Is Queen Latifah Pregnant?

Sassy Smith — Sat, 25 Oct 2008 11:08:00 GMT

Queen Latifah, 38, and her (possible) partner Jeanette Jenkins have talked of adoption in the past, saying, "I've always wanted to have [babies] and adopt. When I was little, I remember seeing TV shows and a child would be adopted and be happy. I just always felt like there are so many kids out there who need a parent." However, she's not opposed to being pregnant either, and maybe hints that she could be?

Latifah (aka Dana Owens) said of having a child, "I would probably be six months pregnant before anyone knows about it, and I won't talk about the baby until after it's born." (Oh, could this mean she's pregnant now?)

Owens is currently starring in the film The Secret Life of Bees, and says she took the role because the character of "August Boatwright," was so maternal. "August was just so nuturing and maternal and comfortable in her own skin. I felt she would be fun to play, and initially I wasn't sure - hey, who knows? - I might be pregnant by the time we shoot, and this is the kind of film you could do when you're pregnant at the same time because you don't have to worry about things.

"August communicated love for the most part, and that is OK if you've got a little one in there and all the love is flowing through your mind. It could be kind of cool."

The actress says she doesn't feel the need to talk about her personal life publicly. "I don't feel the need to discuss my personal life with the media or the fans. You lose your anonymity as part of success. But there are parts of my life that I just want to keep for me and my family and friends and the person I'm with."

Oh I hope she is pregnant - she'd make a great mom, I can just tell!

Queen Latifah's Baby News!

Sassy Smith — Sun, 31 Aug 2008 20:11:00 GMT

Queen Latifah and her partner Jeanette Jenkins might have some baby news! Yes!

A friend told the National Enquirer, that the couple are possibly trying to adopt a baby by Christmas. "They're trying to keep it quiet because they don't want to jinx the whole thing." Queen's sister works for the New Jersey Division of Youth and Family Services, is reportedly guiding the pair through the red tape.

The couple would prefer to adopt domestically as opposed to internationally.

Latifah said, "I can understand why people go outside the U.S. You can adopt someone here, and the birth parents have three years to come back and get that child. That's terrifying." But she's sympathetic to the children here who need help, saying, "can use just as much assistance as someone from around the world. I want to do something here."

The actress said previously, "I've always wanted to have [babies] and adopt. When I was little, I remember seeing TV shows and a child would be adopted and be happy. I just always felt like there are so many kids out there who need a parent."

I hope they do have a baby (whatever way) - I love Queen Latifah, and I think she'd make a great mom!

Who's Going To Adopt Because She's Afraid Of Childbirth?

Babies For Queen Latifah!!

Sassy Smith — Sat, 14 Jun 2008 22:11:00 GMT

I love Queen Latifah - she rocks! She's got such a great personality, larger than life. She and longtime girlfriend, Jeannette Jenkins are reportedly set to make their union legal under California's new gay marriage law. You know what comes after marriage - that's right, babies! Well, sometimes. Queen definitely has baby news...

Queen Latifah spoke with OK! and said she absolutely wants kids one day, "for sure."

"Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah! There's the intention. I don't know when, but it's going to happen.

"It's going to have to happen eventually. I'm not sure when, but I would love to have children for sure."

The Queen does have experience working with children in the League - a new youth-service organization based in her hometown of Newark, N.J.

"We come back and contribute to the community. We try and put a different face on a city we know is not just about The Sopranos, toxic smells and all this stuff that people try and make Jersey about.

"When I knew this was coming up, [and was] asked if I would be involved, I said, 'Sure, no problem, let's do it."

The actress loves coming back to her hometown, as it gives her the chance to hang out with family and old friends, as well as help with the organization. And the support she receives from those closest to her is important in her quest to become healthy - she's lost 20 lbs on Jenny Craig. And although she's striving to be a better "her," she refuses to be someone she's not.

"I think I'm the best Queen Latifah there ever will be, but I'm not necessarily the best J.Lo, and I'm not the best Halle Berry. They are the best. I've gotta be me and let everybody else be them, and I think there's room for all of us because America looks like all of us."

Another reason to love her! She has such a great confidence and attitude. She's definitely going to make a wonderful mom.

Queen Latifah and Jeannette Jenkins Will Marry, Adopt Child

sweatpantsmom — Tue, 10 Jun 2008 23:42:00 GMT

Call her a size married! Queen Latifah is rumored to be preparing to wed longtime partner and trainer Jeannette Jenkins. According to the National Enquirer the two are set to tie the knot under California's new gay marriage law. Reports also say that the two are planning to adopt a child immediately after their marriage, which is said to be planned for July.

Current Jenny Craig spokesperson Queen Latifah lives with her partner in New Jersey and Los Angeles, but has never publicly acknowledged that she is gay or that her and Jenkins are a couple. When asked about her sexual preference in an interview with Ebony magazine in 2007 she replied, “No comment on that at all. I’m done commenting on all that … It’s ridiculous”.

Congratulations to the Queen and her queen! And best of luck on their soon-to-be-arriving prince or princess.
