He simply captioned the post with "Happy new year!" Furthermore, the picture shows the couple dressed in all-white in front of a glamorous Christmas tree. There are decorations galore, plus a sea of tables from beyond the windows where you can see some guests. Also, it's one of a few social media posts that have either enamored fans or made them jealous.

However, their relationship took a wild turn when the baby daddy revelations emerged right before 2023. The 31-year-old's baby mama posted a video to her social media celebrating the birth of their daughter Apollo. Later, many criticized the news coming so soon after LaKeith announced his engagement. Still, Hurd's words put things in a different context.

“Decided to leave being someone’s secret family in 2022. Meet Apollo Stanfield,” she wrote in her post. As backlash, shock, and sympathy came in from fans and regular users alike, she returned to IG to explain.

“Just to clear a few things up, I’m not jealous that he’s engaged to a woman he’s known for five months," she wrote. "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," she continued. "[He's] 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 cause he barely sees her.”

Still, what do you think of the Atlanta actor’s engagement and situation with Tylor Hurd? Let us know in the comments down below. Also, as always, check back in with HNHH to see if this story has more to it than we know.
