Mekia Cox, who portrays Nyla Harper, married basketball analyst Britt Leech in 2018. Their wedding was a beautiful tribute to Cox’s Caribbean heritage, featuring influences from St. Croix and Barbados. Like her co-star Alyssa Diaz, Cox’s second pregnancy was celebrated by the show’s writers and integrated into her character’s storyline, a move she praised for making her feel supported as a working mother.
