According to Cox, she is leaving E! Live to feature in a new comedy series called “Clean Slate.” Cox’s announcement comes days before the 2025 awards season officially kicks off on Sunday, January 5, 2025, with the Golden Globes in Los Angeles. 

Consequently, Cox will not be available to cover the red carpet for the 82nd Golden Globe Awards on Sunday, January 5, 2025. In her place, comedian Heather McMahan and Zuri Hall of Access Hollywood will host the red-carpet event, which starts at 6 p.m. ET.

What’s Next for Laverne Cox’s Career?

Addressing her departure and future endeavors, Cox said, “I’m so excited to keep growing, evolving, and exploring great opportunities as an actress, artist, host, and speaker. I hope you’ll all continue to go with me on my evolving journey. Tune into my new comedy series, “Clean Slate,” premiering on Amazon Prime on February 6.”

Is Laverne Cox in a Relationship?

As of 2024, Laverne Cox appeared to be single, with the actress confirming that she was not in a relationship with anyone. In May 2024, Cox confirmed her separation from her then-boyfriend, whom she managed to keep away from the public. Cox confirmed the split later in 2024 during an episode on Nick Viall’s podcast, The Viall Files.

Cox began dating her unnamed boyfriend in 2020 following a two-year relationship with Kyle Draper. Cox confirmed her relationship with her then-boyfriend in January 2021 on The Ellen DeGeneres Show. According to Cox, the relationship had begun sometime in June 2020, during the pandemic. 

Subsequently, in a different interview, Cox revealed that she was 22 years older than her then-boyfriend. However, the actress clarified that she was not bothered by the age difference as it was not an issue for her. At the 2024 Grammys, Cox told Billy Joel that her ex was a big fan of his. However, their relationship lasted only four years, as they broke up in May 2024.

Is Laverne Cox a Trans Woman?

Yes, Laverne Cox is a trans woman. American actress and activist Laverne Cox was born in Mobile, Alabama, on May 29, 1972. Over the course of her career in the entertainment business, Cox has accomplished several firsts as an openly transgender woman. In 2014, she made history as the first openly transgender person nominated for a Primetime Emmy Award in acting.

Subsequently, in 2015, Cox became the first transgender person to win a Daytime Emmy for her work as a producer. Cox was born as a boy and has an identical twin named M. Lamar. Despite being born as a boy, Cox identified as a girl early on and was frequently teased for appearing feminine.

During high school, Cox concentrated on dancing while attending the Alabama School of Fine Arts in Birmingham, Alabama. After attending Indiana University in Bloomington, she earned a bachelor’s degree in dance from Marymount Manhattan College in New York. Cox started to transition medically and completely identified as a woman when she was in college.
