Bride & Groom To Be
Posted by Bossip Staff
According to the National Enquirer, Queen Latifah and long time trainer boo Jeanette Jenkins are about to get hitched:
“This week’s National Enquirer states that Queen Latifah plans to marry her partner of five years, personal trainer Jeannette Jenkins, after the groundbreaking ruling in California that legalized same-sex marriages.”
But is this tale believable? We all know how tight-lipped King Latifah can be about her love life:
“So if this is true, it’s a big step for Latifah, who’s never even mentioned Jeannette. She has a lot of high-profile endorsement contracts as well as her movie career, so maybe she fears a backlash if she comes out or just doesn’t think it’s anyone’s business. The Enquirer points out that Jeanette isn’t out, either, and that she ‘previously denied being gay and once claimed to be engaged to a man.’
In September of last year, Latifah bought Jeannette a new car, a Range Rover she had delivered to surprise her at a restaurant where they were having lunch.
The two are said to be ‘planning an intimate ceremony with close family and friends.’ Latifah has said she would like to adopt a child, particular an American baby, and this may be the first step toward showing her commitment to Jeannette and to providing a stable home life.”
It’s about time King Latifah quit denying her Lezzy status. If this ish is true, we’re sure it will be a top secret affair. We’ll have to just wait and see….
I wonder who will wear the dress. Oh, am I first?
top fizzive!!!
I wonder who wears the strap-on in this duo?
Not that there’s anything wrong with that…
Long time trainer??????????? Then why you need Jenny Craig. LOL! Oh well!
AAAW Carpet Munching Love….!
Glad to see Queen may be finally coming out of the closet!! That’s a good thing!! We are all FAM right here!!
C’mon, this sounds like a bunch of malarkey!! She doesn’t even discuss her personal life, so what, the Enquirer got this breaking news from a “personal friend” or an anonymous “source”?
Whatever makes her happy; if she likes it, I love it for her. I’m a Queen Latifah fan no matter what, do your thing Girl!
Don’t want to see this sex tape either…
Queen’s bidness is her bidness; happiness to her if its true and shame on the gossip mongers if it isn’t…
National Enquirer…ok..um, who was the source?
Good Morning Bossipers!
this woman prides herself on being private…i doubt very seriously that she would risk her career by getting married which would be made public…
Queen’s status has been known for a long time in Illtown, DirtyJersey for the longest. No surprise if the wedding is in fact true. Takes nothing away from her talent but I agree with LIL LATTE…please, no sex tape!!
Wow, just wow!
@ Bree…..exactly! Isn’t that like the wrongest tabloid???
Nope! Don’t believe this bullshit story!!!!…..Nnnnnnext!!!
ill…..
Congrats to them if it is true. I am not surprised at all and good for her/them.
bossip should be ashame of themself ,Quoting the enquire” since when the enquire considered real journalism , is that the best soure bossip could come up with - i would have beleive it if it was reported by TMZ (
Good for them!!!
Reporting fairy tales from the National Enquirer you guys are really looking for a new headline
National Enquirer? C’mon Bossip, ya’ll KNOW you can do better than that.
Where’s the groom?
Reat talk Baptiste….
Bossip, who the fukk do you have on your writing staff? Thinking they all clever and witty, sounding like a complete cornball.Give us some fiyah…
all hail the King!
good for them.. please adopt a white little boy….LOL
J/k
yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeea
i am happy for her! Do it big girl! represent those thighs, and ass!
So… what if she does come out and says she’s gay or a Lesbian(not Lezzy)..what difference will it make? Will you guys start talking about her sexuality LESS??? Or will you still make the homophobic jokes? Latifah is a pioneer in hip hop and a trailblazer in the industry. She started out in a genre of music that even the president condemned at that time. Now she is a movie star, was the lead character in one of the highest rated African American sitcoms (Living Single)and has flipped the game 3times over. But, THIS is all Bossip can talk about. Why would any Black in this industry come out and say that they’re homosexual when Black people will do nothing but diss them and shun them. Ellen and Rosie can do it. Hey Doogie Housser even said he was gay and the White community will look past that and see the talent. Why cant we? Queen, stay in that closet publically as long as you want, as long as you’re happy and you’re family knows then thats all that matters.
no Kadijah, why?
YUCK
If that’s what that woman wants, then so be it. I met Dana at an event a few years back and there is not a more normal down-to-earth celebrity out there. I’m also happy to hear (if it’s true) that they would adopt, so many babies out there that no one wants, I’m glad she’s (reportedly) stepping up.
stop playing… yall know Latifah wearing da strap-ons and the tux to the wedding. I really don’t care one way or the other about her sexuality. As long as she happy
The National Enquirer is a reliable JUNK source. Don’t buy that bs for a minute.
If she and the trainer are gettin’ down like that…good for them! Lesbian love is beautiful. It’s their business anyway.
