Terrence Howard’s Girlfriend Revealed?
Ever since Terrence Howard told Essence that he has a girlfriend of two and a half years, people have been searching for information on her. In the spirit of giving the people what they want, Entertainmentrundown.com has done some research and this is what we came up with: Terrence appears to dating actress Zulay Henao. Now, he said his girfriend’s name is Nandi and she’s an actress. Not sure if Nandi is a nick name he has for Zulay, or if Nandi is a different person altogether. He also said Nandi is a “sister” and Zulay is Latina which equals “sister” for many people.
Howard is listed as Zulay’s boyfriend since 2007 on Whosdatedwho.com and we have a picture of them attending Kennedy Center Honors State Department dinner.
Who is Zulay (pronounce Zoo li) Henao? The Latina actress Zulay Henao premiered onscreen in the late 2000s with a small role in the gritty, urban-oriented drama Illegal Tender (2007) before ascending to much higher billing opposite hip-hop star Omari Grandberry in the musical drama Feel the Noise (2007). She also appears in Grizzly Park (2008).
Below is an interview with the cast of Grizzly Park that Zulay appears in.
An article in Papermag has the followiing article on Zulay:
For Reggaeton producer J.Lo, riding the 6 train was tough. But compared to the life experiences of the film’s female lead, that’s nothing. Zulay Henao’s resume assures casting agents that she can act, dance and fire a weapon. After high school the spunky Colombian beauty joined the 44th Army Brigade at Fort Bragg, North Carolina. “It helped me in my career today. People often don’t have that thing inside of them that says, ‘Time doesn’t wait for you.’ You have to really know what you want and go after it.” Afterwards, the New York and New Jersey raised actress came back from the barracks to the big city and attended HB Studio and the School for Film and Television. Less than a year after graduation, she got her “first real job” in Reggaeton, which will be released next year. The film celebrates its title’s musical genre and is the first venture for Sony BMG Film, which is co-producing the film with J.Lo. “I’ve always wanted to work with Jennifer Lopez,” says Henao. “It’s so funny that the first film I worked on she produced. I thought, ‘All right, that works for me.’”
The movie is about a rapper (played by B2K crooner Omarion) who gets in trouble with a gang and escapes to Puerto Rico — home of his estranged father. Henao plays his street-savvy love interest. “She’s a sassy, sexy girl who knows what she wants,” Henao says. “It wasn’t much of a stretch!” She can also be seen next spring in Franc Reyes’s Illegal Tender. When we spoke, she had just come from an audition; getting the part would have meant leaving for Morocco the next day. But she insisted it was no sweat either way: “You have to know there are things that are for you and there are things that aren’t for you. If someone else gets the part, I’ll be like, ‘Oh, good for her,’ because that’s going to be a cool trip.” Source
So is Zulay “Nandi” or is “Nandi” still a mystery? Only Terrence Howard knows for sure.

They spelled it wrong. The name is Nandy sister to Maya (The Twinz). They are both in his video. He said on Ellen that he has about 4 girlfrinds, so maybe he just likes them all.
terrence howard is the biggiest player
trust me, i know someone who he played last year
hes such a con-artist
and i agree with christine “he just likes them all” he probably is talking to 4 girls like he said on ellen or maybe even more.
Terrence was dating Nandi,(Nandi McClean) that is – One of the Twinz aka one of Prince’s dancers. Also, known to be dating Stephanie Abrams of Shine Through it…. Also trying to date Neomie Lenoir from Victoria Secret. Ho, Ho. Ho
i agree with you Christine he did say he was dating about four women and this isnt something that i just read online he was on Ellen’s showing saying that. Nandi is in his video of sanctury and i believe he is with stephanie because she was at the awards shows with him, i work at the hotel in the city and i spotted him walking in with a girl she was obviously unknown too but she looked young she had long black curly hair. I guess terrence does like them all.
Melissa: That may have been the lady that plays guiter with him (ilsey juber). She’s very young.
I was very very shocked at what happend on the Red carpet at the Globes, though. They have the video of people walking in, and TH left Stephanie behind, like he was angry. Waived off photogrphers, no smiles. I’m sad for her, as a women, she’s clearly “trying”. Sad for him, ’cause there’s a lot going on. I always say that in the heart of every monster, there’s a good man wanting to get out.
