Look How Big Nia Long’s Son With Cheating NBA Coach Ime Udoka Is Now!
Time really does fly. Actress Nia Long and NBA coach Ime Udoka may have had one of the messiest celebrity breakups of recent years, but one thing they’ll always share is their son, Kez Sunday Udoka. And fans can’t believe how grown up he is now.
Kez Growing Up in the Spotlight
Kez, who was born in 2011, is now a full-blown pre-teen — and yes, he’s already taller than a lot of adults. Recent photos of him alongside his famous mom show that he’s nearly shoulder-to-shoulder with Nia, who stands 5’2”, and he’s only just getting started.
The resemblance between Kez and his dad, Ime, is uncanny. But fans say he’s got all of his mom’s swagger, often spotted looking stylish at public events. With parents like Nia Long and Ime Udoka, there was never any doubt this kid was going to have the looks and presence to grab attention.
The Drama Behind His Parents’ Breakup
Of course, Kez’s parents made headlines for all the wrong reasons in 2022, when Ime Udoka was suspended from his role as head coach of the Boston Celtics for having an improper workplace relationship. The scandal ended his near decade-long relationship with Nia, and the breakup was painful — especially since Nia had stood by him publicly for years.
Fans rallied around Nia, who gracefully pivoted from heartbreak to thriving as a single mom. Throughout it all, she’s made it clear that her main focus has been on raising her son.
Nia and Kez: Hollywood’s Coolest Mom-Son Duo
Nia Long has always kept her personal life relatively private, but she’s not shy about letting the world see how much she adores her son. Kez has popped up at premieres, red carpets, and even on social media, often stealing the spotlight from his famous mom.
At a recent outing, Nia was glowing with pride as fans pointed out how quickly Kez is growing into a young man. “When did Nia Long’s son get so big?” one commenter asked. Another wrote, “That’s the same little boy she used to hold on her hip — now he looks like he’s ready for high school basketball.”
What’s Next for Kez?
It’s still early to tell if Kez will follow in his dad’s basketball footsteps or his mom’s Hollywood legacy. But one thing’s for sure: with his genes, charm, and presence, doors will be wide open in whatever direction he chooses.
For now, Nia seems intent on giving him as normal a childhood as possible while balancing the spotlight that comes with being the son of a beloved actress and a headline-making NBA coach.
The Bottom Line
While Ime Udoka is still working to rebuild his reputation in the NBA, Nia Long is thriving in her career and raising their son with grace. And Kez? He’s thriving too — taller, cooler, and more grown than ever before.
Fans can’t get over just how fast time has flown. One minute he was the baby Nia used to carry around on red carpets. Now he’s a young man making his own presence known.
Looks like Nia Long’s biggest role yet is being mom to one of the most talked-about celebrity kids of the moment.
