From the beauty salon to «The Avengers», it’s no wonder that actress Queen Latifah has become a household name. The brunette has starred alongside some of the most successful actors, including Jada Pinkett Smith, Jimmy Fallon, and others. However, when Queen Latifah is not busy on the set of hit TV shows and movies, she can often be seen with her longtime partner, Eboni Nichols. Below is everything you need to know about her, their relationship, and much more!
Queen Latifah is a huge success, and so is her partner, Eboni! She is a professional choreographer, and not only is she a professional dancer, but she has even toured with some of the biggest names in music, including Rihanna, Beyoncé, Usher, and others, according to her biography on Emmy. Eboni earned a bachelor’s degree from Chapman University in Southern California, where she studied theater and dance.
In addition to touring with successful singers, Eboni choreographed «all five seasons» of the popular show «Jane the Virgin». The talented woman also worked on the ABC comedy series «Fresh Off the Boat», according to The US Sun. While Eboni is primarily known for her work as a choreographer, she previously spent some time as a Laker Girl for the Los Angeles Lakers NBA team. Some of her other choreography work included creating routines for hit movies like «Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle», «Office Christmas Party», and «Bachelorette».
Queen Latifah (real name Dana Elaine Owens) met her partner over ten years ago in 2009 on the set of the popular show «Dancing with the Stars». The duo officially announced their relationship in 2013, but they continue to remain a relatively private couple. Queen Latifah is so private that even in 2008 she told The New York Times that she would not discuss her personal life. «I don’t have a problem discussing the topic of someone’s homosexuality, but I don’t like discussing my personal life», - she told the publication. «You won’t get that part of me. Sorry. We don’t discuss that at our meetings, I don’t need to share my personal life, and I don’t care if people think I’m gay or not. Assume what you want. You’re going to do it anyway».
Although the hitmaker of «Ladies First» did not often speak publicly about Eboni, she did thank her partner in her speech upon receiving a lifetime achievement award at BET in 2021. «Eboni, my love. Rebel, my love. Peace. Happy Pride!» she said at the time. It is worth noting that this was the first time the Emmy winner publicly named her partner, according to The Cut.
Eboni and Queen Latifah welcomed a boy named Rebel in 2019. The professional dancer was spotted with a pregnant belly in October 2018, and soon after the couple became proud moms! They were even seen with their son on rare outings, such as at basketball games
