We’re bringing our family forward so we may inspire others.” 

Stanfield has two daughters from previous relationships. The couple did not reveal when exactly they got married or when their baby was born.

Singer Ari Lennox revealed a very private achievement on social media, confirming that she is seven months sober. The 32-year-old wrote on Instagram, “7 months sober. That’s a lot of sober flights. A lot of sober conversations. A lot of facing things raw and head-on. Honestly, I don’t know what will happen when I reach a year sober. Don’t know if sobriety is forever or not, but I can’t imagine going back to how things were.” 

After removing alcohol completely from her life, Fletcher said, “I feel more in control of my emotions. More stable. More happy. More alert. More safe. More accepting of things I can’t control and more responsible with things I can.” We hope this level of happiness continues for her.
