They both have built their brands separately for decades and throughout it all, most of their fans never knew they were sisters. Actress, Nia Long (48), and comedian/actress, Sommore (52), are legends in their own right, but even when I Love Old School Music revealed, in 2016, that they were of the same bloodline, only one of them had spoken publicly on the matter – Sommore.
Though it’s unclear why, Nia never spilled the beans about them back then, her big sis’ made it clear why she personally doesn’t like to talk about Nia in public (we’ll get to that in a minute though).
Fast forward to now, however, and the Boyz N’ The Hood veteran has finally said something to let her fans know that Sommore is in fact her sis.’ ‘Bout time!
Here’s what Nia Long recently shared online about Sommore.

In a short n’ sweet caption that read, “The funny one in the family. @sommore ❤️😜 #mybigsistergotjokes,” Long shared a side by side photo of herself and Sommore. Of course many of her fans were stunned as hell to say the least, but there’s more…
Here’s Why Sommore Said You’ll Never See Her & Nia In Public Together
Sommore was the first of the two siblings to publicly speak about Nia. She also dropped some interesting info about the dynamic of their relationship at that time. Here’s what we previously reported…
When most fans think of the bond between black celebrity sisters, they probably envision those with unbreakable bonds likes of Phylicia Rashad and Debbie Allen, Tia and Tamera Mowry, or even the Braxton sisters. But, that’s not exactly the case when it comes to Nia and Sommore.
Speculation of Sibling Rivalry:
For many years, there was speculation of a sibling rivalry between the two ladies, but there’s actually much more to the story. Apparently, you won’t see the two sisters together because despite the fact that they technically are blood sisters, they “aren’t sisters” according to what Sommore said in an interview with Divine Martino:
“We share the same father but we’re not necessarily sisters.”
