Latifah has been guarded about her personal life, but reports indicated that Eboni did indeed give birth to a son in 2019 and his name is Rebel.

The Oscar-nominated star acknowledged her son while she was awarded the BET Lifetime Achievement Award in June of 2021, saying, ‘Eboni, my love. Rebel, my love.’

The veteran entertainer opened up about her personal life in 2008 while speaking with the The New York Times saying, ‘I don’t have a problem discussing the topic of somebody being gay, but I do have a problem discussing my personal life.

She lives a private life: In 2008 she explained she likes her privacy saying she is not shy about discussing her sexuality but said, 'I do have a problem discussing my personal life'

‘I don’t feel like I need to share my personal life, and I don’t care if people think I’m gay or not. Assume whatever you want, you do it anyway.’

The End of the Road star reportedly first crossed paths with Nichols, a one-time cheerleader for the Los Angeles Lakers and dance choreographer, on Dancing with the Stars in 2009 and they began dating four years later.

The multitalented performer stepped out after appearing on The Drew Barrymore Show to promote the new season of her CBS series The Equalizer.

She told Barrymore on the appearance that she had contractual stipulations in her projects that mandate her character cannot be killed in the storyline.

‘You know what happened at the beginning of my career … my characters died in the movies and apparently I died my a** off,’ she said. ‘I was like, “Wait a minute, if I keep dying in these movies, I can’t do a sequel.”‘

She said that she subsequently told her reps, ‘Yo, we got to put a no death clause in my contracts … henceforth, we kind of threw it in there.’

Said Queen Latifah: ‘I was like, “No more dying. No more getting shot up by 300 bullets in this car.”‘
