Witnessing Birth: A Life-Changing Moment

Speaking to Entertainment Tonight on the red carpet, Stanfield described holding a camera and capturing the moment while supporting Kasmere during labor.

Kasmere echoed the sentiment, explaining that the couple wanted to prioritize privacy and protection for their new family member.
