Back in 2013, Nia opened up about finding love again in an interview. Known for her roles in blockbuster films like Big Momma’s House, she shared her thoughts on balancing ambition and love. "I think that women who are extremely driven to success, ambitious, they get to a point in their lives where they’re like, ‘Uh oh. I am 30-something years old, and I don’t have a husband and I don’t have children yet and what does that mean?’” she reflected.
But Nia had a clear perspective on the matter. “I think what it means is stay in your course because it’s going to happen when it’s supposed to happen. It doesn’t happen for everyone at the same time, so you can’t compare your life to someone else’s,” she told Rolling Out magazine. Her wisdom resonated with fans, offering hope and encouragement to anyone navigating their own path to love.
