One misspelled search can drop you into two very different worlds. “April Jones” still surfaces a Welsh true-crime case, while “Apryl Jones” leads to the Love & Hip Hop: Hollywood cast member and Taye Diggs’ ex. A single vowel is the only thing separating a news archive from a celebrity-gossip rabbit hole.
Celebrity spelling: Apryl Jones, not April · Known for: Love & Hip Hop: Hollywood · Children: 2 · Publicly known exes: Omarion and Taye Diggs · Lookalike name: April Jones (murdered Welsh child, 2012)
Quick snapshot
- No formal breakup announcement was released; 2024 coverage referred to a quiet split, per Black news outlet Atlanta Black Star.
- Official net worth and exact height have never been confirmed. (Atlanta Black Star)
- By 2025, Black lifestyle publication rolling out described Taye Diggs as single since the quiet 2023 split.
- The relationship itself was public, but the ending was not formally announced. (rolling out)
- The spelling rule matters: “Apryl” for entertainment coverage, “April” for the 2012 Wales case.
- Watch for official confirmation of any new relationship; neither party has made a formal statement.
Six facts, one pattern: search engines keep flattening two unrelated names into a single query.
| Label | Value |
|---|---|
| Celebrity name | Apryl Jones |
| Known for | Love & Hip Hop: Hollywood (Black-culture outlet Essence) |
| Children and father | 2 — Megaa Omari and A’mei Kazuko Grandberry, both with singer Omarion (entertainment database IMDb) |
| Common misspelling | April Jones |
| Namesake | A separate 2012 child case in Wales |
| Source of confusion | Identical pronunciation and a one-letter spelling difference |
What Happened to April Jones and Taye Diggs?
First, the correction: the woman connected to actor Taye Diggs is Apryl Jones, not April Jones. Apryl is a reality-TV personality and singer, and her relationship with Diggs was public but short.
The public timeline is not a long tabloid saga. It started in early 2022 and faded by 2023, with no grand announcement — just coverage that slowly referred to them as exes.
Why did Taye Diggs and April Jones split?
- Jones has said the split involved therapy and communication-style differences, and that the relationship lasted about a year and some change (Black-culture outlet Essence).
- A 2024 report described the separation as quiet, with no official announcement from either side (Atlanta Black Star).
Who all did April Jones date?
- Singer Omarion — the father of both her children (entertainment database IMDb).
- Actor Taye Diggs — the public relationship ran from early 2022 into 2023.
- No marriage to either appears in the public record.
The implication: the dating history is compact, and the breakup looks more like compatibility than scandal.
Type “April Jones” for celebrity gossip and you will fight a search engine that keeps returning a child murder case. Context is the only reliable filter.
How Many Kids Did April Jones Get?
Apryl Jones has two children. Both have the surname Grandberry, which is singer Omarion’s family name, according to entertainment database IMDb.
A 2020 profile from Nigerian entertainment outlet Legit.ng placed her son Megaa’s birth on Aug. 7, 2014, and her daughter A’mei’s birth on March 7, 2016. Those dates are reported dates, not official records.
Who is April Jones’ daughter’s father?
- Public bios list singer Omarion as the father of both children, not Taye Diggs.
- If you have seen Taye Diggs named that way, it appears to be search-engine mashup logic, not a public-bio detail.
Both children’s recorded surname is Grandberry — Omarion’s name. That is why the “Taye Diggs is the father” version does not line up with public bios.
Is Apryl Jones married?
- No public reporting in the reviewed sources describes Jones as married.
- Taye Diggs was previously married to Idina Menzel, and they share a son, Walker Nathaniel, per rolling out.
The pattern: the child-related facts are stable — two kids, one father, no wedding on the record.
What’s April Jones’ Net Worth?
There is no official or audited net worth figure for Apryl Jones. Her fame comes from reality TV and music, but that does not mean a credible number is on file anywhere.
What is Apryl Jones known for?
- Love & Hip Hop: Hollywood is the credit that follows her name in most coverage.
- Entertainment database IMDb describes her as a reality-TV personality and entertainer.
- She is also widely discussed because of her relationship history.
No financial filing, no reliable number. Any exact net worth figure you see is an estimate, not a ledger.
The trade-off: a reality-TV career brings visibility, but it does not automatically bring transparent finances.
What Ethnicity Is April Jones?
Apryl Jones is described in entertainment profiles as an African-American woman from Chicago. A 2020 profile from Legit.ng put the bio details in circulation.
How tall is April Jones?
- Height is not a confirmed public statistic.
- Profile pages list approximate figures that vary; treat them as unofficial trivia.
Why this matters: background details get repeated until they look official. In this case, the ethnicity and city have stayed consistent even though no verified celebrity dossier exists.
Is April Jones in a Relationship?
After the split with Taye Diggs, there is no confirmed new long-term relationship in the public record. In September 2024, Black news outlet Atlanta Black Star reported that Jones stepped out with a mystery man amid breakup coverage, but the report did not call it an official relationship.
Meanwhile, a 2025 profile from Black lifestyle publication rolling out described Diggs as single since the quiet 2023 split, so neither side appears to be in a public romantic partnership.
Did April Jones cut her hair?
- This is social-media territory, not news-biography territory: no formal profile in the reviewed sources tracks a haircut as a recorded event.
- Reality-TV audiences follow appearance changes closely, so a single post can become a search query.
Did Apryl Jones lose weight?
- No public statement from Jones describes a formal weight-loss plan in the reviewed sources.
- Appearance-related conversation around public figures is usually photo-driven, not medical or verified.
The takeaway: “Is she dating?” has a source-based answer. “Did she cut her hair?” is social-media chatter wearing a news headline’s clothes.
Timeline signal: Apryl Jones and Taye Diggs
- Early 2022 to 2023: Jones and Diggs were publicly linked; the relationship quietly ended, per Essence.
- May 2024: Diggs opened up about post-breakup exhaustion, telling celebrity news outlet ENSTARZ he had no energy for dating.
- September 2024: Atlanta Black Star reported Jones stepping out with a mystery man amid breakup coverage.
- 2025: rolling out described Diggs as single since the 2023 split.
The pattern: the timeline is short, and every major beat happened without a formal announcement.
What’s Confirmed and What’s Still Unclear
Confirmed facts
- Apryl Jones is the correct spelling for the reality-TV personality linked to Taye Diggs.
- She has two children, both with Omarion, according to the public bio cited above.
- No formal breakup announcement marked the end of the Diggs relationship.
What’s unclear
- The exact split reason, beyond Jones’s comments about communication styles.
- Whether any new relationship is serious.
- Official net worth and exact height.
The distinction matters: confirmed facts have sources; unclear items do not yet have documents, filings, or confirmed statements.
In Their Own Words
“We mutually decided to end the relationship and remain friends while being great parents to their children.”
Apryl Jones, in an Instagram message reported by celebrity news outlet ENSTARZ
Taye Diggs said he had no energy for dating after the breakup.
Taye Diggs, as reported by ENSTARZ
Two things stand out in these statements: the split was framed as mutual, and the post-breakup mood was tired, not dramatic.
For anyone using “April Jones” to find celebrity news, the practical fix is a one-letter habit: type A-p-r-y-l. For anyone searching the Welsh case, the original spelling is the correct one. Search engines are not fact-checkers — they are mirrors of whatever we typed. For readers in the UK and beyond, the consequence is simple: one missing vowel can drop you into another person’s story entirely.
