Who is Nia Long married to?
Although Nia Long and Ime Udoka got engaged in 2015, the couple is not married and has no current wedding plans.
“Love is complicated, let’s just start there,” said Nia during a 2020 interview with Essence.
“… I’ve never been married. And there’s a reason for that because I don’t know that I need to say ‘I do’ to prove to you that I love you.”
She continued: “But also, what does marriage really [mean]… that you own me now and I own you? I don’t get that part.”
Nia added: “I understand the religious aspect of marriage.
“That is beautiful and it’s fantastical and it’s dreamy and it’s every girl’s fantasy to have that moment.”
She concluded: “But I don’t know that I need that to feel like I’m in a partnership that’s working.”
Together, Nia and Udoka share one child: Kez Sunday Udoka.
