Jewel Magazine handpicked actress Sanaa Lathan to be their issue #10 cover girl. Sanaa sat down with Miki Turner to talk about her acting career, her boyfriend Chicago Bears defensive end Adewale Ogunleye, and her relationship with her film & TV producer dad Stan Lathan.

On her boyfriend Wale: Then she gets a little deeper, delving into her spirituality, being Black in Hollywood, her upcoming projects, and her current beau, Chicago Bears defensive end Adewale Ogunleye, who calls once during our interview. Judging by the softness in her voice and the smile on her face, it appears she’s found her brown-sugar boo. Lathan and Ogunleye, whom she calls “Wale,” were initially hooked up by Lathan’s older brother Tendaji and have been dating for two years. “He came highly recommended by my brother,” Lathan says with a grin. “We just hit it off right away. He’s really smart and really sweet…” At that moment, Lathan’s internal censor gets reactivated, and the intensely private actress politely says, “I don’t think I should talk about him. Should I?” [MIKI TURNER FOR JEWEL]