FUCK THIS SHIT BITCHES MARRYING BITCHES AND FAG NUCCAS MARRYING ONE ANOTHER THIS SHIT IS DISGUSTING.IT SHOULD BE ILLEGAL FOR HOMOSEXUALS TO ADOPT.SAME SEX PARENTS WOULD FUCK A KID MIND UP FOR REAL.YOU STUPID FUCKS ON BOSSIP JUST PICTURE YOU AS A KID COMING HOME FROM SCHOOL TO SEE YOUR 2 DADDIES KISSING AND FUCKING,AAAAAGH THATS VOMIT BITCHES.IF SHE WANTS A KID WELL SHE NEED TO LET SOME DICK IN.
Trick da sex tape, thats not scur’ray, lol the fact that her trainer is scurred as all hell in that pic cuz da KANG on that Barry Bonds shet is the scur’ray’ess , she gonna get the lead in Training Day II , watch
@ Original Pimp
And the hetero-sexual family who raised you did such a bang up job? LOL!
Trainer??!?!?! C’mon!!!
Gee I wonder why Dana has not come out. Could it be that certain people in the media will call her “King Latifah”?
I really can’t blame Black celebs who stay in the closet. Black people hate gays the way the KKK hates Black people.
Queen never has and never will talk about her personal business. Her and Jeanetter have been together longer than a lot of straight/married couples so my advice is for them to keep doing them!
@ Shavon Denise
I co sign!
so what if she’s gay- what two consenting adults do behind closed doors, is their business!#
Homophobia in the Black community is beyond ridiculous!
@Marquis,, maybe they both do.. at any rate, Best wishes to them both, I hope the last a very long time.. I love Queen, and glad she found someone to love and love her back
@Marquis de Sade
Co-Sign on that one!!! LMAO
I Love Queen. . .she’s my favorite Black female celebrity. Hope it’s true and hope she’ll be happy.
I cant stand anything more than homophobic black folks.
@ Original Pimp
And the hetero-sexual family who raised you did such a bang up job? LOL!

ROTFLMAO!!!!!
so what?? its 2008…who cares if ANYONE is gay or not???
SMH………………….
Glad to see she said AMERICAN BABY…..Damn……tired of all these hollywood shits that keep adopting overseas…..I mean there’s kids here too that can use a family!!
The national enquirer is a public joke magazine so how reliable is it? Besides I think they are already unioned together since Queen Latifah is a very private person. She wouldn’t come out of the closet because I think she would lose some of her endorsements. It is sad, but very true and you can’t tell these companies what to do. She is a very talented woman and also smart, which is why she keeps it to herself being private and answering no questions about it.
Original Pimp,
I understand what you are saying, but you are so hostile about it, which makes you look very hateful. I too am not one to support homosexuality for my personal reasons, but they have their lives and I have mine and I am concerned about me. You waste too much time hating a person for things that shouldn’t concern you. It’s their personal biz.
@ Lady Architect
…And to add on to that, gays pay taxes, work, and pray/worship the same God that everyone else does. That’s one of the reasons why the California Supreme Justices overturned the ban on Gay marriage. It was determined that there was nothing in the Constitution to justify banning them from enjoying the same rights as heterosexuals.
Keep On, Keepin’ On, Sistas! True Love can reach beyond people’s prejudices and homophobe agendas. Stay strong! I had two mommies, who loved me till their last days on earth. I was a whole, healthy and content child who became a whole, healthy adult. I taught my own children to love others as Jesus would. I also believe that same-sex couples can provide excellent parenting, nurturing and love. I’m a success story, and I am sure there are many more like me who grew up with two same-sex partners…Anyway, people tend to hold to negative thinking, fear differences of others and write some very ignorant things on this site that really don’t matter. Vent on! Vent on! Let it all out! So let me tell all of you negative-thinking folks something! I’m a black woman in her mid-60s now, and I am so very glad to have lived in a time when it is more important to focus on our country’s presidential nominee, Barack Obama, than worry about other people’s sexual preferences. Amen! Amen!
I dnt mean any disrespect @Brynn but sometimes I have to check myself for coming on Bossip and I am 27 but you my dear sweet lady are in your mid 60’s!

Hmmm.. I am not sure…
I think it is made up…. not sure why everyone keeps trying to force her gay just because she did that move “Set It Off” EVER since that movie folks have been trying to make her a les
*my 2 cents* So What? Why do we question peoples’ sexuality? Could it be because we question our own? I really don’t care what people do behind closed doors, if they are hetero or gay or lesbian. The only time it would be of concern to me is if I wanted to sleep with them
bossip y’all getting your stories for that trash mag the National Enquirer!?!?!?! I’m not falling for the banana in the tailpipe…
Queen latifah…keep doing you!!
THAT IS JUST SO NASTY!!!THIS WORLD IS MESSED UP
That shit is nasty!!!!!!!!!
The reason why King Latif (lol@Bossip) continues to hide is because deep down she knows it’s wrong. Who dodges questions about their sexuality? It’s just pitiful nowadays how the media continues to glorify this mess as if this is how life was really intended to be. How in the world did we all get here? A man doing his thing with a woman & 9 months later…you know the rest. lol Well this is how my daughter arrived…that’s right ladies & gents, it wasn’t by a stork or artificial insemination. lol
Well, she probly dodge the questions regarding her sexuality and personal life becuase it’s nobodys business…. even tho EVERYONE already know what the business is.
