Whether he's playing a passionate civil rights activist or a struggling telemarketer, there's no denying that Lakeith Stanfield is a rare talent.

After getting his start in 2009 with the short film, Short Term 12, Stanfield went on to star in a number of bigger titles, including Selma, Straight Outta Compton, Get Out and Sorry to Bother You. The famous actor also gained further recognition for playing William O'Neal in Judas and the Black Messiah, which earned him his first Academy Award nomination for Best Supporting Actor.

It's possible that the star's nomination will be followed by his first-ever Oscar win, but until the ceremony airs, we're taking this time to learn more about his love life. We want to know: Is he married? And if so, who is Lakeith Stanfield's wife? Keep reading for more details.

1. What Is Lakeith Stanfield's Relationship Status?

If you've been following Stanfield on social media, then you already know that the actor is tight-lipped when it comes to his love life. That said, we're not sure if he's seeing someone at the moment. However, we do know that the actor has been romantically linked to actress Xosha Roquemore.

2. Who Is Xosha Roquemore?

If Roquemore looks familiar, then it might be because you've seen her as Tamra in the popular rom-com series, The Mindy Project. The actress is also known for her role in the drama film, Precious, and her series on OWN, Cherish the Day. Fans may even recall spotting her in shows like Roseanne, I'm Dying Up Here and Southland.

3. When Did Stanfield And Roquemore Start Dating?

Stanfield and Roquemore were spotted together for the first time in 2015, when they made their red carpet debut. However, it's unclear if they're still dating. Since both have been extremely private about their personal lives on social media, it's impossible to confirm if they are currently a couple.

4. Did They Ever Tie The Knot?

It's hard to say. If it's true that Stanfield and Roquemore are still dating, then it's possible that they secretly got married. But since we haven't noticed them wearing any engagement rings, we're assuming that the pair didn't exchange vows.

5. Do Stanfield And Roquemore Have Kids?

They both share a daughter who, according to People, they welcomed in June of 2017. A name was not revealed, but after their child was born, Roquemore shared a pic of herself nursing her newborn (it has since been taken down). The mom had also shared a photo of Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie's Dear Ijeawele: A Feminist Manifesto in Fifteen Suggestions, along with a peek of her baby’s head.

6. Are They Currently On Social Media?

Roquemore is unfortunately no longer on Instagram, but she's still very active on Twitter. Meanwhile, Stanfield is on Instagram, but he's only shared two posts so far.

The actors may not be vocal about their personal lives on social media, but both have been keeping quite busy with their careers. For instance, Roquemore's series, Cherish the Day, was renewed for a second season and she'll be appearing in the live-action remake of Space Jam. As for Stanfield, he'll be starring alongside Idris Elba and Regina King in Netflix's upcoming Western film, The Harder They Fall.

Together or not, we're glad to see that Stanfield and Roquemore are taking Hollywood by storm.
