Queen Latifah has never been forthcoming when it comes to discussing her romantic life and has often chosen to remain silent when questioned about the claims that she’s a lesbian. Although the media mogul has left fans to assume what they want about her sexuality, there’s little to assume now that photos of Latifah kissing her alleged girlfriend have surfaced.
According to Lovebscott.com, Latifah was relaxing at Hotel Cala di Volpe Sunday, Aug. 17, in Porto Cervo, Sardinia, when photographers snapped photos of her kissing her alleged new girlfriend, Eboni Nichols, on the beach.
According to the New Pittsburgh Courier, Nichols is a “world-famous dancer and choreographer [who] put together a routine for Latifah’s guest appearance on ‘Dancing With the Stars.’ ”
The report claims that Latifah began dating Nichols after her split with her former girlfriend, Jeanette Jenkins, who allegedly split with Latifah over Nichols’ presence in Latifah’s life. Ironically enough, Latifah was photographed in an intimate embrace with Jenkins on a yacht years ago while they were on vacation.
Despite never confirming her sexuality to the public, Latifah made headlines earlier this year when she officiated 34 gay, straight and interracial marriages at the Grammys during Madonna and Macklemore’s “Same Love/Open Your Heart” performance.
Last year, Latifah explained that, while she’s fine being in front of the camera, she has no desire at all to share the details of her private life with her fans.
“I don’t feel the need to discuss my private life on this show or any other show,” said Latifah about her talk show. “There’s the part of my life that the public and I share together. Then there’s the part that’s mine to keep for myself. And that’s mine.”
Well, at this point it’s pretty obvious where Latifah stands on the Kinsey scale, but even more obvious, and certainly what’s more important, is that she seems happy with Nichols. –nicholas robinson
