Queen Latifah to Marry Jeannette Jenkins
Another high profile celebrity is taking advantage California’s overturned ban on gay marriages.
It is being reported by the National Enquirer (take it for what it’s worth) that Queen Latifah will be amongst the first big stars to marry her longterm partner and personal trainer Jeannette Jenkins.
Queen Latifah has been very tight-lipped about her relationship with Jenkins, and told Ebony magazine in 2007 that she would not comment on the rumor that Jenkins was her girlfriend. She didn’t deny it, she was just annoyed that she was asked.
“No comment on that at all. I’m done commenting on all that … It’s ridiculous, I know me and that’s all I need to know.
“And if the readers don’t know me, then that’s one part they aren’t going to get to know. Those are my people but they don’t sleep with me,” she says in a very even tone that is very consistent with her relaxed mood. “It feels so invasive. It’s the one thing I don’t think people need to know about.”
And then even before that, in 2006, she told Essence magazine:
“If I’m not going to tell you what guy I’m dating, I sure wouldn’t tell you I’m dating a girl.”
As of this point, neither Queen Latifah nor her partner have ever officially come out so take the report for what it’s worth.
