Kevin Hart didn’t just show up to the 2025 BET Awards — oh no, he materialized on the red carpet like a glittery chaos goblin with his whole fam in tow. The 4’5″ titan of comedy (give or take a few inches and an ego the size of the moon) brought wife Eniko Parrish and 17-year-old son Hendrix to watch him host the show like the proud family of a man who’s about to roast half of Hollywood and still get a standing ovation.
The red carpet at the Peacock Theater (which, by the way, is still not shaped like an actual peacock — rude) saw the trio looking like royalty from an alternate dimension where jokes are currency and Kevin is king. Eniko sparkled like a disco ball with a skincare routine forged in the tears of angels, while Hendrix looked both thrilled and like he just wanted his dad to stop embarrassing him in front of Beyoncé.
This marks Kevin’s second time hosting the BET Awards since 2011, meaning it only took him 14 years to be invited back. Growth! And probably some groveling!
Kevin, in a statement soaked in glitter and good vibes, said: “I love a celebration! It’s a chance to reflect, cherish and honor life’s unforgettable moments.” Which is cute and all, but let’s be real — this man is about to turn the entire ceremony into a comedy roast with better lighting and fewer rules. “It’s a Black-Tie affair, and you’re all invited,” he added, forgetting that 90% of us are watching from our couches in pajamas.
Anyway, prepare yourselves. The jokes will be flying, the celebs will be sweating, and Kevin Hart is hosting like his rent depends on it.
