Nia Long has said she is 'so single' but dating.
The 52-year-old actress - who is plugging her romantic comedy You People - told Drew Barrymore last week that she has been seeing a few people but it's nothing serious as she added that she has her eye on one man in particular but won't give up his name.
This comes after she ended a 13-year relationship with former fiancé Ime Udoka, a 45-year-old Nigerian-American professional basketball coach and former player who was accused of cheating on Long.
Nia said that she was 'nervous' about getting back in the dating pool.
After she was connected to R&B singer Omarion after the two posed for a photo together on the red carpet at the You People premiere, Nia shut down any rumors about a relationship saying, 'I gotta be careful who I stand next to on a red carpet.'
She added, 'I’ve dated, like, five or six people that I don’t even know their middle name,' she continued. 'I’m, like, "How is this my boyfriend? Wow, this is very interesting. I don’t even know this guy’s middle name."'
However, she does have someone in mind. 'I have my eye on one person. I'm not saying. I'm never telling.'
When it comes to being true to herself in a Hollywood culture that is constantly changing, Nia explained, 'I think we have to be comfortable with this journey in every step of our womanhood... and you know what? I am not fixing one thing, because this is me.
'I'm cool with it. I don't need to change anything.'
When Nia asked the 47-year-old Dew if she was on dating apps, Drew quickly answered, 'Yes I am, because no one's meeting in real life, everyone's running home to the apps... everyone's like "I don't want to be rejected in public. I'll do it in private.'
The Never Been Kissed star even offered to lend Nia a hand in setting up a profile.
'I suggest going on one and we'll go through it together.'
'I don't think my ego would allow that,' replied the The Banker actress. 'It's not about that,' contended Drew.
Also during the interview Long said she was fitting in her skinny jeans again and feeling good about herself.
'I am wearing my old jeans again,' she shared.
