Queen Latifah was all smiles while watching the US Open with girlfriend — or rumored fiancée — Eboni Nichols.
The stars looked happy and relaxed this Wednesday, August 28, when they were pictured sitting together in a VIP section at the USTA National Tennis Center in Flushing Meadows, New York.
The Chicago actress, 49, cheered watching Serena Williams play fellow tennis star Catherine McNally.
She and Nichols, 41, couldn’t hide their excitement as the match got interesting.
The lovebirds — who’ve always been low-key about their relationship — seemed cheery as ever, months after being spotted on mommy duty with their child.
Readers know that this May, RadarOnline.com revealed the first photos of Latifah and Nichol’s secret baby.
“Latifah has never been so full of life!” a source close to the star exclusively told RadarOnline.com. “Eboni and the baby have given Latifah something very special to live for.”
Latifah and Nichols met in 2009 on the set of Dancing with The Stars and began dating in 2013. Though they’re remained ultra-private about their romance, they’re often seen canoodling on romantic dates and Hollywood galas.
After going through a health crisis and losing her mother in 2018, Latifah revealed she was ready to settle down and start a family — and now, it seems she has!
“I had to get a lot of partying out of my system early in life for about 40 years. You know what I'm saying. I'm good now. I think I'm ready,” the actress told E! News in 2016.
She even revealed her baby plans, without divulging too much.
"Maybe I'll adopt a child that's not necessarily a baby. There are a lot of kids that need love out there. I want to be there for somebody. I got to get all this stuff and give it somebody,” said Latifah at the time.
And two years later, Nichols was caught sporting a massive baby bump!
