Not long after it was revealed LaKeith Stanfield was getting married, a woman came forward to let the world know he’s the father of her son and has been a deadbeat! Yikes. Get the tea inside…
Well, the 2022 holiday season definitely ended with a bang for one Hollywood actor.
After going public with his relationship a few months ago, “Atlanta” star LaKeith Stanfield recently announced he’s engaged to his girlfriend, Kasmere Trice. The Sorry To Bother You star made Kasmere’s birthday a memorable one as he popped the question on her birthday! The new bride-to-be took to Twitter to share the engagement news.
“Yea… I’m having the best birthday,” she tweeted, along with photos of the ring and photos of them sightseeing together. “My baby made me Mrs. Stanfield for my birthday! #LaKeithAndKasmereForever.”

LaKeith also shared the engagement news, posting a photo of his future wife with the caption, “Happy Birthday to you baby.”
Engagement rumors started circulating in September 2022, when the Oscar nominated actor posted photos on Instagram that included photos of Kasmere wearing a diamond ring on THAT finger. LaKeith, who was previously linked to actress Xosha Roquemore with whom he welcomed a child in 2017, eventually deleted the photo. You can swipe below to see the ring via Kasmere’s IG account:
We noticed the ring above is different from the one she has on in the engagement announcement photos.
Not long after Kasmere, a Spellman grad, shared the exciting news, a blast from LaKeith’s past popped up with deadbeat dad accusations!
A woman named Tylor Hurt, 24, posted an Instagram video of her baby girl and the 31-year-old actor bonding and said LaKeith was the father of her daughter, Apollo Stanfield.
“decided to leave being someone’s secret family in 2022 meet Apollo Stanfield,” Tylor captioned the post.
Tylor accused LaKeith of keeping her and their baby, Apollo, a secret and said that she no longer wants to be a “secret family.” She also shared that she didn’t make this reveal out of jealousy, despite it being posted just one day after the engagement news. She said her issue is that LaKeith is more focused on his relationship with Kasmere than his own daughter…allegedly.
”Just to clear a few things up,” she wrote on IG Stories (swipe above). “I’m not jealous that he’s engaged to a woman he’s known for 5 months. I tried to meet the girl and everything and she ignored me when I tried. What I’m upset about is that he’s made more time to spend with this woman than he’s spent with Apollo her whole life and has been actively ignoring me when I’m trying to figure things out for our child. And those clips of him and her together are all I have in general because he barely sees her.”
In now-deleted comments, the “Atlanta” star seemingly had an issue with Tylor posting photos of their daughter.
“Thanks for respecting my not wanting to blast my child out to the internet,” he sarcastically wrote (captured by The Neighborhood Talk). “Very considerate of you.”
Tylor replied, “value your privacy is why you lied to people saying she wasn’t your baby or that I was just a random? you value your privacy but your gf post (sic) everything y’all do lol okay.”
”I never once in life said she wasn’t my baby. I hope this does whatever it was supposed to do for you,” he responded. “My adult relationship privacy and children are two different things. I’m sure you realize that,” he continued.
Tylor hopped on Twitter to post subliminal tweets as she vented about her situation with LaKeith. She said he promised her nanny if she got a job and never delivered.
In one tweet, she wrote, “he’s not a good dad lol I can count on my hand how many times he’s been with my girl. I got a job and he agreed to get the nanny never got the nanny. I always did my part and always tried to give him grace.”

Tylor also said he wanted another baby with her:
Despite the drama, LaKeith and Kasmere are still living it up post-engagement…unbothered.
“and a happy new year it is!,” Kasmere wrote in the caption of a photo that features her showing off her engagement ring with LaKeith standing right behind her.
”Happy new year!,” LaKeith captioned the same photo.
Congrats to the couple!
