How Did Sonequa Martin-Green Meet Husband Kenric Green?
Sonequa married Kenric in 2010. They first met in 2009 when they were working together on a play after they had both moved to New York to pursue acting.
“Here I am moving from Alabama to New York, so here we are moving from two different sides of the country, and we meet in New Jersey. It was just meant to be; it was destined by God,” she recalled in July 2013, per the Franklin County Times.
Kenric also recounted his version of the events from the night he met Sonequa.
“We met while acting in a play together in Princeton, New Jersey,” he said. “There were something like eight cast members, and at least five of them were 55 or older, so I liked my chances of stealing her time and getting her to focus on me in the moment.”
“When I got to know her I realized that she was 1. pretty and 2. she laughed at my jokes, so I was pretty sold from there,” he said.

Like, wow, here we are after all this time. Here we are.”
