The Real Life Partners Of The Cast Of The Equalizer

Publish date: 2024-06-03

Following the lead of many other big names who found fame as musicians before segueing into acting — like Cher, Ice-T, and Mark Wahlberg — Queen Latifah was a major hip-hop figure in the early '90s, rapping classics like "Ladies First" and "U.N.I.T.Y." She starred in the TV sitcom "Living Single" and earned an Oscar nomination for the 2002 movie musical "Chicago," two milestone moments in an acting career that could culminate in a starring role as Robyn McCall on CBS's 2021 reimagining of "The Equalizer."

A prolific entertainer and public figure, the successful Queen Latifah (born Dana Owens) has kept her personal life very low-key, save for one incident in 1995, where the Queen was violently carjacked in the Harlem area of New York City. Two teenagers were arrested and charged for stealing the rapper's BMW and shooting Sean Moon in the stomach, who was identified in news sources as her boyfriend.

In 2009, according to The Sun, Queen Latifah met dancer and choreographer Eboni Nichols backstage at "Dancing With the Stars." By 2013, they were reportedly a couple, and according to Radar, the pair welcomed a baby in 2019. Nichols has appeared as a dancer in several movies, including "Honey," "Miami Vice," and "Hairspray" (a film featuring Queen Latifah), and choreographed dance and movement sequences for "Blades of Glory," "Jane the Virgin," and "The United States vs. Billie Holiday."
