself what kind of person does Molly really need. Does she need somebody who is similar to her in a lot of ways? With a lot of relationships – what makes it successful is the blend of finding somebody who pushes you, understands you, and doesn’t judge you. Someone who appreciates you for you. At the same time, somebody who’s nothing like you sometimes works. But everybody has something different. I guess we’ll just have to wait and see what happens.
HM: We often talk about shows that end too early. And in this case, it feels like ‘Insecure’ might be ending at its prime. What are your thoughts on it concluding now? Do you think that it could’ve run longer?
LR: Yeah, there’s a ‘leave when you’re on top’ theory, and there’s also the ‘let’s complete the story’ mentality. I think for Issa Rae, who had a vision of where these characters would go, she completed that vision. The great thing about it is that it will stand as this piece that was so impactful to a lot of people – not just as a source of entertainment, but [something] important to the culture. She did it in her timeframe and the way she wanted to do it. I think that’s great.
HM: What did you like the most about working with Issa Rae and the rest of the ‘Insecure’ team?
LR: If I had to pick one thing it’s just knowing that I’m on a show that did so much to uplift the culture and celebrate Black people. In the entertainment business, so many people’s careers started on ‘Insecure,’ then furthered beyond ‘Insecure,’ and I think it’s just a wonderful thing.
Batwoman‘s star Javicia Leslie is engaged!
The 37-year-old shared the exciting news via Instagram earlier today with a caption that reads, “An answered prayer.”
According to his bio, Leslie’s now-fiancé, Nana-Yaw Asamoah, is a New York native and a sports and entertainment executive. He currently serves as the Chief Commercial Officer of AMB Sports and Entertainment.
While the couple’s romantic relationship has not been public until now, Leslie has been open about being bisexual. In fact, she is the first Black and queer woman to play the aforementioned DC’s superhero.
During an interview on E! News’ Daily Pop, the actress shared that her role in the CW series inspired her to come out to her mom. “For me, I never felt like I had to hide anything,” Leslie said. “That wasn’t really where I was coming from. I just hadn’t had a conversation, so I just wanted to talk to my mom about it because I was living my life. I just wanted to be able to talk to her so she didn’t have to be told through the media.”
According to the shared Instagram post, Asamoah proposed to Leslie in Napa Valley, at what appears to be a winery, in front of a beautiful mountain backdrop. Friends, family, and fans flooded the comment section with congratulations and best wishes to the couple. We are joining in as well!
Lauren Speed-Hamilton and Cameron Hamilton, beloved stars of Netflix’s Love Is Blind Season 1, have announced they are expecting their first child, a milestone following a four-year fertility journey. The couple, who charmed millions of fans with their love story, shared the joyful news earlier this week, via an Instagram video and an exclusive People interview, revealing their baby is due in fall 2025.
The Hamiltons’ path to parenthood was marked by challenges, including multiple rounds of in vitro fertilization (IVF). Cameron, 34, described the emotional moment they saw “pregnant” on a Clearblue test: “We were counting down the days… it was a huge moment.” Lauren, 37, shared that she “fell to her knees and cried,” calling the news a “relief” after years of anxiety-inducing tests. The announcement came shortly after the loss of Lauren’s father in December 2024, making it a bittersweet “light in the darkness” for their family.
The couple, married since November 2018, has been open about their fertility struggles on their podcast, The Love Seat.
Lauren, now in her second trimester, is navigating cravings for cheese and fruit, with Cameron as her steadfast supporter. They look forward to reliving childhood through their baby, with Lauren excited for “Disney on Ice and the zoo.” As they prepare for parenthood, the Hamiltons continue to inspire with their love and resilience, proving that their Love Is Blind connection remains unbreakable.
Congratulations to the happy couple!
Taylour Paige-Angulo shared that she is expecting her first child with her husband, fashion designer Rivington Angulo, earlier today.
The announcement, made official through a captionless Instagram post, featured Paige-Angulo in a white dress that beautifully highlighted her baby bump. This milestone comes after a deeply personal journey, including a decades-long battle with endometriosis, which the ‘Zola’ actress openly discussed on social media.
Paige-Angulo’s pregnancy reveal follows her first public hint at the Essence Black Women in Hollywood Awards on February 27, where she debuted her (hidden) baby bump in a chic brown dress. A TikTok video captured her chatting with fellow actors Meagan Good and Jonathan Majors.
Behind Taylour’s joyful announcement lies a challenging history with endometriosis, a condition where tissue similar to the uterine lining grows outside the uterus, often causing severe pain and fertility issues. The actress has been candid about her struggle, which went undiagnosed for 20 years. In an emotional Instagram post on March 4, 2025, during Endometriosis Awareness Month, she described it as a “lifelong journey of healing” and a “really violent illness” that brought “agony and turmoil.” She recounted debilitating symptoms—pain so intense it made her “see stars,” monthly vomiting, and times she couldn’t drive.
In fall 2023, Paige-Angulo underwent a four-hour surgery to remove endometrial tissue. Reflecting on the experience, she wrote, “So many women are going THROUGH it okay. Be gentle with us.”
The Angulos tied the knot on October 5, 2022, on Paige’s 32nd birthday. Their intimate ceremony unfolded at the Wattles Mansion in Los Angeles. The couple’s romance had blossomed quickly after meeting during the pandemic at a party hosted by a mutual friend. Paige-Angulo later recalled how Angulo’s energy felt like “home” from the start. For the occasion, she wore a custom sheer white gown designed by her then-fiance. The event was attended by close friends, including a notable appearance by Rihanna, adding a touch of star power to the heartfelt affair. Paige-Angulo described the day on Instagram as “the greatest day of my life.”
Congratulations to the happy couple!