CHRISTINE: nope it wasnt isley juber ive seen mr.howard and isley juber in hes video in sanctuary and performing in the letterman show but that was def not Isley. This girl was thin looked middle eastern i believe so im not sure all i know is she looked young and she had black curly hair. Mr. Howard walked in hes charming def eye candy !!
I’m just doing research for a school paper (“Reading Pictures”) otherwise I would not pay much attention. But, of the pics I’ve seen, he has little or avoids and seems reluct. in front of photogs. to have any “physical” contact with Stephanie at all. One pic on Jezebel has her walking behind him, and they don’t look “together”. She’s in the background in a lot of pics. over the last few months, (she’s lost a lot of weight) So, maybe he just wants to keep the relationship a secret until he’s sure she’s “the one” or that his career can handle that he’s married again. Just hope he’s happy whatever happens.
Later-
Chris
I can’t believe the talk about Mr. Terrence Its crazy before terrence wouldn’t ever be seen with girls now he is being spotted with all these girls : zulay henao, nandy mcclean, stephanie and now this mysterious middle-eastern girl with curly hair. Oh well whatever floats he’s boat. I still like him.
very nice and informative site. I really had a great time reading some of you post.. keep it up and looking forward to read more soon.
i heard hes marrying her well thats what the rumor is. i guess we just sit back & watch to see if its true or false. i heard this man is a douche-bag he seems like a player from all the comments i read that people left. ALL those girls that he was spotted were played by him if hes with zulay.
Great Post I love this site… Thanks
forget terrence she got to star in a movie STAR IN A MOVIE
WITH OMARION OMARION OMARION OMARION
and KISS HIM
terrence you lucky you playin around she could of
followed him and been all up
ON OMARI’S D*CK
THAT FINE ASS CARMEL COMPLECTED MAN
He’s a douche bag all he does is have girls go down on him ( statment from made by one the girls he was “dating” )
Gross, but makes sense. That way, (1) no one can trick him by getting pregnant (2) he can avoid getting germs from all those “dates”. I bet he’s really sweet once you break through all the craziness…
So on youtube, there is a little vid. of him behind the scenes at the ST awards. He said that he had to “jump” as his fiancee told him “bleep you” as a text message. Well we know it is not Zulay, and I can see now why he does not want anyone else to know who she is either. And this is the woman he wants to marry and help raise his daughters. Wow…
Even though it has already been stated, this “Mandi” is in fact Australian actress/dancer/singer Mandy McLean, twin sister to Maya McLean (aka the “Twinz”). Terrence cheated on her though, and they separated. She wrote a song about it called “This Is Goodbye”. I saw her and her sister live last night and she sung that song, explaining it was about her “first heart break”. I was sitting next to the twins’ nephew and he told me that this “ex” was actually Terrence Howard!
Oops, just correcting my mistake of typing “Mandy” when it is actually “Nandy” – sorry about that!
I heard that song, and “Turn Me Lose”, which are both very good!! They both (The Twinz) seem so sweet. Nandy must be heartbroken. You know, maybe he was getting very serious about her, felt ready to settle down and just got cold feet. Ms. “Italy” seems jealous and mean, so maybe he’ll go back to Nandy in 2010..I wish them both the best.
Oh my God this man is a animal. You know you hear so many stories about celeberties but this by far is the most disturbing. I must admit very interesting posts. Doesnt this man have three children ? Two daughters and a son ? I feel awful he may be a great parent but he doesnt seem like such a great man overral he calls himself a Jehovah Witness he gives them a bad name.
I just read the Journal all I have to say is its not hard out here for this pimp . I do feel bad for the ladies.
LADIES : miss – stephanie, nandy, middle eastern , ilsey juber whoever else he pimpin or was pimpin forget the playa he no good.
I was once seeing this man. He is nothing but trouble, he has broken my heart, he is a player. KARMA will get him ladies him during his interviews is all an act, he’s acting will eat him alive. This man will get what he deserves he is also a s e x addict dont be surprised if hes story comes out like tiger woods.
I’d love to hate, but I think hs’e already married to the lady he was with in Italy, and God bless her if she loves him enough to be step-mom and nuture children that are not hers. Let’s pray that he’s not hitting people anymore, that he works out his issues with himself (and the IRS) and that it works out for all of them. If he left home at 16, I don’t think he’s had many good role models of how to treat woman, so let’s hope he learns with his new wife.
The middle eastern girl is my friend iram, she is such a sweet girl.
I always told her not to involve herself with such a coward..oh wells, hes not what you girls think. Overall I do like hes acting dont have anything against him but he is a player.
