Nia Long Covers Essence With Her Two Sons
Posted by Media Outrage on July 6th, 2012
Nia Long is on the August 2012 issue of ESSENCE magazine with her two sons.
Beautiful family.
Excerpts from the interview after the jump
On being in the best shape of her life:
“I’m in my forties, post baby and I’m thinner than I’ve been in years. The last step will be letting my hair go natural. That’s when you’ll know I’m free…”
On if a husband is in her future plans:
“Marriage is not a priority for me. I’m not saying I’ll never do it; It’s just not where we are as a family,”
On her maturation since having children:
“I’m a lot calmer. Less clingy and demanding. When Ime has to be gone for long stretches at a time, as he had to the first few months after Kez was born, I took it as an opportunity to nest. It had been a minute since I had an infant and I had to get back into the rhythm of being a new mom. I really enjoyed having the space to do that at my own pace. Motherhood is not easy, but it’s natural. I worked hard to have the career I wanted, but I’ve also been deliberate about my personal life. None of this is a mistake.”

So this is how she convinces herself that it’s o.k. to having children out of wedlock. Smdh
