Exclusive: #BlackInkCHI’s Ryan Henry Talks New 9Mag Opening, His Ponytail Inspiration, And Life After Rachel Relationship Fizzled

BOSSIP: We know you like to keep some things private…but on the season premiere of “Black Ink Chicago”, you shared with everyone that you’re now single. Are we going to be seeing you dating this season?

RH: I’m not a dating type of cat. People saw I planned on marrying the mother of my kids [Rachel], the first love of mine. Per some f*cks up, that didn’t allow the relationship to continue; I didn’t choose to be single by choice. I had a lot of things that weren’t right with me. I was ready to get married, I ain’t trynna be somebody’s boyfriend right now. I ain’t gotta get out here and mess with all these chicks, that’s for some late bloomers. I’ve been messing with chicks all my life.

BOSSIP: Did you have any New Years resolutions this year?

RH: Be consistent in the things that I learned about myself that need to be fixed. I was at work New Year’s Eve and New Year’s day, working on the things I need to for myself.
