“Too much fun as usual. And a bonus to have my Lyric with me,” the ageless beauty wrote.
It is indeed a blessing to take your kids to work and live out your accomplishments alongside them. Speaking of which, Kyla and Lyric weren’t at the event just to enjoy the show. Pratt was nominated for three NAACP Image Awards this year. One was for her voice acting as Penny Proud in The Proud Family: Louder and Prouder. The actress was also one of the original cast members of the sitcom, which aired in 2001, and it is one of her most renowned works.

The Love and Basketball star is still very much booked and busy, but parenting is her primary job. She is a mother to two daughters. In addition to Lyric, who was born in 2010, she also has a twin in daughter Liyah, born three years later in 2013. Juggling acting and parenting has had its challenges, but balance is something the One on One actress has learned over time.

Kyla had both of her daughters with her longtime partner, Danny Kilpatrick. They met in 2008 through the tattoo artist’s cousin and have been an item since. As they approach close to 20 years together, if you’re wondering whether their relationship will lead to marriage, the two aren’t in a rush to make it official on paper.
“We’re going to get married when we feel like it,” she said in a chat with VLADTV in 2014. “There’s a lot of pressure that comes with that piece of paper. Why not work on your relationship before jumping into all that pressure? I don’t want to get married to get divorced…I want to have a great marriage, and that’s what I want to focus on. So right now, we’re good where we are.”
