King Latifah About To Have Some Babies

Posted by Bossip Staff

The National Enquirer is reporting that King Latifah and her trainer/boo Jeanette Jenkins are planning to adopt:

It’s top secret right now, but they are hoping to have a little one by Christmas,” a longtime pal told The Enquirer. “They’re trying to keep it quiet because they don’t want to jinx the whole thing.” Latifah’s sister, who works in New Jersey’s Division of Youth and Family Services, is helping guide her through the red tape, said the source. Unlike Madonna and Angelina Jolie, Latifah is making a point of adopting a child from the United States. “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,” said the Oscar-nominated “Chicago” star. But she says poor American children “can use just as much assistance as someone from around the world. I want to do something here.”

Adoption has been on her mind for a long time. The “Mad Money” star told a reporter last year, “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.”

Go head, Big ‘Tifah, if this is true and she’s settling down and making it happen, we ain’t mad at her at all…

  28. Davari

    Good for you Dana. Much respect for using your wealth to give a much needed home to some poor unfortunate child. I’m all for anyone of any race,religion or sexual orientation adopting a child.especially when i see so many lousy pieces of shit out here who abuse and neglect the ones that they have.

  29. Tiffany

    King Latifah would be a good Daddy. Congrats..

  30. babynewyear

    This story if false - she doesn’t even have a sister. Get it together people.


  31. HOW ? FOR REAL HOW ??? MEN CAN NOT HAVE BABIES THE LAST TIME I CHECKED !!

  32. Nita

    Bossip, that’s disrespectful.

    If QUEEN Latifah and her beloved want to adopt, why not? There are too many children in bad homes and no homes to be picking and choosing not to allow possible good parents to be there for them.

  33. Nita

    @babynewyear wrote, “This story if false - she doesn’t even have a sister. Get it together people.”

    For real? So Bossip pulled an OTM (backwards). aiight. That sucks. They’re still disrespectful for calling her ‘King’.

  34. sexy

    Ok. Let me break this down for the square:

    Most of the time in a lesbian or gay relationship someone has the tendencies of the Man. Go figure.

    Damn it was a joke.

  35. sexy

    lol @ Tiff


  36. I`m stoopid ! And I need to shut the f up ! Because clearly I didn`t read this post properly ! GO Queen Latifa … Do you !

  37. Hannibal

    KING LATIFAH IS GONNA ADOPT?! I ALWAYS THOUGHT WHALES MATED TO HAVE BABIES. BUT AS LONG AS HE IS HAPPY, THATS ALL THAT MATTERS, CONGRATS.

  50. kayla

    I guess artificial insemination is out of the picture. She is too manly to give birth.

  51. HateAHater

    Okay I am just trying to understand why people think the phrase ‘leave a comment’ means: be mean, ignorant and degrading to others???? There are way more important issues in this world to use your bain for than to sit on the computer and insult people. And Queen Latifah is one of the down to earth stars. Come on people, stop Hatin’ and being so ruthless!!!!!!

  52. jonjon23

    This is crazy. If she can have babies herself, why not get a man and have them. These lesbians (and gays) are on some other stuff with this union/adopt-a-kid nonsense. God meant for a man and woman to be together and raise a family. What if every person in the world went gay tommorrow and only wanted to adopt? The human race would be an endangered species.

  53. kenya

    i don’t think ql is the one that would be knocked up anyway i don’t see nothing wrong with her and her sig other raising a child that obviously nobody else wants. maybe they are adopting because they don’t want to go through the whole process of being pregnant you know morning sickness, toxemia, gestational diabetes, not to mention passing a head through her vagina being stretched to the limit and feeling like someone set your shyt on fire….i don’t blame them

  54. Darkesthourglass

    I think Q. Latifah does have a half sister. Her father had other children. Maybe she doesn’t like the idea of getting pregnant or has tried and failed. Same thing with the girlfriend. More power to her if that’s what she wants to do.

    She looks like she about to have a bushel of babies put out her gut!!!!I really do try not to clown……but y’all make it hard fo’ a brotha…………..

  58. basics10

    To think that people wouldn’t want her to adopt when there are so many kids who are parent-less in America because she’s a lesbian shows just how dumb a lot of black can be.

    So people are really saying it’s worse for a gay couple to raise a child than the kid to grow up as an orphan? Get a grip on reality you faux Christian morons.

  59. Flawdagurl~tell em'

    @basics10

    You just have to know that here are ignorant people on bossip so just deal with the comments and keep goin but its really a shame that they would clown someone who is trying to help a child in need, but then they wanna get all upset when they hear about stupid-ass mammies out there microwaving their kids to death and giving away their seeds like they aint shit but cant commend a real bitch like the Queen for wanting to pick up the slack! GET YOUR SHIT TOGETHER PEOPLE!!!!!!

