How did LaKeith and Kasmere meet?

The couple met over in Canada, where the ‘Atlanta’ star was working together. He soon proposed to her during an island vacation around Kasmere's birthday, per People.

“All I ever tried to do in those crazy moments, like when she was in labor, was be a support system. That and figure out how many ice chips I needed to give her,” he back then.

In his biblical movie, ‘The Book of Clarence,’ Stanfield portrays the character of someone who "risks everything to carve his own path to a divine life," per a synopsis.

Discussing his role in a film written and directed by Jeymes Samuel, LaKeith Stanfield described it as a "unique part."

He expressed, "This was an arc and a story that I felt was universal, something everyone goes through – the desire to feel connected in life and navigating the motions, trials, and tribulations."

"Coming out of the end of that feeling inspired, I thought was a good message to leave people," he added.
