Queen LatifahQueen Latifah is reportedly making wedding plans with long rumoured girlfriend Jeanette Jenkins.

According to the National Enquirer, Latifah has been dating personal trailer Jeanette for five years after meeting in the gym. The couple are said to live together in home in Los Angeles and New Jersey - and are planning to take advantage of California’s recent decision to allow same-sex marriage.

Sources told the publication that the pair are planning an intimate ceremony, witnessed by a limited number of close friends and family, for later in the year.

A family insider explained that they would marry earlier but Latifah is both too busy - and still worried about publicly coming out: “[She] is very busy with her career, so she wants to wait to set a date until she has time for a honeymoon.

“[But she] is concerned about her career. She knows people’s attitude toward gay relationships and marriages are changing, but there is still some resistance, so she wants to keep a low profile.”
