Rapper Jeezy, whose real name is Jay Wayne Jenkins, has expressed interest in actress Nia Long, making headlines after his recent appearance on The Breakfast Club. During the episode, Jeezy addressed speculation regarding his flirtation with Long during their viral 2023 interview, confirming that there was indeed mutual attraction, stating, “They wasn’t lying.”
The rapper emphasized his commitment to being respectful amid the finalization of his divorce from ex-wife Jeannie Mai, which he describes as a challenging period. Despite the ups and downs of his marriage—where he accused Mai of gatekeeping their child and she accused him of domestic violence—Jeezy noted that he has never cheated in a relationship, sharing, “Real men don’t cheat.”
With his divorce finalized in June 2024 after filing in September 2023, Jeezy now feels free to explore new connections. He extended an invitation to Nia Long to join him on his TM:101 20th Anniversary Tour, suggesting he is ready to pursue a potential relationship.
Nia Long, who was last involved with her ex-fiancé Ime Udoka, is also officially single after their 13-year relationship ended in December 2022 due to infidelity issues. Both are now focused on co-parenting and their individual journeys, opening the door for possibilities.
This situation illustrates how both individuals are navigating life post-divorce and may potentially find happiness with each other. With their shared status as single parents, a connection could flourish that benefits them both personally and professionally. The outlook remains hopeful as they move forward in their lives.
