Loni Love has always been pretty straight forward about her personal views on dating and relationships. In the past, she has proudly boasted about being a “satisfied single.”
“I’m what you call a satisfied single,” Loni told The Jasmine Brand this past summer. “I don’t want to give any trip reports when I come home. I like having peace and quiet in my life and I am perfectly happy in my relationships.”
“I will never say never but I can tell you right now – I am perfectly happy with being who I am. I just – I really – I’m an entertainer and the thing that I’d decided to work on was my career and I decided the energy that I was putting in certain relationships – I was really kind of wasting my time and I knew it. So I said, I would take that energy and put it into my career. And now look – I’m on a talk show, I have a book that I wrote – I mean, it takes concentration for those things but it happened. So, It’s not that, I’ll never say never, but right now, I enjoy my life, I truly do enjoy being single and I don’t really want to get married.”
With Loni’s love for the liberties of the single life, we thought we’d never hear her utter the words “boyfriend;” however it looks like our girl has a new boo. During today’s episode of “The Ellen Show,” Ellen did a little prying and learned that Loni brought her new 23-year-old boyfriend, Sam, to the show. Then, during the “Loni’s Love Update” segment, Ellen brought him out. Apparently the two met at a comedy club.
“We met at a comedy club. She was eating nachos,” Sam told Ellen.
“I was eating my nachos, drinking my brown liquor, minding my business. And then I saw him and what did I say to you?” Loni asked Sam.
“Hey baby, want a drink?” Sam said imitating her hilarious pick up line.
Though she may have shocked us all by committing to a boyfriend, it doesn’t look like she plans to tie the knot again. Her facial expression when Ellen mentioned an engagement was absolutely priceless.
Watch Loni and Sam discuss what they love about each other on the next page.
