The crime series gives fans a gritty, eye-opening view on the drug world with just the right amount of drama. Although the show is centered around the life of Tariq St. Patrick (Michael Rainey Jr.), one of his love interests, Diana Tejada (Latoya Tonodeo), has quickly become a breakout star on the show.
While most viewers have recently become acquainted with Latoya due to the Starz series, she’s actually been sprinkling her magic in Hollywood for quite some time. After entering the industry as a pre-teen, she landed roles in The Fosters, The Oath, Dutch Hollow and more. And now that Latoya has cemented her place in the entertainment world, fans are ready to learn more about her. For starters, who are Latoya Tonodeo’s parents? Does she have a beau? Here’s what we know.

Even though some child stars who grow to become actors make it a point to keep their parents close, Latoya has become an exception. According to Legit, not much information is known about Latoya’s parents. And since there is little to no mention of her parents on social media, it’s safe to say their identity will remain a mystery.
On July 9, 2018, Latoya did give fans a glimpse into her family life with a photo montage dedicated to her late grandmother. In the post, the star asked for prayers as her family prepared to lay her grandmother to rest.
While it’s common for fans to yearn for more information about their favorite celebs, there is a line that should be drawn. After all, some celebs are partial to privacy and that should be respected.
