Queen Latifah is Ready for a Baby but Not with Paula Patton

Queen Latifah is ready for love and ready to have a baby of her own but she won't be settling down nor starting a family with Paula Patton, despite recent reports.

The Flava Unit mogul recently completed her new movie project, The Perfect Match, released in theaters on Friday March 11. Patton, among many other actors, starred in the film and developed a close relationship with the hip hop legend. According to Gossip Cop, the two were recently photographed together while out doing promotional tours for the film and from there, the rumors began to fly suggesting that the two had become a couple.

A quick statement from Patton's rep, exclusively delivered to the site, cleared up all the rumors. "It's not true," the rep explained to Gossip Cop. "They are friends who produced a movie together and have been doing press appearances to support it."

Though the former Living Single star may not be settling down with Patton, she is however ready to settle down with a baby and start a family. According to Centric, the "Ladies First" rapper recently did an interview where she explained how she has been putting off motherhood for well over 40 years but now she thinks she may be ready for the new title of mother.

"I had some things to deal with," explained the Queen on her decision to hold out on having children. "I had to get a lot of partying out of my system early in life for about 40 years. You know what I'm saying. I'm good now. I think I'm ready."

According to the Black Reign hip hop legend, there's no telling when and if becoming a mother will actually happen for her but she is open to exploring all possibilities.

"I can't say what God has for me, but you will see. You'll see when I'm lugging the baby on the hip that there is actually a youngin around here," stated the 45-year-old. And when she says "youngin," she doesn't necessarily mean an infant. She has no problem adopting.

"Maybe I'll adopt a child that's not necessarily a baby," she explained. "There are a lot of kids that need love out there. I want to be there for somebody. I got to get all this stuff and give it somebody."

Watch the trailer for the film, The Perfect Match, in theaters now.
