Is Queen Latifah Gay or Lesbian?

Queen Latifah has been labeled both gay and lesbian in the past. She has recently openly confirmed her involvement with her gay partner, Eboni Nichols. She had famously refused to discuss details about her love life with the press, even going as far as never officially confirming if she is gay, making it difficult before now to be 100% certain about the music legend’s sexual orientation or relationship status.

Even though she doesn’t share details of her personal life, her relationship history colorfully includes male and female personalities. While that would suggest Queen Latifah is bisexual, the proportion of women being greater in her history has led many to believe she is a lesbian rather than bisexual. She has not graced any of the speculations with a confirmation.

Their relationship has been a subject of debate to observers and fans of the musician/actress ever since news of the many acts PDAs filtered to the public.

However, in 2018, things took a different turn when news hit the public that Eboni Nichols was pregnant. Many suggested and believed that the pregnancy was a definitive confirmation of the status of Queen Latifah’s love life. Those suggestions turned out to be right, as Queen Latifah and Eboni Nichols reportedly welcomed their child in 2019.

As expected, the couple has kept details of their family away from the media, but sources close to them have mentioned Queen Latifah’s joy at finally starting a family.
