Queen Latifah has a girlfriend. Her name is Jeanette Jenkins (it could be spelled “Jeannette” too, various sources have it spelled both ways), and she’s a personal trainer. Latifah and Jenkins have been rumored to be dating for years – and most sources have them living together in Latifah’s New Jersey mansion. Note: the woman with Latifah in these photos is not Jeanette. This is some new girl. If you want to see Jeanette, go here – Latifah and Jeanette were both on the marital yacht of Alicia Keys and Swizz Beatz, just a few weeks ago, looking cute. So who is this new girl that Latifah is so affectionate with in Barcelona?
Bossip doesn’t know who this chick is either: “Maybe they’re just friends but that looks like a romantic dinner and stroll in the rain to us!” I don’t know… yeah, Latifah could just be affectionate with a female friend. Or Latifah could just have special ladies in every country. Day-um, Latifah.

If Latifah wants to take a friend out for dinner it’s her business and nobody else’s. Idle speculation can be hurtful and seems to be overly invasive.
She (the other girl) almost looks like a teenager/daughter figure/niece. I personally don’t see Latifah as someone who would screw around.
Latifah has siblings who have children. Perhaps this girl is a niece. They don’t really look “romantic” just close. That’s the way I walk with my niece(s). People need to just back off on this.
So let me get this straight… everytime she photographed with a woman she’s going to be accused of cheating on her girlfriend??? That’s ridiculous.
Maybe she and her partner have an open relationship. Just because you’re screwing around, doesn’t necessarily mean you’re cheating!
are they sure that it’s latifah? her face looks different and her body thinner than the photos shown here the other day. plus, the photos are dark and grainy, etc…
I thinks it’s pretty darn cool that every post so far has been the voice of reason instead the voice of obsessed gossip reader. I don’t have a clue who Latif’s evening companion is in these pictures – and I love it that everyone had said – let’s NOT jump to conclusions…
Hoooraaayyyyy for Cele/bitchy readers!!!!
I don’t think they look that close. QL has her hands in her pockets and looks kind of stiff, and the other girl appears to have latched on. Doesn’t look like QL is comfortable, but that might also be bc of the photographers.
I agree with the niece/family member thing. That was my first thought.
Two people can’t even have dinner anymore?
My first thought was niece or cousin- the girl looks really young, and the closeness looks platonic to me.
I know you can’t tell much from a picture, but this doesn’t read like a romantic date to me.
@a I wondered if that’s even her to begin with too. I don’t think those pictures really look like her.
option # 3: maybe she and her partner have an understanding/open relationship.
That young woman looks and dresses really, really young. I agree with the niece/relative idea. Besides, have you seen her girlfriend?!?! Hot, hot, hot!
They don’t look romantically involved at all….what’s with QL face in the last picture?
No way, that chick is way too ugly for her, and wtf is up with that hat.. gross.
They look more like friends to me. Or, like others have suggested, a niece or someone.
She does have a big family. I live in PA near her father and she closed down a local water park the day before Father’s day for her dad, siblings, nieces and nephews. She’s around here fairly often visiting her dad and there are young people around the age of this girl, so yeah, could be family. She seems pretty tight with them.
Wow people must be really bored and desperate to say this is proof of an affair. They’re having dinner. I don’t see anything romantic about it. Their demanor isn’t any different from the men in the background. Also women link arms like that all of the time. I don’t understand how that’s a sign of homesexuality.
There used to be a variety show on down here in Australia called Rov Live, and the host Rov McManus would finish his interviews with celebrity guests by asking them who they’d turn gay for, and the guests would usually come up with some attractive person from the same sex. Chris Rock was on one time and Rov asked him who he’d turn gay for and he said Queen Latifah.
Jeebus, Queen L. can’t have dinner with what looks to be either a good friend or family member without the Pappz gossip. *eye roll*
So anytime she’s photographed with another woman, she’s stepping out on her girlfriend? Uncool.
One poster wrote this “If Latifah wants to take a friend out for dinner it’s her business and nobody else’s. Idle speculation can be hurtful and seems to be overly invasive.”
I mean cool, everyone’s entitled to their own opinion, but damn. Bad choice of words for a Gossip Blog. Isn’t it all about idle speculation?
SO when women go out to eat dinner that means they are gay??—-WTF.
Definitely also thought it was a niece, cousin, some family member. Way too young.
@Lanette, the Queen is gay. However, I will agree with everyone else and say speculating on these photos is bullshit.
im kinda sick of my battery on my android going down so fast, seriously annoys the poo out of me, see what happens, find a good site and BAM my battery is dead, so yeah, i luckily had enough battery to read this and post the comment haha, i have no life. yay me!
This is getting a bit more subjective, but I much prefer the Zune Marketplace. The interface is colorful, has more flair, and some cool features like ‘Mixview’ that let you quickly see related albums, songs, or other users related to what you’re listening to. Clicking on one of those will center on that item, and another set of “neighbors” will come into view, allowing you to navigate around exploring by similar artists, songs, or users. Speaking of users, the Zune “Social” is also great fun, letting you find others with shared tastes and becoming friends with them. You then can listen to a playlist created based on an amalgamation of what all your friends are listening to, which is also enjoyable. Those concerned with privacy will be relieved to know you can prevent the public from seeing your personal listening habits if you so choose.
