Answers: No malik was on the show at one time, but
he was Joans then boyfriends (Ellis) agent. Joan
fell for him wanted to be with him but he didnt want to have kids, and she did. It was something that neither one of them wanted to compromise on so they parted.
Her Fiance in season 8 was played by Richard T Jones
