In case you missed it, Queen Latifah brought her rarely-seen son, Rebel, out with her to see the Connecticut Sun take on the New York Liberty at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York. Not only was it an adorable mother-son moment, but it’s also their first public outing together in months.
As you can see in the photo obtained by Today, Latifah and her lookalike son are smiling from ear to ear as they pose with WNBA players Olivia Nelson-Ododa, Aaliyah Edwards, and Bria Hartley. While this may be a rare outing for them, it’s also very on brand for them to make a public outing at a basketball game since it seems to be a tradition for them.

Back in March 2025, for the Girls Trip star’s birthday, they went to a Lakers game, and before that, in 2023, they went to a Harlem Globetrotters Game in Brooklyn. (The mother-son duo also went to the 2024 Paris Summer Olympics, so it’s clear they love their sporty outings!)
For those who don’t know, Latifah and Eboni Nichols met while on the set of Dancing with the Stars back in 2009. While they made their relationship official in 2013, Latifah didn’t discuss her relationship publicly until 2021, during her speech for the Lifetime Achievement Award at the BET Awards 2021, according to HollywoodLife.
They share one son named Rebel, who was born in either 2018 or 2019.
