Taylor Rooks And Jesse Williams’ Relationship
Taylor Rooks and Jesse Williams were first spotted at a Kevin Hart comedy show in Atlantic City, New Jersey.
The actor’s love life has attracted a lot of speculation since he announced that he had filed for divorce from his wife. As such, when he was spotted with the sportscaster, the media lost their minds ad started to report heavily on the subject.
However, as per Jesse Williams’ modus operandi, he kept quiet about the relationship as much as possible, and Taylor Rooks did the same. An insider let slip that though the two are eager to keep their romance under wraps, Rooks has been a great solace for Williams while he’s going through a difficult divorce with Aryn Drake-Lee.
Williams and Rooks have kept their relationships under wrap surprisingly well, but it has gotten to the point where many questions if they are still together or not.
She does not appear on Williams’ social media, and the same is true and vice versa. Williams has been linked with many women since his relationship with Rooks became public back in 2018.
Some women he has been linked with are Taylor Paige, an actress most recently famous for appearing in Kendrick Lamar’s music video, We Cry Together, Minka Kelly, a prominent model, and most recently, Ciarra Pardo. Williams has often been seen with Ciarra Paro during official events, so signs point that he is probably in a relationship with her.

At the end of the day, until Rooks or Williams confirm it, their relationship remains a mystery.
Taylor Rooks’s Past Relationships
Not much is known about Taylor Rooks’s past relationships, but through a strange turn of events, it seems she is dating someone new.
Sources claim that she is dating Twitter co-founder Jack Dorsey as the two were spotted together leaving a Drake concert in West Hollywood. This concert took place this past February. Dorsey is a very popular figure in the tech world.
He is a 45-year-old entrepreneur and philanthropist who founded Twitter and served as its CEO until November 2021. Aside from Twitter, he has also founded Block, INC, a financial payments company.
With a net worth of $12 billion, Dorsey is quite successful and certainly a good match for the beautiful Taylor Rooks. Many fans have reacted negatively to the news of Rooks dating Dorsey due to the fact that they believe she is too attractive to be with him.
Many noted that Rooks has known such prominent figures as rappers Drake and Quavo and actor Michael B Jordan, all popular figures that have a large fanbase of women, yet she chose to go home with Jack Dorsey. However, a lot of fans have been happy about the alleged relationship as well, stating that Rooks is a beautiful and attractive woman who can do whatever she wants.
Regardless of what people think, there doesn’t seem to be much truth in the matter as nothing has come up of it, and Rooks nor Dorsey have announced anything supporting the allegations of a relationship on either of their social media.
Perhaps Rooks is still with Williams, or she doesn’t feel like posting about her relationships. At the end of the day, only Rooks knows what’s up.
