A Twitter chatter causing couple recently dished to BOSSIP about being featured on an Issa Rae-created show.
As previously reported the second season of HBO Max’s Sweet Life: Los Angeles has been burning up Twitter timelines as folks watch this good-looking group pursue their dreams in South L.A. all while taking lavish vacays, reaching career and relationship milestones, and navigating friendships as young, black and beautiful 20-somethings.

The sophomore season was especially interesting as it featured more of Keilan and Candiss.

Keilan, the cousin of cast member Jaylenn, and Candiss, the friend of Jaylenn’s girlfriend, Tylynn, had a rocky first season–but shone this time for much more interesting reasons.
On Sweet Life: Los Angeles season Keilan and Candiss ad honest conversations about taking the next steps in their relationship and for Keilan, that meant a child. But for Candiss, that meant marriage—and having protected sex so that they wouldn’t have a child before they were ready. Keilan pushed back and was adamant that they’d tie the knot in “God’s time” and the tense convos caused a ruckus on social media but that’s not the only reason why these two caught people’s attention.
In the final episode of Sweet Life: Los Angeles, the couple inadvertently drove the drama when Candiss told her homegirl Tylnn that Keilan might have discouraged Jaylenn from proposing to her.

Keilan and Jaylenn apparently had a conversation about Jaylenn getting down on one knee, and afterward, the engagement plans vanished.
Needless to say, that ruffled not only Tylnn’s feathers but the viewers’ as well.
BOSSIP recently caught up with Candiss and Keilan to talk about their sophomore season, those real and raw moments centered around their relationship, and THOSE Keilan “sabotaged” Jaylenn’s proposal allegations.
We got way more insight into you guys as a couple on Sweet Life: Los Angeles season two. So for you both, who was your favorite person to film with? Was it each other or was there someone else on the cast that stood out?
Candiss: My favorite person to film with? I think it was him. I mean, it’s just a bond [that we share], honestly. It’s just a bond. So we were able to really take it there together.
Keilan: Yeah. I think my favorite person filming with was probably between Candiss, Marcus, and Jaylenn. Just because I’ve known them the longest on the show and I’ve been more comfortable with them.
So, Candiss, like you said, you guys have this strong bond, how has it been watching your relationship play out on Sweet Life: Los Angeles?
Candiss: It’s been a rollercoaster.
I can imagine. I know y’all get DMs…
Candiss: Yeah. My DMs are booming and I’m loving it. Because people are so inspired. People are thanking us and… Well, I’ll speak about my DMs personally. People are really appreciative that I was open and vulnerable to talk about something so private on national television. It’s been good. People are reaching out. Everybody relates. Oh, so many women are just like, “Thank you, I’m finding my voice.”A lot of women are afraid to have those kind of conversations with their dude, because it’s just like a power trip or whatever, but they’re getting their voice and I love to see it, honestly.
