Nia Long Engaged: 'The Single Moms Club' Actress to Marry Longtime Boyfriend Ime Udoka
"Best Man Holiday" star Nia Long is engaged to her boyfriend of five years, Ime Udoka, E! News reports.
Rumors of Long and Udoka's engagement have recently been circulating after Long was spotted in California wearing a sparkling diamond ring on her ring finger, MadameNoire reports. Though neither Long or Udoka has publicly confirmed their engagement, Long's rep reportedly told E! News that the longtime couple is in fact engaged.
Udoka and Long are parents to their 3-year-old son, Kez Udoka. Long also has a 14-year-old son, Massai, from a previous relationship.
MadameNoire reports that Massai acted alongside Long in the 2014 Tyler Perry film, "The Single Moms Club."
Prior to her engagement, Long told Access Hollywood Live in 2013 that she had no plans to tie the knot anytime soon, MadameNoire reports.
Long explained that because Udoka is an assistant coach for the San Antonia Sprus, they travel often and have very little time to plan a wedding.
"I don't know [if we'll be getting married anytime soon]," she explained. "You know, he's assistant coaching for the Spurs, so we spend a lot of time going back and forth to San Antonio. It's tough. It's hard. It's a challenge."
Though they faced some difficulties with their relationship, the two are on the same page.
"But we are committed to one another and our babies," she said. "You know, you just do what you gotta do. It was a great opportunity for him, coming from being a player. It was like the perfect way to parlay into his coaching career and so I have to support that."
But now that some time has passed, not only is Long ready to get married, she recently told TMZ that she sometimes hopes for the Spurs to lose so that she can spend more time with Udoka.
Long also told TMZ that she and Udoka have not set a date for their wedding and plan to take their time with planning the big ceremony.
