Eboni Nichols is a Hollywood choreographer who started her career as an L.A. Lakers' Girl. After leaving the Lakers, Nichols worked with musicians such as Beyoncé, Aaliyah, and Jennifer Lopez. According to Emmy.com, the California native choreographed all five seasons of "Jane the Virgin." In 2014, Nichols became a member of the Television Academy and was selected as co-governor of the Choreography Peer Group.
Queen Latifah and Nichols met on set for "Dancing With the Stars" (via Heavy.com), and the two reportedly became official in 2013. In 2019, they welcomed their first child, a boy named Rebel. A source tells RadarOnline that having a child has brought a new meaning to Queen Latifah's life. "Latifah has never been so full of life!" they explained. "Eboni and the baby have given Latifah something very special to live for."
The Emmy winner couldn't contain her joy while accepting the Lifetime Achievement Award at the 2021 BET Awards. She proudly proclaimed her "love" for Eboni and Rebel. "I thank you so much for all of you, the fans, for supporting every crazy-a** thing I've done through the years. And thank you for making Equalizer number 1. Eboni, my love. Rebel, my love. Peace," she said (via The Cut).
Although it has not been confirmed what role Eboni and Rebel play in Queen Latifah's personal life, it is evident that both matter dearly to the actress.
