Even though the star is known to be quite private when it comes to her personal life, she has referenced her beloved on rare occasions and has posed with her at industry events.She’s a hip-hop legend, a Hollywood powerhouse, and an undisputed icon, but when it comes to her personal life, Queen Latifah plays by her own rules.The actress and her beloved partner, Eboni Nichols, have been together for some time. According to several sources, the pair met in the early 2000s, but reportedly only started dating years later, and have been together ever since.

Queen Latifah’s steadfast commitment to keeping her personal life out of the public eye is nothing new….In a candid 2008 interview with The New York Times, she addressed the ongoing speculation surrounding her relationships — particularly her sexuality — with a firm yet composed stance.”I don’t have a problem discussing the topic of somebody being gay, but I do have a problem discussing my personal life,” she said at the time, making it clear that her boundaries were non-negotiable.”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. They don’t get it, he doesn’t get it,” she added, gesturing toward a publicist’s office.
