Was The Rising Singer Taylor Simone Chadwick's Long-Time Girlfriend?
Just like Chadwick's kingdom Wakanda in the 2018 movie - Black Panther, his dating life was pretty secluded from the rest of the world.
While he was often being spotted with a beautiful American singer, the actor never did his confirmation on the matter.
Late Chadwick's affair with Taylor Simone Ledward could go as back as 2015 when they were seen together for the first time at the L.A. International Airport.
After the rumored couple's first outing in 2015, they were spotted sharing each other's company on multiple occasions. The two were by one another's side outside of Jimmy Kimmel Live! studio located in Los Angeles in June 2017. Similarly, the duo also attended the after-party of Black Panther in February 2018.
In January 2019, the pair made their presence as dates at the Screen Actor Guild Awards.

Despite no confirmation from either Chadwick or his rumored girlfriend, Taylor's family members tended to think the duo's relationship as official. Her grandmother and sister have described the two as lovers but refrained from sharing any more info on their relationship.
In the absence of any public announcement on the romance, getting married seemed a far-fetched event for the actor and his singer counterpart. But, Chadwick never became a lucky guy to have Taylor as his wife and the mother of his kids. He had a sad demise on 28 August 2020.
Rest In Peace!
