LaKeith Stanfield has announced that he’s engaged to Kasmere Trice and he’s also responding to claims that he fathered a child with another woman.

The 31-year-old Oscar-nominated actor, best known for his work in Get Out and Judas and the Black Messiah, took to his Instagram account to share the engagement news over New Year’s weekend.

Kasmere shared the news on her social media pages on December 30.

Also over the weekend, Tylor Hurd shared a video to Instagram that showed her and LaKeith spending time with their newborn child.

“decided to leave being someone’s secret family in 2022 ❤️ meet Apollo Stanfield,” she captioned the post.

LaKeith sarcastically commented on the post, “Thanks for respecting my not wanting to blast my child out to the internet. Very considerate of you.” Tylor responded, “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.”

LaKeith responded to that comment and said, “I never once in life said she wasn’t my baby. I hope this does whatever it was supposed to for you… my adult relationship privacy and children are two different things. I’m sure you realize that.”

Tylor later released a statement on her Instagram Stories to say that she didn’t share her post in response to LaKeith‘s engagement news.

“Just to clear a few things up, 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,” Tylor said. “And those clips of him and her together are all I have in general cause he barely sees her.”

LaKeith is also the father of a five-year-old child with his ex Xosha Roquemore.

Amid the news, LaKeith says his bond with his fiancee Kasmere is better than ever.

“Back to work. Loved the holidays and spending time with family. Some really great moments with loved ones. Beautiful time with my fiancé and the reinforcement of our bond in the midst of any kind of climate. Love is a trip because at the same time as it can inspire really massive beautiful feelings of connectedness, it can also inspire pain and anger, and at the end of the day I think that’s part of what makes it so special. Time to place focus back on the craft at hand. Let God guide. Cheers to a fire new year!” he wrote on Instagram on Monday night (January 2).
