On May 5, Bravo announced their new dating show, “King’s Court,” set to premiere on July 13 at 9 p.m.
Fans will see Tyson Beckford, Carlos Boozer, and Thaddeus Bullard go on dates with multiple women who are hoping to make a romantic connection.
The show will be hosted by Holly Robinson Peete and her longtime husband Rodney Peete, with whom she shares four children.
In the trailer, Beckford states, “I don’t care what nobody says. Dating a celebrity is very hard. Women have a hard time trusting me.”
“I have met so many women who will like, recite my stats,” former NBA player Boozer says. “But I want somebody that wants to get to know me.”
Bullard is seen telling the camera, “I’m 6,’5, 280 pounds, yeah, I’m very intimidating to a lot of people, until someone gets to know me and they realize Thaddeus is a pretty sweet guy.”
The trailer promises plenty of drama between the ladies vying for the men. So, who are Beckford, Boozer, and Bullard? Here’s everything to know about the three new stars of “King’s Court.”
Tyson Beckford
Tyson Beckford (54) is a Jamaican-American model who rose to fame in the early ’90s as the face of Ralph Lauren’s Polo line.
In 1995, he earned a spot on People’s list of the “50 Most Beautiful People in the World,” as well as the “Sexiest Man Alive” in 2013.
After being catapulted into fame as a model, Beckford made appearances in movies, such as “Zoolander” and “Into the Blue.”
He also lent his expertise on “Britain’s Next Top Model” from 2011-2013, and competed in “Dancing With the Stars” season 32, where he was eliminated after the third episode.
Beckford was previously married to a woman named Berniece Julien in 2009 but they divorce the same year.
He shares his now-adult son Jordan with his ex, April Roomet, who works as a makeup artist. “I can’t take all the credit. I can take just the gentleman side of it, the father’s side of it, but he has an incredible mom,” he told Us Weekly in 2020.
As for what he’s looking for in a woman, he once shared with Page Six, “I am looking for my Beyoncé, my Rihanna.”

Boozer has been married twice — first to Cindy Nichole Blackwell in 2003 who he divorced in 2015, and then to Aneshka Dawn Smith who he married in 2017 until they split in 2021.
Boozer and Blackwell share three kids together, Carmani, and twins Cameron and Cayden.

Bullard was once married and has sons Thaddeus Jr. and Titus, as well as his daughter Leah.
He posted of his complicated relationship with his ex in 2020 on Instagram. “I have never had any desire to be back with my ex wife and our relationship has never been good. Yesterday was the first time she stepped foot inside of my home in 10 years,” he wrote.
The former pro wrestler continued, “We still will never be back together, but our kids deserve this day and we both owed it to them … I’ll Always Love her and Honor her as the Mother of my children. I may not like her sometimes, but she gave me the Honor of being a Father to TWO Healthy and Amazing Sons and I am Grateful and Thankful everyday to be A FATHER!!!!”
