Nia Long Poses For Playboy & Opens Up Where She’s At With Dating
On Monday, April 13, Nia Long took to Instagram with a joint post with Playboy, teasing her recent sitdown and cover with the outlet.
Then, later that day, Long returned to the platform to share a shot from her feature.
Furthermore, in her interview with the platform, Long got candid and discussed her career, her upcoming role in the Michael Jackson biopic, ‘Michael,’ as Katherine Jackson, her life as a mom, and if she’s dating.
“I can’t even answer that question. I probably shouldn’t answer that question. Am I ‘dating?’ I don’t like that word,” she said.
When asked why she isn’t dating, Long explained:
“I feel like that requires me to go out and do something. I do think that if you’re looking for a partner, you have to be actively out there in order to meet. But I am not in that space right now. I’m really focused on my kids, my work, and my girlfriends, and going out and having a good time. … I like to get up and do what I want to do when I want to do it. It’s not that I don’t want to have a partner, but I was in a relationship for a very long time, and I’m enjoying getting to know myself without feeling the need to be of service to a relationship. I want to be of service to myself, to my children, and to my career. And when the right man comes along [whom] I choose to commit to, then perhaps he will be of service to me,” she said.
Here’s What Else She Said About Dating
In addition, Long explained that her biggest turn-off about dating is people talking “too much.”
“I need them to shut up. If we’re going to have a one-night stand, I almost feel like I need to have them sign NDAs,” she said, later adding. “The new way of dating is so—I don’t even understand what’s happening! First of all, if I text you and you take a day, I’m never talking to you again. Never talking again.”
Before concluding on the topic, she added that she’s a “big fan” of dating younger because they “also go home.”
