Everyone has that one date that they will always remember and wish they could forget. From everyday people to celebrities like Regina Hall, no one is exempt from a bad date. The Honk for Jesus actress recounted the worst date she’s ever had during a recent appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live.
She revealed that she was set up on a blind date by a friend to help her “walk into her femininity.”
“She sets me up on a date and we got in an argument the very, very, very first time and last time we went on a date,” she said. What did they argue about? The one thing that most couples (and in this case two singles) argue about. Money.
“He said if he gets married, he didn’t want his wife to work,” she explained. “And I was like, what if your wife wants to work? And he said, ‘no.’ So then I said, what if your wife, what if I want a job to buy you an expensive watch or a car and he said, ‘well we can’t spend over $500 on a gift unless we discuss it with each other.’ And then I said then it’s not a surprise.”
She continued to question her date about his thinking regarding his future wife not working and noticed that he was beginning to contradict himself.

“This is where it got confusing. He says to me because that money should go towards the children. If we have kids,” she said. “And I said, you weren’t counting on my money anyway so why does my money have to go towards the kids? I’m supposed to not even be working. Now you’re already counting on my money to go on children that I don’t want.”
While the blind date didn’t go so well for the Girls Trip star, the guy did ask her out again. “He did call me to go out again, but I knew there was no future,” she admitted.
At 51, Regina has had a famed career in Hollywood. However, she has managed to keep her relationships under wraps. During her appearance on the late-night talk show, she didn’t share whether she was dating but she did mention the status of her DMs.
“I used to check them and they were like unsolicited penises,” she revealed. “I would open them just to be like, ‘oh’ and then…a lot of people were free with themselves.”

“Your circle is everything,” Reginae shares with a smile, and she’s not wrong. She’s all about creating spaces where we can come together, let our hair down, and vibe with like-minded women. “We deserve spaces to meet, uplift, and vibe with each other. BLK is making that happen,” she adds.
A New Era for Friendships—Social Mode Is Here!
Gen Z is all about building meaningful connections, whether it’s with a date or a new brunch buddy. That’s why Social Mode is such a big deal. Research shows that 65% of Gen Z values friendships just as much as romantic relationships. With BLK’s new feature, users can easily toggle between “Dating” and “Social,” opening up a world of platonic connections—no swiping right required.

Reginae Carter Hosts the Ultimate Girls’ Night In—Powered by BLK Social Mode
What better way to show Social Mode in action than with an exclusive Girls’ Night In, hosted by Reginae? The event brought together top influencers, tastemakers, and press for a night of luxury, self-care, and real talk about love, sex, and relationships. From tarot readings to perfume-making and signature cocktails, the evening embodied the “soft life” vibe that many Black women are embracing in 2025—peaceful, intentional, and full of joy.
Guests mingled, laughed, and bonded over the importance of finding a tribe that supports you. It wasn’t just about fun (although there was plenty of that!)—it was about creating a circle of inspiring, strong women. “We need to stick together. We need to be each other’s village,” Reginae says, emphasizing the power of community over competition.
Sisterhood: The Real MVP
For Reginae, it’s all about friendship—and not just the surface-level kind. “We need friends who keep it real with us. The ones who can tell us when we’re right, when we’re wrong, and when we need to calm down,” she says. As someone who navigates the spotlight, she’s got the best of both worlds: friends who understand the grind and those who can give her an honest, grounded perspective.
Her advice for building strong, intentional friendships? “Be confident in yourself and know your worth,” she explains. “Also, hurt people hurt people, so make sure you’re coming from a good place when you’re building relationships. It’s not always about being nice—sometimes it’s about being real.”
Reginae couldn’t have summed it up better: “When you have the right circle, the right tribe, everything just feels easier. And that’s exactly what BLK is giving us—space to connect, laugh, and grow with each other.”
