FULTON COUNTY, Ga. – What began as one of the worst-kept secrets during the YSL RICO trial has blossomed into a beautiful public love story. Defense attorney Kayla Bumpus and former YSL co-defendant Shannon Stillwell are officially expecting a baby boy, due on October 20, 2025!
The couple’s relationship first caught public attention amidst the high-profile trial, sparking rumors about their connection outside the courtroom. Since Stillwell’s acquittal on major charges in December, their romance has flourished, with the couple sharing playful Instagram posts, engagement-style photos, and heartwarming pregnancy announcements.
On August 15, Bumpus took to social media to celebrate their love, posting several photos of the couple on X (formerly known as Twitter) and referring to their relationship as a “True Atlanta love story.” She also shared a link to their baby registry, further solidifying their commitment as they prepare to welcome their new addition.
Kayla Bumpus, a graduate of Atlanta’s John Marshall Law School, has made headlines throughout the trial, representing high-profile clients and navigating one of the longest criminal trials in Georgia history. Her dedication and skill in the courtroom have garnered attention, but it’s her blossoming relationship with Stillwell that has captured hearts.
Stillwell’s trial concluded with a mixed verdict; while he was acquitted of murder and RICO charges, he was convicted on a single gun count and sentenced to ten years, with two to serve. However, after receiving credit for time served, he walked out of court a free man, ready to embrace this new chapter with Bumpus.
Their public appearances have showcased their playful dynamic, with Bumpus documenting mini-golf dates, a February gender reveal for their baby boy, and even a humorous video where Stillwell jokingly apologized to “my wife” for “cheating on her”—in her dreams, of course.
By August, the couple’s relationship took another step forward with what appeared to be engagement photos, featuring Bumpus’s sparkling diamond ring and a caption that read, “And if loving you is a crime… tell me why I bring out the best in you.”
While the details of their marital status remain a bit unclear, one thing is certain: Baby Sevynn is on the way, and the couple is excited to embark on this journey together.
