Nia Long has moved on and is willing to share how the split from Ime Udoka made her feel. Eventually, what seemed to be a perfect relationship had cracks that could not be repaired. The one-time power couple, who refused to share wedding vows despite a 13-year romance, parted ways last year.
How Long Did Nia Long and Ime Udoka’s Romance Last?
Nia Long and Ime Udoka were inseparable for over a decade. They met in 2010 before welcoming their son, Kez. Despite having a family, the duo only got engaged in 2015. They called off the engagement in December 2022.
What Fueled the Breakup Between Ime Udoka and Nia Long?
The first time news of infidelity plagued their romance was last year when the NBA star turned coach got involved with a female subordinate, who is rumored to be a part of the Boston Celtics management. Udoka not only lost his woman, but he was also suspended, and fans aired their disappointment.
Where Is Nia Long Now?
“Black don’t crack” in beauty and resistance, so it is safe to say that Long is doing okay now. The 53-year-old told pop star Jeezy that she felt a sense of reawakening once things ended. Even though her failed relationship was a public disgrace, she shared, as per PEOPLE:
“It was a wake-up call for me in the sense of like, ‘OK, you’re going to do this on your own and you’re going to be fine, and you’re not going to worry about what anyone thinks and has to say.”
Long confirmed that her romance was a rocky hill before it finally crashed. Although it affected her, she decided to pick up the pieces of her life. Sadly, ending a 13-year relationship also affected her older son, Massai, because of what he saw her go through to keep things together.
While Udoka has refrained from making comments, his ex-lover is being genuinely honest. Her interview with Jeezy ended emotionally as she tried to fight back tears before adding, “No, I’m good.”
