Unusual hook ups are nothing new in the Fox musical drama “Empire.”
In fact, there were some relationship that fans find ridiculous, most especially that one in the two-hour season finale. It is like the entire “Empire” TV series cast are shuffled to find who is the person this character is going to do next. Now that the show is on a break, fans won't see much of the characters hooking up.
In real life, however, it seems one more relationship between two “Empire” TV series characters is in the offing. A video was released by TMZ showing Grace Gealey And Trai Byers in a party.
Gealey plays Anika a.k.a. Boo Boo Kitty while Byers portrays Andre Lyon, the bipolar first son of Lucious (Terrence Howard) and Cookie (Taraji P. Henson).
In the video, the two “Empire” TV series cast are not that intimate and were not touchy on each other. However, TMZ theorizes they could be dating.
According to the Entertainment website, the party Gealey and Byers were in is a wedding of a friend. It is also said, quoting a source, “they were super affectionate at times, but still conscious people were looking.”
In the show, Gealey's character Anika has had a relationship with half of the Lyon family. She almost got married to Lucious but then got kicked out of the company and then slept with Lucious' youngest son Hakeem to revenge against her former partner.
Two down, two to go for Anika? The possibility of Anika getting the two other Lyons trapped in her web is pretty far-fetched. Andre is about to have a kid and Jamal (Jussie Smollett) is not into girls, especially to the one who betrayed his father. But of course, expect the unexpected in the hit musical drama just like what transpired in its first season.
As for Gealey and Byers' probable relationship, no one saw it coming. But they can continue what they have because they look good together.
