Who is Kyla Pratt dating?
Pratt, 36, is in a long-term relationship with tattoo artist and rapper Danny “KP” Kirkpatrick, 36.
The pair both star on the VHI reality TV series, Black Ink Crew: Compton, which centers around the first tattoo shop to be located in Compton, California.
As MadameNoire reported in October 2019, Kirkpatrick shared the story of how he and Pratt met with VHI.
He reportedly said: “Kyla and I met almost 11 years ago. I had a cousin that was my roommate—I had two female cousins and one of them invited her over. I was always in the house cooking my own meals, making sure stuff was clean. In my room.
“It was a down time for me because I was on probation. I couldn’t even leave L.A. County. So I was in the house hustling, doing tattoos.
“I walked in the house, my cousin introduced us, ‘KP, this is KP. She was like, ‘I’m KP.’ Then I went to my room. After that, I came out my room and I had a few of my homeboys come by and we was all talking s*** to each other.
“One of my boys, I think it was a tall shot glass or a bottle of liquor and we got into a discussion about who could drink the most or who could take that type of shot. So I already knew I could handle that.
“But he felt like that’s nothing. I’m like, ‘Well you do it.’ He tried it and couldn’t handle it and spit the liquor out. And I was laughing, I was crying laughing.”
He continued: “And she [Kyla] jumped in and was like, ‘You talking all that s*** I want to see you do it.’
“I was like, ‘I can do that.’ And then at that moment, I was like, ‘What I’m getting out of this? But since you calling me out, if I take this shot, you gotta be KP Jr.’
“Did it, everybody went crazy, ‘Oh, you Jr.’ After that we was cool. That’s how we met.
“It’s crazy because when I seen her, she looked familiar and I was like, ‘That’s that little actress.’

“Because she younger than me and as a kid, I was always looking at older actresses like the Jada and Halle Berry’s. I kind of looked at her as a kid, not knowing her full impact and résumé.”
Are Kyla Pratt and Danny Kirkpatrick married?
According to MadameNoire, Pratt, and Kirkpatrick got engaged in 2011.
In September 2014, the former Disney star spoke with VladTV about why the couple were yet to get married.
She said: “We’re gonna get married when we feel like it. I feel like there’s a lot of pressure that people try to put on anybody in relationships as far as getting married.
“And, I was having a conversation with someone recently and I reminded them, I said ‘There’s a lot of pressure that comes with that piece of paper. And why not work on your relationship before jumping into all that pressure? I don’t wanna get married to get divorced.’
“Of course, young ladies, you know, we dream about our weddings and stuff like that, but I want it to be perfect, I wanna have the perfect—not the perfect, ’cause there’s no such thing, but I wanna have a great marriage, and that’s what I wanna focus on.”
Pratt continued, in part: “So, right now, we’re good, we’re good where we are, and it’ll happen when we feel like it.”
As of May 2023, it appears the couple still has yet to tie the knot.
