Love and motherhood have helped Queen Latifah bounce back from frightening health woes! RadarOnline.com has the first-ever photos of the star’s longtime partner, Eboni Nichols — and their new baby! “Latifah has never been so full of life!” gushed a source close to the former hip-hop queen. “Eboni and the baby have given Latifah something very special to live for.”
As RadarOnline.com revealed in October 2018, the Chicago star, 49, was making regular visits to a Beverly Hills medical facility that specializes in treating advanced cancer and blood diseases.
At the same time, 41-year-old Nichols was sporting a baby bump!
Latifah met Nichols, a former L.A. Lakers cheerleader, on Dancing with the Stars in 2009 and sources said they’ve been a devoted couple since 2013.
Ultra-private Latifah has not spoken publicly about the child, but she’s made no secret of her desire to have a family, especially after losing her beloved mother, Rita Owens.
“I had to get a lot of partying out of my system early in life,” Latifah said in 2017. “Now … I’m ready.”
