Tisha Never Had A Real Date?!

While chatting on Angela Yee’s ‘Lip Service’ podcast, one of the cohosts asked Tisha when she thought was the best time to date, suggesting maybe it was back in the ‘90s. But that’s when Tisha dropped the bomb: she’s never been on a “real date.” She revealed that she practically skipped the entire dating experience altogether. Now that she’s single and stepping into a new chapter, fans are already calling for someone to give this legend the first date she’s always deserved—because honestly, how has this not happened yet?!

“I’ve never really been asked on a proper date by a man… in my life,” Tisha revealed as the hosts were shocked. “I always had boyfriends. So, I went from boyfriend, boyfriend, to marriage… so I always had boyfriends, and I don’t have a long roster. I don’t have a, you know, a long roster — a long body count… She whole dating thing is all new.”

The Internet Can’t Believe This

Chile, folks wasted no time running to Lip Service’s comment section to sound off. Some were straight-up shocked, others had questions on questions, and a bunch of people said, “lowkey… same.” Tisha really hit a nerve with this one, and the comments are giving group therapy meets group chat.

One Instagram user @nicolejglass said, “She really was the IT girl, still is but I can see what she means ..men were really waiting to be her man back then lol“

This Instagram user @candaceofspades joked, “Relatable lol“

Meanwhile, Instagram user @righteous_walk13 wrote, “Someone needs to step to Tisha…ask her out on date , bring flowers 💐 and make her laugh , she her joy and kindness and feed her a wonderful meal.“

While, Instagram user @manifesting_nessa commented, “Dating is alot of fun.. until it isnt“

Instagram user @necianaicen said, “There are lots of people who don’t actually do the courting part of dating. It’s straight from ‘I like you’, see you sometimes in your element, then we start doing trial run marriage stuff. I see where she coming from.“

And, Instagram user @endlessdreads asked, “So, did your boyfriends take you out on a date prior to becoming the title!?“

Tisha Recently Got Real While Speaking On Her Previous Marriage

Tisha Campbell got all the way real on ‘The Breakfast Club’ on July 9, opening up about one of the darkest financial moments in her life. When Charlamagne Tha God brought up the time she was down to her last $21, Tisha didn’t hold back—sharing how she and then-husband Duane Martin were struggling to provide for their two sons, Xen and Ezekiel.

The emotional moment hit even harder when Tisha revealed that their joint bankruptcy case—filed all the way back in 2016—just closed last year, in July 2024. She admitted she’s still trying to piece together how things spiraled, saying, “I don’t really understand how we went through the bankruptcy, honestly.” While she sees the closure as a kind of fresh start, Tisha made it clear she’s still processing it all—but one thing’s for sure: her honesty about the struggle has fans rallying around her strength.
