Back in the day, actress, Lela Rochon, had many everywhere diggin’ her when she played “Sunshine” in Harlem Nights in 1989. Remember that? “Sunshine” played that married dude, “Richie,” so good that he ended up calling his wife to tell her “Lookith, I ain’t never comin’ home no more…take it easy.” That had everybody crackin’ up and Lela held her own against heavyweights like Eddie Murphy, Richard Pryor, Della Reese and Redd Foxx.

Then she went on to kill it in her many other roles in ’90s films like Waiting To Exhale, Why Do Fools Fall In Love, and Boomerang and more. But after starring in the 1999 film, Any Given Sunday, Lela started to fall back from the entertainment scene.

Lela’s New Roles As Wife & Mother

Although Lela still continued to act throughout the 2000’s, her roles as a wife and mother have become her top priority. She’s been married to her popular director husband, Antoine Fuqua — known for producing popular movies, like Training Day — since 1992. In 2002, Lela and Antoine had a baby girl named Asia Rochon. She was cute as a button back in in the day, but she’s an adult now.

Fast forward to now and Asia is now 20 years old, and is just as beautiful as her mother. Lela shared pics of Asia glammin’ it up for the ‘Gram and fans were surprised to see how much older she’s gotten.

She’s GAWGgeous!

Lela’s Husband, Antoine Fuqua’s, Directing Skills Are The Truth

In addition to directing the award winning film, Training Day, starring Denzel Washington, Fuqua also directed Denzel in the 2015 movie, The Equalizer, and in the 2016 film, The Magnificent Seven. Some of his other work includes the movies Southpaw (2015), Olympus Has Fallen (2013), and many more. Antoine has also directed music videos for many artists, including Stevie Wonder, Arrested Development and Prince.

Antoine Fuqua’s Funny Memory About Directing Prince

Fuqua also shared a funny memorable moment from the time he first met Prince when he shot Prince’s “Beautiful Girl” video at Prince’s Paisley Park home:

Antoine Fuqua (via Huffington Post): “My favorite memory is him coming down those steps. I mean, these are some pretty grand steps. You gotta picture it. It was very light inside, very bright. The steps, I don’t know if they’re marble, or what they were, but all I saw was a red thing coming down the steps, like out of a Fellini thing. And his platforms. And a really tight paisley suit. And I just couldn’t figure out who it was because there were girls all around. He just kind of appeared and floated down the steps. And then he steps close to you and it takes you a minute, if you’re a fan of Prince, to say, ‘Man, I’m standing in front of Prince.’ And you’re thinking to yourself, “How fu*king cool is that, to be Prince? To walk down those steps and say, ‘Hey, I’m Prince?’ I’m like, ‘Wow.’ And he was very cool. He was just easy. He walked me around and showed me. It was cool, man.”

Many people never knew that Jackie Jackson and Breakin’ film star, Adolfo “Shabba Doo” Quiñones, both dated this popular 90’s actress…not at the same time though. Shabba Doo, who is also a former member of the infamous pop locking group, The Lockers (Re-Run was in that one too), was actually married to this actress during the height of his career.

Here’s a hint: She was a sex symbol and has starred alongside some of your favorite comedians in a few popular films. Scroll down to see who Jackie and Shabba Doo were crazy about…

Who Did They Love?

Lela Rochon is the actress who had Jackie and Adolfo “Shabba Doo” Quiñones doing back flips back in the day! Lela’s best known for her roles in Boomerang, Waiting To Exhale, Why Do Fools Fall In Love, and Harlem Nights, where she had Redd Foxx daydreaming about “Sunshine.”

JACKIE & LELA

Jackie Jackson made his rounds with the ladies back then and although he and Lela made some public appearances together, most people didn’t know that the actress had a thing going on with Jackie in the 90’s. I wonder if this was around the same time that Jackie was also dating this unlikely 90’s singer.

Now as far as Lela and the Breakin’ star, Shabba Doo,  things were WAY more serious…

SHABBA DOO & LELA

Adolfo “Shabba Doo” Quiñones and Lela Rochon were married the same year that the cult classic film, Breakin,’ was released. Their marriage lasted for a total of three years and Shabba Doo explained that he was the one who messed things up with Lela, as well as to his first wife, Gwen:

Via Black Hollywood File: “I was married twice. Wasn’t that good at it. I wouldn’t say that my marriage was no good because of the ladies that I married. They turned out to be very wonderful ladies and I was just incapable of having a meaningful relationship or maintaining one. I had good relationships, they were good. I wish I could have recognized how good they really were. Sometimes, you know, hindsight is 20/20. This is very true. Anyway, my ex-wife was Lela Rochon. Also another great lady, wish I could have been better – I wasn’t – our breakup was all my fault, not hers at all. And my other wife was Gwen Powell, again lovely lady, terrible at being a husband and being a boyfriend. So I lost two really great people.”

Welp, at least the brotha was able to admit his wrongs…we live and we learn. Check out what he’s doing now and also who Lela is happily married to now…

Although Shabba Doo’s legendary breakdancing days with Rerun and The Lockers on “Soul Train,” are now officially soul history, fast forward to today and his resume’ is pretty healthy. He’s starred in several small films and he’s a professional choreographer who’s worked with Madonna, Lionel Richie and many others. He was even responsible for getting a then-unknown Lela Rochon a part dancing with Lionel in the “All Night Long” music video. He also choreographed Three Six Mafia’s performance on the 78th Academy Awards, where the group won the Oscar for best original song for “It’s Hard Out Here for a Pimp” (from The Hustle & Flow soundtrack).

Lela Rochon moved on many years ago and married the love of her life, Training Day film director, Antoine Fuqua. They have 2 children together and Antoine has one other child from a previous marriage.

Here is a throwback clip of Shabba Doo in a dance off back in the day: Street Scape vs. The Lockers:
