Queen Latifah and Eboni Nichols have been together for 12 years, and have kept their union relatively hush-hush.
The most the Living Single alum has said about her relationship was a shoutout during her 2021 BET Awards Lifetime Achievement Award acceptance speech, where she affectionately referred to Nichols as “my love.” While the pair have been spotted out and about during numerous events, not much has been documented about the two lovebirds.
In 2008, the “U.N.I.T.Y” emcee told The New York Times that the scarcity of information is intentional. “I don’t have a problem discussing the topic of somebody being gay, but I do have a problem discussing my personal life. You don’t get that part of me. Sorry. We’re not discussing it in our meetings, we’re not discussing it at Cover Girl,” the Queen asserted. “I don’t feel like I need to share my personal life, and I don’t care if people think I’m gay or not. Assume whatever you want. You do it anyway.”
So, with the little bit of information they’ve been comfortable sharing, and fans clamoring for just a smidge of info regarding the couple, here is what we know about Eboni Nichols.
