Latimore stated, “We met at the BET Awards in 2016,” in an interview for the premiere episode of “Millennial Love Stories,” which aired during the BET Awards 2022. Shameik Moore, a mutual friend and a great person, we adore you. So, I was aware of who she was without ever having actually met her. He also revealed that he had similarly done a double take when he saw McNeill on the red carpet at the star-studded award presentation in 2016, before giving her a heartfelt embrace. The two of us eventually started dating,” he stated.
Serayah McNeill, recalling their first date, raved about how impressed she was with Latimore after he took her to get her nails done. She reminisced about their first private outing together, saying, “I don’t think he had done it before, but he definitely was there getting a pedicure and that was like our first time together alone away from friends.”
Latimore stated, “I think the first time we posted no one really could tell if we were dating or not,” while describing the moment they made their relationship official after dating for over six to seven months. It resembled something else entirely. We weren’t trying to hide the fact that we were dating, and I’m surprised that it’s taken this long for people to figure it out.
This couple has been inseparable ever since they made their love official. They make it a priority to keep in touch with one another, even when they are busy with their own careers and physically separated by hundreds of miles. McNeill explained, “The way that we stay connected is through FaceTime calls.” We are constantly in touch and converse throughout the day, with the exception of when we are both working and therefore cannot speak.
