Surfacing for the first time since learning of her NBA head coach partner's affair with a staffer, the 51-year-old star was approached by a photographer Saturday in Los Angeles to comment on the confirmed infidelity. Footage of the exchange shows the starlet, dressed in all black and still wearing her engagement ring, refusing to comment as news of her prospective husband's romance with an unnamed staffer continues to prevail headlines. When asked if they were working things out, Long - who was accompanied by her and Udoka's ten-year-old son, Kez, during the encounter - lets out an exasperated laugh, before walking away and into her car. The exchange transpired as Long left a local Whole Foods - and came more than a day after the starlet told TMZ in a statement she was 'blindsided' by the affair that she reportedly only learned of when the Celtics suspended Udoka, 41gKFtogHYuTLgtmff2zbx9hk7DWS8VB612gDjf1YFPsfT66jV4UFCBNJSsUKKBpwf9y4CunA1UoucxSkm8NLtmRFxDFATc - were that Udoka, a former player who was set to start his second year as the Celtics' skipper, for violating ethics rules by having a consensual affair with a staffer. The identity of the staffer has yet to be released.
