Nia Long Gets Engaged To Longtime Boyfriend Ime Udoka

Actress Nia Long 44, has been linked to former NBA player and San Antonio Spurs assistant coach Ime Udoka for over five years.  The baller has finally laid a rock on her finger and the happy couple will be walking down the aisle very soon.  They have a 2-year-old son together named Kez, and Nia has an older son named Massai, from a previous relationship.  Kez is Udoka’s first child.
No word on a wedding date as of yet, but Nia did drop some great advice for women crossing the 30 mark and not married yet:

“I think that women who are extremely driven to success, ambitious, I think they get to a point in their lives where they’re like, ‘Uh oh. I am 30-something years old, and I don’t have a husband and I don’t have children yet and what does that mean?’” Long told Rolling Out during a press run for her 2013 film The Best Man Holiday.
“I think what it means is stay in your course because it’s going to happen when it’s supposed to happen,” she added. “It doesn’t happen for everyone at the same time, so you can’t compare your life to someone else’s.”

Nia also spoke on not pushing a good thing away:

“You have to have an open heart to be vulnerable to accept it when it does come. I think the more success you have as a woman, you kinda go, ‘Well, I don’t really need a man, cause look—I have everything I want,’ but the truth is you do need a partner because at some point in your life you’re not going to want to walk alone.”

Congrats to the happy couple!
