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.

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.
