Queen Latifah and her life partner Eboni Nichols went Instagram official after attending the 2024 Met Gala together.
They shared photos of their Thom Browne outfits in an Instagram post. “The Equalizer” star captioned the post, “My forever and ever queen for @thombrowne Met Gala.”
Queen Latifah’s gown adhered to the evening’s dress code titled “The Garden of Time.”
“This look is ‘birds of paradise’ and it’s a beautiful intricate, very intricately made, handmade beautiful [gown],” Queen Latifah told La La Anthony for Vogue‘s official green carpet livestream. “I hope [it] will be something that people will get to study.”
Eboni described her look as, “an hourglass all-in-one chesterfield, sportcoat and pleated skirt in engineered checks of layered ribbon in black silk satin, wool crepe suiting, wool shetland and white silk faille over a square shoulder dress in black cavalry twill with red rose bullion applique and longwing on dot platforms in black patent leather.”
Queen Latifah and Eboni began dating in 2013. They split but got back together again. They kept their relationship secret for years.
Queen Latifah and Eboni, a homemaker, share a son named Rebel. Latifah, who is bisexual, stayed in the closet for decades.
When The New York Times inquired about her sexuality in 2008, she replied, “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.”
While accepting the Lifetime Achievement Award at the 2021 BET Awards, Queen Latifah publicly acknowledged Eboni and son Rebel for the first time. She ended her speech with “happy Pride!”
Queen Latifah currently stars in “The Equalizer” on CBS.