  60. Flawdagurl~tell em'

    As long as there is 2 loving parents or even 1 i can care-less if its 2 women or 2 gorillas they doing something that the real mamies aint doing can they get a little credit!


  61. nice to see she lost all of her weight;;

    yeah you all see her on tv,

  62. versace

    What is going to happen to the next generation of kids that accepts dating the same sex and the opposite sex at the same time? Is that really acceptable? I am not trying to have sex with a man that that just pulled out of a man’s ass. What does being a good christian having to do it with, it is disgusting and not safe for any straight woman. Homosexuality doesn’t have to remain in the closet but it doesn’t need to be shoved down heterosexuals throat. It’s already difficult to find a man but now to accept a man that likes men accepting his lifestyle, yet in the news in the New York has a significant rise in gay and latinos AIDs cases.

  63. dqueen

    say hey, so they found love with Lesbianism and they want kids. Well, it’s not the rightt way, it’s not God’s way, but it will due. Kids need parents because too many crazy dumb bitches be hatching eggs.

  64. basics

    If you’re saying it’s God way, you’re putting Christian morals ahead of common sense. Is it God’s way when white Christians discriminate against black people?

    When will you people wake up and realize that God is in your heart and Christians aren’t supposed to be judging each other?

    Will your straight self adopt children and give them homes? If the answer is no, then you need to shut up period. If you don’t want to help give these children a good home then you are a part of the problem if you want to stop loving people from adopting. I am no homosexual, but I am for children having a good home PERIOD. Especially black children without a home.

    Perhaps you need to gain some damn perspective and stop being a moron.

  65. I'm Just Me- 25 OFFICIALLY!! BTW: I keep the purp by the pound!!

    Congrats to them! I agree there are children in America that need homes and love just like foreign children. I am sure the child/children will be taken care of just fine.

  66. fatal

    If you claim that same sex marriages or relationships are not acceptable then I can only see this habit continuing through adoption of a child, I dont have to explain you smart buddy.

  68. kenya

    I believe that homosexuality is something that your born with, i’ve seen it time and time again. young boys being very feminine, they didn’t “turn” that way. How is someone going to teach a child to be gay, that’s just ridiculous imo, whatever is in the the child is in the child from the start. nothing wrong with gays raising children, especially if the children are wasting away in the system.

  69. kenya

    btw…ya’ll are killing me with “it’s not God’s way” well how the heck do you know? did God personally tell you that it’s wrong? No, it is your own prejudices that have you feeling that way. It never ceases to amaze me on how our ancestors were brought to this country shackled adn damn near starved. They raped us, lynched us, threatened us, and busted up entire families scattering them to the four corners of the country and when we had notnhing, gave us Christianity. Why on Earth would you accept what was originally his religion when he was obviously evil? What’s wrong with this picture? Stop the brainwash and just think about it.

  70. mrmiami

    She need to get her lover some real Dick,So she can see how its done,A man in a women can have babies,stop trying to be a man bitch….

  71. jonjon23

    I know two women can’t make a child; neither can two men. ITS THE LAWS OF NATURE. Theres been a surge of homosexuals and if you read the Bible it talks about this in the Earths last days. I’m not claiming to a perfect person but I’m just saying that this is perverted. The more it’s accepted and shown on T.V., the more these kids think its right and lean towards that lifestyle.

  72. terry

    This goes against nature but man has a tendency to ride against the higher orders. These hybrid families aren’t going to work in the long run. Man is to reproduce and we are to have real mommies a daddies. This is some bullshit here. No worries, yet. You wait until this society falls apart and you try to build it back up. Good luck. the value system around here is shot to hell. we done fucked up the natural order of things to suit his needs and her needs. We will pay for it dearly in the end.

  73. lavender brotha

    Thank you @ kenya

    Biology and orientation are two different things. Just because it’s natural for male/female to create life doesn’t mean someone with a different orientation is ‘perverted’. Terry says “Man is to reproduce” but we all know the story of men fathering a bunch of kids with different ‘real mommies’ and is not there to raise them!!! Simple reproducing in terms of ‘God’s law’ is not the whole story. Where do a lot of these kids end up…poverty and prison? But we want to put down gays and lesbians who want to have children and a family just like anyone else. Judge a good or bad parent by their behavior and commitment, not who they are attracted to.

    I respect Queen LaT for her contribution to hip hop and helping break barriers for women in the industry. I also think its her business if she wants to adopt a child. My only problem is if you sign a contract with Jenny Craig, put the f*ckin cheeseburgers down!
