"I watch Tyler. I watch Oprah. All the people on her team are dream builders, and they believe in other people’s dreams."

Sumpter and James have faced some backlash online for their interracial relationship. However, she has taken all the comments in stride and responded with witty comebacks.

In 2017, they honored another famous interracial television couple on Halloween when then dressed as Zack Morris and Lisa Turtle from "Saved by the Bell."
