While actor Larenz Tate is probably best known for his role as the smooth talking, poet-reciting Darius Lovehall from the cult classic film about love, “Love Jones” on screen, off screen, he found his ‘love jones’ 10 years ago in his wife Tomasina Parrott.
The pair have been married for 10 years as of December 2016 and have three children together. Ten years in Hollywood is at least 20 years in the real world. While Larenz keeps busy with roles on breakout drama series, movies and his new star-studded podcast, “Bronzeville,” he makes sure to keep the love of his life at the forefront of his mind.

And the thing about it is, we don't go by other people's standards. What works in our relationship and our household may not work for the next people. But it's what we create and what we do.
We don't get involved with anybody else's business, we just do our thing. I know, because we was trying to dig up some some information we were like they keep it on lock. Yeah and it's something. Love that.
The one thing about our relationship in our family we have three children, we have three boys and our children is our truly our pride and joy. And that's the only thing that we can have like I'm out there you know what I mean.
But when it comes to our children and what we have, you know I think it's okay to have some level of privacy."
