March 2020: Stanfield Asks Out Singer Ari Lennox on Instagram Live
Stanfield commented on her Instagram Live (30 seconds into the archived clip), "Can you be my date? Let's go." Just a note, though, that Stanfield had been promoting The Photograph, which stars him and Issa Rae, so this could have just been a promo stunt. (In fact, Lennox is on the soundtrack!) In October 2020, Stanfield also reportedly reposted and deleted one of Lennox's photos with the caption "js."
