REVEALED: Nia Long & Sons Set For Upcoming ESSENCE MAGAZINE Cover!

Feb 24 | by Natasha

We already saw Nia Long nude & pregnant on EBONY's cover months ago, now she's gearing up to cover ESSENCE mag with both her babies. Deets inside...

Nia Long hasn't been working hard to get back into pre-baby form for nothing. TheYBF.com has learned that the beautiful Mooz-lum actress, who just gave birth to baby Kez Sunday 3 months ago, is set for the upcoming new issue of ESSENCE magazine.

While actress Kerry Washington is currently gracing the March 2012 cover, it looks like Nia is set for a subsequent issue. And she'll be rocking the cover and pages with both of her sons--Kez and 10-year-old Massai, Jr.

Nia's been whipping her bod back into shape with celebrity fitness trainer Jeanette Jenkins. YBF's L.A. correspondent Kalia Silva caught up with the fab Jeanette on yesterday's black carpet for the 5th Annual ESSENCE Black Women In Hollywood Luncheon, and she spilled the beans that Nia just wrapped her cover shoot.

Check the video below:

Is ESSENCE asking for more controversy by featuring the never wed Nia (but engaged) on the cover with her kiddies...or is it simply a beautiful pictorial, which reflects our current society, of a mom and her kids?

Umm Nia has no projects

Umm Nia has no projects coming out this year so why is she gracing the cover of Essence so many times! I mean seriosly there are other black women out there they can showcase. mEssence strikes again. And if it is for the Mother's Day issue then they could have found some married mothers for that ish.

Agreed...another person riding off Whitney. Cassie ask Diddy why did he call everybody to come to Clive pre gram party while Whitney's body was 4 floors above your head. Wow, you was there too!! Not supporting anyone who was at the Clive Davis party. And ask why Diddy almost died a day later, I knew that was Whitney's doing.

either way, people r not

either way, people r not getting or STAYING married like they used to. many women r deciding to have families without the man or husband. i am not saying it is right. but people don't use the word "illegitimate or b******" like they did back in the day. on the View, they talk about many women (of all races) more and more not even starting family with boyfriend, but going straight to the sperm bank. i think that should be a wakeup call to men.

I'm sure ppl were expecting her to do it and that's why she went the opposite direction. She flaunted her belly on the beach during her early pregnancy. What more do you want. i can't even begin to understand why ppl are so jealous of this woman.

Looking at the state of the Black family, it doesn't make sense to ignore the fact that the majority of Black children are born out of wedlock. She is Black woman, and not some sort of outlier, so I guess why not celebrate her if she's happy and rearing her children well.
