Although the actress has frequently mentioned that DMX is her godparent, fans are still confused sometimes. Contrary to popular misconception, the actress has different biological parents. The actress was born to an African American father and a Puerto Rican mother.
The actress was raised alongside four siblings by her single mother, Cheryl Martin. Martin is a co-owner of CMA Entertainment, a talent management and production company with over 20 years of experience in the entertainment industry, including motion picture, television, voice-over, theatre, and music.
In an interview with Schön magazine, Hurd credited her family for her success.
I really don’t know where I would be without my faith and my family. My mom, my siblings have truly kept me going. Their support means everything to me.
The actress is gearing up for the filming of the third season of BET’s The Oval after the second season finale wrapped up.
