Working out is one way Long loves to stay healthy, youthful, and sexy despite being 50 years old. In May, the "Fresh Prince of Bel-Air" star caused a stir after a Twitter user tweeted two side-by-side snaps of the actress.
One photo showed Long when she was 25, while the second snap showed her at 50. In no time, the tweet began to trend as many tweeps commented on how Long has not aged a day.

Long is a mother of two children. She has an older son, Maasai, born in 2000, from a previous relationship. In November 2011, she welcomed a second son, Kez Sunday Udoka.
Long shares her second son with her longtime partner and former basketball star, Ime Udoka. The couple has been dating since 2010 and became engaged in 2015.
Since retiring from basketball as a player, Ime has become a coach on the sidelines. He has worked as an assistant coach for some NBA teams like the San Antonio Spurs and the Brooklyn Nets.
Recently, Ime went a step higher in his career as the Boston Celtics named him its new head coach, making him their 18th coach in 75 years.
Long has also been making great strides in her career, which has not always been easy given that she is a mother of two. However, she found a way to make things work.
Two years after welcoming Kez, Long opened up on how she balances motherhood with her career. Despite the challenges of combining motherhood with work, she said she loved every moment of it.
