The actress was initially coy about her private life and even kept her pregnancy a secret for seven months as she did not want people to ask her who the father was.

However, she surprised her fans in June 2017 when she shared an intimate photo of James and their daughter. James and Sumpter first met on the set of Tyler Perry's "The Haves and the Have Nots," while working up close and personal.

The couple was private about their relationship, but after welcoming Loren and becoming engaged, they changed the game. James proposed to Sumpter on Christmas Day in 2016.

She announced the proposal in January 2017 and revealed how he asked her to marry him. She said James did so many amazing things on Christmas morning.

She went on a little hunt in the house, after which he revealed that Loren had something to say to her. In Loren's hands was a beautiful letter. Afterward, James proposed to her in the simplest and most awesome manner ever.

James, Sumpter, and their adorable daughter make for an amazing family, and their fans hope they continue to have the best moments together.