It’s cool that Latifah bought her friend a Range Rover because she’d probly feel stupid as hell getting into ol girls Camry… so why not?
It’s nobody’s business that I had a jamba juice smoothie for breakfast either. Point is ..it’s a yes or no answer. Who hides what they are? Tricks, bustas (lol) adulterers, crime figures, hitmen…If you were a thief, I bet you wouldn’t admit to that….not to the cops. lol
I have always thought Latifah was gay. I just don’t understand why she doesn’t come out. I wonder if she thinks it will hurt her career?
Anyway I wish her the best if she is getting married.
Good for them!
I won’t touch this subject w/ a 10ft. strap on…….
not even Dana’s…….
@ Celebrity CSI
“Who hides what they are?”
So your mother really named you “Celebrity CSI?”
@THex,
I’m not hiding, that’s called my messageboard moniker..but it could work in my real life. I am a celebrity in my own right. lol
Brynn(Check me out!)

Bravo
Who cares who she “loves”??? It’s pretty obvious that she’s lesbian and doesn’t want to put it in everyones face and also for the sake of her career.
ALthough I support Dana’s right to be whatever, she chooses too. I will never go to any more of her movies (which are pretty coonish, might I add- Bringin down da house, etc.)
I liked her travelin’ light but since that’s not true either, I won’t be supporting that mess. I think Women belong with Men and Men belong with women. All this homosexuality stuff, is WAY overrated. “Outing yourself only became the “in” thing to do, once white folks started to do it.” I think the whole thing is sick.
Go BARACK!!! THANKS FOR KEEPING IT REAL!!! BLACK HETEROSEXUAL LOVE IS A WONDERFUL THING!!!!

I saw this story on the cover of another magazine in the grocery store a few minutes ago and it wasn’t the Enquirer either. What is the big deal already? She likes chocha instead of a nice big you know what- I can’t believe this is still a big mystery, is evidente that she’s long stroking the crap out of her “trainer”. Hmmm, we know already what she is training her in…
think she’ll lose her covergirl contract?
thats her life and she can do what she wants but remember GOD made ADAM and EVE, it is a sin to be gay period, congrats to them if it true
NO! NO! NO! PLEASE SAY IT AIN’T SO!!!
2 dum ass bitches
Bullshit. This ain’t true. And when are they gone to get new pictures of them?
I don’t know…the trainer even look kinda dyke-ish…lmao! who cares? The Queen is talented.
@Shavon Denise
I co-sign.
Ms. Latifah’s sexual preference is her business.
She is one of the best rapper/actress/spokesperson/singer/businesswoman in Hollywood, a true talent who has succeeded in a business were many fail, she gets nothing but props from me.
lololol this is funny, but I somehow believe it. The funny part of it, was earlier in the year when it was Latifah’s bday, some psychic was predicting that she will come out of the closet this year, lol…seems like it’s coming through.
just because a kid gets raised in a two parent home with a male and a female does not guarantee that they will not be messed up. that is like saying people that are on drugs, prostitute, incarcerated, criminals, or just a loser, are raised by two gay parents. and those that are “normal” are raised in a loving heterosexual family. KICK ROCK WITH THE ASININITY! stupid definitely is as stupid does.
My friend told me that she saw her profile with hot photos on I n t i m a t e m i n g l e DOTC o m Is that true? Maybe… OMG, is she looking for new relationships? I’ll check it out.
I don’t think she would just put her business out there like that…I mean it is her business about her sexual preference, I really don’t feel either way about it I don’t hate on gay people, some of it I’d just rather not see so publicly, I mean hey I live in Atlanta so its very common.
I think it is her business what she does during her private time. I love her anyway no matter what. Gay love is better than no love for her.
What’s up with the homophobic tone of this post. When sites use terms such as “Leezy” and “Bride & Groom to Be” as if a marriage is only for men and women, it’s no wonder people stay in the closet.
If Queen Latifah gets married to Jenette, I wish them all the best of luck.
And to all the people out there, it’s “sexual-orientation” not “self-preference.” We didn’t choose to be gay no more than straight people chose to be “straight.”
It’s an new enlightened era. Bossip set into the light and don’t use God as a crunch to continue snarky homophobic comments.
Mayne I been knowing she was a Dike since “Set it Off” that role just came to easy for her. But I bet If I break this thang off in her back, she’ll be back on Dick!!
Mr. Murph, you sound to me like a weak ass faggot. All this Gay shit is un-natural. If tomorrow everybody turned Gay, that would be the end of the world as we know it. We wouldn’t be able to reproduce. Enlightened Era my ass. Shut you Dick in the Booty ASS UP. Biaaaach
call 623 565 0877 for a good time
I have gay friends and I tell them the same thing they know it is true that is the reason some people stay in the closet the guilt be killing some of them
