Queen Latifah, 45, strolls arm in arm with partner Eboni Nichols, 36, in NYC ahead of her debut as blues legend Bessie Smith in HBO biopic
Queen Latifah, 45, was arm in arm with her partner, choreographer Eboni Nichols, 36, during a Monday evening stroll in New York City.
The 45-year-old LA-based actress arrived in the Big Apple on Sunday when she was spotted checking into a swanky downtown hotel.
But her trip top Manhattan wasn't a vacation. The talk show host will be plugging her new HBO film Bessie Smith, which debuts on Saturday.
Best of friends: Queen Latifah and Eboni Nochols were spotted enjoying an evening stroll together Monday in Manhattan
Latifah has been spotted several times before with the dancer. In August they shared a kiss on the beach in Sardinia. They have yet to publicly discuss their relationship.
On Monday the former rapper looked happy and relaxed in a pair of grey sweats and a black v-necked T-shirt with her grey sweater tied around her waist.
The Chicago star had on white trainers with black trim and wore a black baseball cap with Brooklyn written on it as well as sunglasses and some large hooped earrings.

Busy: The award-winning actress and singer, who lives in LA, was seen checking into a NYC hotel on Sunday wearing grey sweatpants and a black long-sleeved top
Her friend Nichols looked stylish in black leggings, a grey tee and a pretty, patterned, knee-length jacket which she paired with sandals.
The actress and rapper - born Dana Elaine Owens - stars as bisexual blues legend Bessie Smith in the HBO movie.
The biopic is a personal project for the star who first considered playing the 1920s singer 22 years ago but passed because she felt she didn't have enough experience then to do the portrayal justice.
